lands, much of it derived from these
energy and mineral development
reports. As EMDP projects produce
reports with large amounts of raw and
processed data, analyses and assays,
DEMD requires that deliverable
products be provided in digital format,
along with printed hard copies.
Reports can be provided in either
Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat PDF
format. Spreadsheet data can be
provided in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft
Access, or Adobe PDF formats. All
vector figures should be converted to
PDF format. Raster images can be
provided in PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or any of
the Windows metafile formats.
• Number of Copies. When a tribe
prepares a contract for energy and
mineral development, it must describe
the deliverable products and include a
requirement that the products be
prepared in standard format (see format
description above). Each energy and
mineral development contract will
provide funding for a total of six printed
and six digital copies to be distributed
as follows:
(a) The tribe will receive two printed
and two digital copies of the EMDP
report.
(b) DEMD requires four printed copies
and four digital copies of the EMDP
report. DEMD will transmit one of these
copies to the tribe’s BIA Regional Office,
and one copy to the tribe’s BIA Agency
Office. Two printed and two digital
copies will then reside with DEMD.
These copies should be forwarded to the
DEMD offices in Lakewood, Colorado, to
the attention of the ‘‘Energy and Mineral
Development Program.’’
All products generated by EMDP
studies belong to the tribe and cannot be
released to the public without the tribe’s
written approval. Products include all
reports and technical data obtained
during the study such as geophysical
data, geochemical analyses, core data,
lithologic logs, assay data of samples
tested, results of special tests, maps and
cross sections, status reports, and the
final report.

J. Requests for Technical Assistance
DEMD staff may provide technical
consultation (i.e., work directly with
tribal staff on a proposed project),
provide support documentation and
data, provide written language on
specialized sections of the proposal, and
suggest ways a tribe may obtain other
assistance, such as from a company or
consultant specializing in a particular
area of expertise. However, the tribe is
responsible for preparing the executive
summary, justification, and scope of
work for their proposal.
The tribe must notify DEMD in
writing that they require assistance, and
DEMD will then appoint staff to provide
the requested assistance. The tribe’s
request must clearly specify the type of
technical assistance desired.
Requests for technical assistance
should be submitted well in advance of
the proposal deadline established in the
DATES section of this solicitation to
allow DEMD staff time to provide the
appropriate assistance. DEMD will not
accept requests for technical assistance
that are received after May 27, 2010.
Tribes not seeking technical assistance
should also attempt to submit their
EMDP proposals well in advance of the
deadline to allow DEMD staff time to
review the proposals for possible
deficiencies and allow time to contact
the tribe with requests for revisions to
the initial submission.

On August
10, 1999, MMS published a final rule
titled ‘‘Amendments to Gas Valuation
Regulations for Indian Leases’’ at 64 FR
43506 with the effective date 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) (2009). 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
you do not pay the additional royalties
by the due date, MMS will bill you late
payment interest under 30 CFR 218.54.
The interest will accrue from the due
date until MMS receives your payment
and an amended Form MMS–2014. 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.
