the prices in the Federal Register. The
regulations also require ONRR to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
10, 1999, ONRR’s predecessor, the
Minerals Management Service,
published a final rule titled
‘‘Amendments to Gas Valuation
Regulations for Indian Leases’’ effective
January 1, 2000 (64 FR 43506). The gas
valuation regulations apply to all gas
production from Indian (Tribal or
allotted) oil and gas leases, except leases
on the Osage Indian Reservation.
The regulations require ONRR to
publish major portion prices for each
designated area not associated with an
index zone for each production month
beginning January 2000, as well as the
due date for additional royalty
payments. See 30 CFR 1206.174(a)(4)(ii).
If you owe additional royalties based on
a published major portion price, you
must submit to ONRR, by the due date,
an amended form ONRR–2014, Report
of Sales and Royalty Remittance. If you
do not pay the additional royalties by
the due date, ONRR will bill you late
payment interest under 30 CFR 1218.54.
The interest will accrue from the due
date until ONRR receives your payment
and an amended form ONRR–2014. The
table below lists the major portion
prices for all designated areas not
associated with an index zone. The due
date is the end of the month, following
60 days after the publication date of this
notice in the Federal Register.
