FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
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 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 60 days after the publication
date of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Longshore and Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act (LHWCA) requires
covered employers to secure the
payment of compensation under the Act
and its extensions by purchasing
insurance from a carrier authorized by
the Secretary of Labor to write
Longshore Act insurance, or by
becoming authorized self-insured
employers (33 U.S.C. 932 et seq.). Each
authorized insurance carrier (or carrier
seeking authorization) is required to
establish annually that its Longshore
obligations are fully secured either
through an applicable state guaranty (or
analogous) fund, a deposit of security
with the Division of Longshore and
Harbor Workers’ Compensation
(DLHWC), or a combination of both.
Similarly, each authorized self-insurer
(or employer seeking authorization) is
required to fully secure its Longshore

• Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
