ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) regulations provide two types of accounting and auditing relief for Federal onshore or Outer Continental Shelf lease production from marginal properties. Each year ONRR provides a list of qualifying marginal Federal oil and gas properties to States that receive a portion of Federal royalties from those properties. Each State then decides whether to participate in one or both relief options. For calendar year 2019, we provide this notice of the affected States’ decisions to allow one or both types of relief. DATES: January 1, 2019. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Sudar, Market and Spatial Analytics, CEVA, ONRR, at (303) 231– 3511; or email to robert.sudar@onrr.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The regulations, codified at 30 CFR part 1204, subpart C, implement certain provisions of section 7 of the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Simplification and Fairness Act of 1996 (30 U.S.C. 1726), which allows States to relieve the lessees of marginal properties from certain reporting, accounting, and auditing requirements. States make an annual determination of whether or not to allow relief. Two options for relief are authorized: (1) Notification-based relief from cumulative royalty reports and payments, allowing lessees or designees instead to file one annual report and make one annual payment, and (2) other requested relief, as proposed by lessees or designees and approved by ONRR, after consulting with the affected State(s). The regulations require ONRR to publish no later than 30 days before the beginning of the calendar year a list of the States and their decisions regarding marginal property relief. To qualify for the first relief option (notification-based relief) for calendar year 2019, properties must produce less than 1,000 barrels-of-oil-equivalent (BOE) per year for the base period (July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018).

The public record for this proceeding may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.—On December 11, 2008, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) issued antidumping duty orders on imports of uncovered innerspring units from South Africa and PO 00000 Frm 00111 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Vietnam (73 FR 75390 and 75391). On February 19, 2009, the Department of Commerce issued an antidumping duty order on imports of uncovered innerspring units from China (74 FR 7661). Following the five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, effective April 23, 2014, Commerce issued a continuation of the antidumping duty orders on imports of uncoverd innerspring units from China, South Africa, and Vietnam (79 FR 22624). The Commission is now conducting second reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. Provisions concerning the conduct of this proceeding may be found in the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR parts 201, subparts A and B and 19 CFR part 207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct full or expedited reviews. The Commission’s determinations in any expedited reviews will be based on the facts available, which may include information provided in response to this notice. Definitions.—The following definitions apply to these reviews: (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is within the scope of the five-year reviews, as defined by Commerce. (2) The Subject Countries in these reviews are China, South Africa, and Vietnam. (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original determinations and its expedited first five-year review determinations, the Commission defined a single Domestic Like Product consisting of uncovered innerspring units, coextensive with Commerce’s scope. (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of the product. In its original determinations and its expedited first five-year review determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Industry as all domestic producers of uncovered innerspring units.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) regulations provide 
two types of accounting and auditing relief for Federal onshore or 
Outer Continental Shelf lease production from marginal properties. Each 
year ONRR provides a list of qualifying marginal Federal oil and gas 
properties to States that receive a portion of Federal royalties from 
those properties. Each State then decides whether to participate in one 
or both relief options. For calendar year 2019, we provide this notice 
of the affected States' decisions to allow one or both types of relief.

DATES: January 1, 2019.

Analytics, CEVA, ONRR, at (303) 231-3511; or email to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The regulations, codified at 30 CFR part 
1204, subpart C, implement certain provisions of section 7 of the 
Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Simplification and Fairness Act of 1996 (30 
U.S.C. 1726), which allows States to relieve the lessees of marginal 
properties from certain reporting, accounting, and auditing 
requirements. States make an annual determination of whether or not to 
allow relief. Two options for relief are authorized: (1) Notification-
based relief from cumulative royalty reports and payments, allowing 
lessees or designees instead to file one annual report and make one 
annual payment, and (2) other requested relief, as proposed by lessees 
or designees and approved by ONRR, after consulting with the affected 
State(s). The regulations require ONRR to publish no later than 30 days 
before the beginning of the calendar year a list of the States and 
their decisions regarding marginal property relief.
    To qualify for the first relief option (notification-based relief) 
for calendar year 2019, properties must produce less than 1,000 
barrels-of-oil-equivalent (BOE) per year for the base period (July 1, 
2017 through June 30, 2018). Annual reporting relief will begin January 
1, 2019, with the annual report and

payment due February 28, 2020, or March 31, 2020 if you have an 
estimated payment on file. To qualify for the second relief option 
(other requested relief), the combined equivalent production of the 
marginal properties during the base period must equal an average daily 
well production of less than 15 BOE per well, per day calculated under 
30 CFR 1204.4(c).

properties and the States' decisions to allow one or both forms of
