Abstract: The Secretary of the United
States Department of the Interior is
responsible for mineral resource
development on Federal and Indian
lands and the Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS). Under various laws, the
Secretary’s responsibility is to carry out
a comprehensive inspection, collection,
and fiscal and production accounting
and auditing system that provides the
capability to: (1) Accurately determine
mineral royalties, interest, and other
payments owed, (2) collect and account
for such amounts in a timely manner,
and (3) disburse the funds collected.
The Secretary also has a trust
responsibility to seek advice and
information from Indian beneficiaries.
ONRR performs the minerals revenue
management functions for the Secretary
and assists the Secretary in carrying out
the Department’s trust responsibility for
Indian lands.
The laws pertaining to mineral leases
on Federal and Indian lands and the
OCS are posted at https://www.onrr.gov/
Laws_R_D/PubLaws/default.htm.
(a) General Information: 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
royalty share in value or volume of
production from the leased lands. The
lessee also agrees to report certain
information to the lessor related to the
disposition of the minerals. This
information is generally available
within a lessee’s records or others
involved in developing, transporting,
processing, purchasing, or selling
Federal and Indian minerals. The
information collected includes data
necessary to ensure correct product
valuation and royalty payments.
(b) Information Collections: This ICR
covers unique reporting circumstances
under 30 CFR part 1218 addressing (1)
cross-lease netting in the calculation of
late-payment interest; (2) a lessee’s
designation of designee; and (3) Tribal
permission for recoupment on Indian oil
and gas leases.
(1) Cross-Lease Netting in Calculation
of Late-Payment Interest: Regulations
under § 1218.54 require ONRR to assess
interest on unpaid or underpaid
amounts. ONRR distributes latepayment interest revenues to States,
Indian Tribes, and the U.S. Treasury

based on financial lease distribution
information. Current regulations under
§ 1218.42 provide that an overpayment
on a lease or leases may be offset against
an underpayment on a different lease or
leases to determine the net payment
subject to interest when certain
conditions are met. ONRR calls this
process cross-lease netting. The payor
must demonstrate that a cross-lease
netting exception exists by submitting
production reports, pipeline allocation
reports, or other similar documentary
evidence. This information is necessary
for ONRR to calculate the correct
interest amount and ensure that it
collects in full all monies owed to the
Federal Government.
(2) Designation of Designee: The
Federal Oil and Gas Royalty
Management Act (FOGRMA) defines a
‘‘lessee’’ to include the record-title
holder and also any operating-rights
owners if those rights were severed from
the record title. See 30 U.S.C. 1702(7).
FOGRMA states that operating-rights
owners are primarily liable and recordtitle owners are secondarily liable for
payment obligations on Federal oil and
gas leases. See 30 U.S.C. 1712(a). A
lessee may designate a person to make
payments on its behalf. To do so,
FOGRMA requires the lessee to ‘‘notify
the Secretary . . . in writing of such
designation.’’ ONRR created form
ONRR–4425, Designation Form for
Royalty Payment Responsibility, to
request the information necessary for a
lessee to comply with FOGRMA’s
requirement to designate a designee.
ONRR requires this information to
ensure proper mineral revenue
collection.
(3) Tribal Permission for Recoupment
on Indian Oil and Gas Leases: A lessee
may recoup overpayments on Tribal
Indian leases against royalties or other
revenues owed in a month on other
leases where that Tribe is the lessor. To
do so, lessees must comply with
§ 12l8.53(b), which requires a lessee to
receive a Tribe’s written permission to
recoup overpayments on one lease
against another lease where that Tribe is
the lessor. The payor must provide
ONRR with a copy of the Tribe’s written
permission.
