Abstract: The Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior is responsible for mineral resource development on Federal and Indian lands and the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953, Geothermal Steam Act of 1970, and Indian Mineral Development Act of 1982, the Secretary is responsible for managing the production of minerals from Federal and Indian lands and the OCS, collecting royalties and other mineral revenues from lessees who produce minerals, and distributing the funds collected in accordance with applicable laws. The Secretary also has a trust responsibility to manage Indian lands and seek advice and information from Indian beneficiaries. The ONRR performs the mineral revenue management functions and assists the Secretary in carrying out the Department’s trust responsibility for Indian lands. Public laws pertaining to mineral revenues are located on our Web site at https://www.onrr.gov/ Laws_R_D/PublicLawsAMR.htm. PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 When a company or an individual enters into a lease to explore, develop, produce, and dispose of minerals from Federal or Indian lands, that company or individual agrees to pay the lessor a share in an amount or value of production from the leased lands. The regulations require the lessee to report various kinds of information to the lessor relative to the disposition of the leased minerals. Such information is generally available within the records of the lessee or others involved in developing, transporting, processing, purchasing, or selling of such minerals. The information ONRR collects includes data necessary to ensure that the lessee accurately values and appropriately pays all royalties and other mineral revenues due. The Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982 (FOGRMA), as amended by the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Simplification and Fairness Act of 1996, sections 3, 4, and 8 for Federal lands, authorizes the Secretary to develop delegated and cooperative agreements with states (sect. 205) and Indian tribes (sect. 202) to carry out certain inspection, auditing, investigation, or limited enforcement activities for oil and gas leases in their jurisdiction. The states and Indian tribes are working partners and are an integral part of the overall onshore and offshore compliance effort. The Appropriations Act of 1992 also authorizes the states and Indian tribes to perform the same functions for coal and other solid mineral leases. This collection of information is necessary in order for states and Indian tribes to conduct audits and related investigations of Federal and Indian oil, gas, coal, any other solid minerals, and geothermal royalty revenues from Federal and tribal leased lands. Relevant parts of the regulations include 30 CFR parts 1227, 1228, and 1229, as described below: Title 30 CFR part 1227—Delegation to States, provides procedures to delegate certain Federal minerals revenue management functions to states for Federal oil and gas leases. The regulations provide only audit and investigation functions to states for Federal geothermal and solid mineral leases, and leases subject to section 8(g) of the OCS Lands Act, within their state boundaries. To be considered for such delegation, states must submit a written proposal to ONRR, which ONRR must approve. States also must provide periodic accounting documentation to ONRR. Title 30 CFR part 1228—Cooperative Activities with States and Indian Tribes, provides procedures for Indian tribes to E:\FR\FM\02FEN1.SGM 02FEN1
