SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice clarifies the BLM’s position on the use of TMC meters under its oil measurement regulations found at 43 CFR subpart 3174. Although the preamble to the final rule establishing the oil measurement regulations indicated that TMC meters were not authorized, such an interpretation is not necessarily consistent with the plain language of the regulations. Today, the BLM is resolving this inconsistency by adopting an SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00101 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 48759 interpretation of the oil measurement regulations that allows for the use of TMC meters if such use is conducted in accordance with the requirements for a Coriolis measurement system (CMS). This clarification of the BLM’s oil measurement regulations will maintain the efficacy of the regulations in ensuring measurement accuracy and a fair return to the American public. Background: Measurement of oil by TMC meters involves connecting a flexible hose from a truck to the sales valve on an oil storage tank. The seal on the sales valve is then broken, allowing oil to flow from the tank to the truck. As the oil enters the truck, it is measured by a Coriolis meter. When the oil transfer is complete, the sales valve at the tank is sealed and the hose is walked-back to the truck, which forces the last of the oil through the meter. Oil measurement from Federal and Indian mineral leases was governed by BLM’s Onshore Order No. 4 (54 FR 8086 (Feb. 24, 1989)) from 1989 to January 2017. TMC meters were not an authorized method of measurement under Onshore Order No. 4. However, at least one BLM Field Office (North Dakota) issued variances to allow for the use of TMC meters beginning in July 2004. A November 2008 BLM Instruction Memorandum (IM) explained that, although ‘‘the use of truck mounted meters for measuring oil from tanks in lieu of tank gauging is a Best Management Practice (BMP) for oil measurement,’’ TMC meters ‘‘must be proven to be at least as accurate as the standards set in (Onshore Order 4)’’ before an exception from Onshore Order No. 4 can be issued.1 Prompted by external and internal oversight reviews finding many of the BLM’s production measurement and accountability policies to be outdated and inconsistently applied, the BLM promulgated new site security, oil measurement, and gas measurement regulations in November 2016. The new oil measurement regulations were codified as subpart 3174 of a new part 3170 in Title 43 of the Code of Federal Regulations (81 FR 81462 (Nov. 17, 2016)). Under subpart 3174, three methods of oil measurement are authorized: Measurement by tank gauging,2 measurement by a lease automatic custody transfer (LACT) system,3 and measurement by a CMS.4 Section 3174.4 1 IM 2009–027, ‘‘The Feasibility Use of Truck Mounted Meters for Oil Measurement Onshore’’ (Nov. 26, 2008). 2 43 CFR 3174.5, 3174.6. 3 43 CFR 3174.7, 3174.8. 4 43 CFR 3174.9, 3174.10.
