This paperwork
is approved for one year so that MMS can determine how this
information can be extracted from Royalty Management data.
Specifically, could MMS eliminate this form and coordinate with
Royalty Management to receive their data? If not, could MMS require
this data semiannually and use the Royalty Management data to fill
in the gaps? Similar questions were asked in the last clearance
package, however, MMS did not answer them.
