SUMMARY: Final regulations for valuing
gas produced from Indian leases,
published on August 10, 1999, require

royalty based on the major portion
value. This notice provides the major
portion values for the 12 months of
2004. The due date to pay is April 30,
2006, after which late interest will
accrue.

Major Portion Prices and Due Date for
Additional Royalty Payments on Indian
Gas Production in Designated Areas
Not Associated With an Index Zone
Minerals Management Service
(MMS), Interior.
AGENCY:
Notice of major portion prices
for calendar year 2004.
ACTION:
On August
10, 1999, MMS published a final rule
titled ‘‘Amendments to Gas Valuation
Regulations for Indian Leases,’’ (64 FR
43506) with an effective date of January
1, 2000. The gas regulations apply to all
gas production from Indian (tribal or
allotted) oil and gas leases, except leases
on the Osage Indian Reservation.
The rule requires that MMS publish
major portion prices for each designated
area not associated with an index zone
for each production month beginning
January 2000, along with a due date for
additional royalty payments. See 30
CFR 206.174(a)(4)(ii) (2005). If
additional royalties are due based on a
published major portion price, the
lessee must submit an amended Form
MMS–2014, Report of Sales and Royalty
Remittance, to MMS by the due date. If
additional royalties are not paid by the
due date, late payment interest, under
30 CFR 218.54 (2005), will accrue using
the Internal Revenue Service
underpayment rate (26 CFR 6621(a)(2))
from the due date until payment is
made and an amended Form MMS–2014
is received. The table below lists the
major portion prices for all designated
areas not associated with an index zone.
The due date is April 30, 2006.
