Download as PDF jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 43 / Monday, March 8, 2021 / Notices development on Federal and Indian lands and the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Under various laws, the Secretary’s responsibilities include maintaining 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. ONRR performs these mineral revenue management functions for the Secretary. Laws pertaining to mineral leases on Federal and Indian lands are posted at https://www.onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/ PubLaws/default.htm. (a) General Information: ONRR collects, audits, and disburses royalties, interest, and other payments owed by lessees on minerals produced from Federal and Indian lands. If a lessee overpays the amount due on minerals produced from Federal lands, it may request a refund from ONRR. If a lessee overpays the amount due on minerals produced from tribal lands, it may, with the tribe’s permission, recoup the overpayment against other royalties or other revenues owed in that month under other leases for which that tribe is the lessor. If a lessee fails to pay or underpays an amount it owes on Federal or Indian mineral production, it generally must pay interest on the underpayment from the date the payment was due. For royalties and other amounts owed on oil and gas produced from Federal lands, the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act (FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) permits a lessee to designate a designee for its payment obligations. (b) Information Collections: This ICR covers certain information required pursuant to FOGRMA and 30 CFR 1218 for (1) cross-lease netting in the calculation of late-payment interest; (2) a lessee’s designation of designee for payment obligations; (3) tribal permission for recoupment on Indian oil and gas leases; and (4) refund requests for overpayments made to ONRR. (1) Cross-Lease Netting in the Calculation of Late-Payment Interest: Pursuant to 30 CFR 1218.42(b), if certain conditions are met, ‘‘[r]oyalties attributed to production from a lease or leases which should have been attributed to production from a different lease or leases may be offset to determine whether and to what extent an underpayment exists on which interest is due . . . .’’ ONRR calls this process cross-lease netting. To determine whether a lessee is entitled to VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:05 Mar 05, 2021 Jkt 253001 cross-lease netting, ONRR must collect lease, production, payor, recipient, and other information specified in 30 CFR 1218.42(b). This information is necessary for ONRR to calculate the correct interest amount. (2) Designation of Designee for Payment Obligations: FOGRMA allows a lessee to notify the Secretary in writing of its designation of ‘‘a person to make all or part of the payments due under a lease on the lessee’s behalf . . . in which event said designated person may, in its own name, pay, offset or credit monies, make adjustments, request and receive refunds and submit reports with respect to payments required by the lessee.’’ See 30 U.S.C. 1712(a). ONRR created form ONRR– 4425, Designation Form for Royalty Payment Responsibility, for lessees to notify it of such designation. ONRR requires the information required in this form to ensure proper mineral revenue collection. (3) Tribal Permission for Recoupment on Indian Oil and Gas Leases: Pursuant to 30 CFR 1218.53(b), a payor may, with written permission authorized by tribal statute or resolution, recoup an overpayment against royalties or other revenues owed under other leases for which that tribe is the lessor. See 30 CFR 1218.53(b). The payor must provide ONRR with a copy of the tribe’s written permission. Id. (4) Processing Refund Requests: FORGMA authorizes a Federal oil and gas lessee to request a refund for an overpayment in certain situations. See 30 U.S.C. 1721a(b). The lessee must supply information to support its refund request. Id. ONRR collects banking information from the refund recipient in order to disburse the overpaid amount to the correct account. Title: Collection of Monies Due to the Federal Government; and Processing Refund Requests Related to Overpayments Made to ONRR. OMB Control Number: 1012–0008. Bureau Form Number: Form ONRR– 4425. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Federal and Indian lessees. Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 170.
