AGENCY: Notice of annual price threshold determination and annual average oil and gas market price calculations, along with their effects for the Gulf of Mexico royalty relief programs. ACTION: SUMMARY: This notice provides the official MMS documentation of which Gulf of Mexico price thresholds have been exceeded by annual market prices for oil or gas, by lease vintage, for calendar year 2007. This notice also explains in detail how MMS calculates the annual oil and gas prices and applicable price thresholds used to determine whether royalty relief applies in calendar year 2007 for our various deepwater and deep depth royalty relief programs. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marshall Rose, Chief, Economics Division at (703) 787–1536. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By various laws (Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, Deep Water Royalty Relief Act, Energy Policy Act) and regulations (30 CFR 203.47, 203.54, 203.78, 260.110, and 260.122), MMS has authority to impose price thresholds for royalty relief. As prescribed in applicable regulations or lease terms, notwithstanding any provisions for royalty relief, companies are required to pay royalties for those calendar years when annual average New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) market prices for oil or gas exceed the adjusted price thresholds levels. As a courtesy, MMS tracks, calculates, and posts on its Web site a variety of relevant information about applicable oil and gas prices and the price threshold levels to be used in determining whether a particular lease continues to be eligible for deep gas, deep water, or other royalty relief. The information contained in this published notice was previously posted on the MMS Web site. The following table represents the official MMS price threshold and market price calculation determinations made for calendar year 2007. Any subsequent inflation adjustments or market price adjustments will not affect these official results or their implication for royalty relief on the designated categories of leases.

The MMS has sent correspondence to the affected lessees addressing the impact of the litigation during the interim. 2 The Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandated additional royalty relief for deep gas in shallow water in the Gulf of Mexico. The MMS published a proposed rule on May 18, 2007 (72 FR 28396), to implement this new relief, including a gas price threshold. The level of that price threshold and how it applies will be set in the final rule for ultra-deep wells spud after the date of the proposed rule. jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Technical Documentation The data and methodology used for making the 2007 calculations and determinations are discussed below.
