Abstract: Market value is a basic principle underlying royalty valuation. Therefore, BOEM has developed methods to capture the true market value of crude oil and gas produced from Federal leases, both onshore and offshore. The regulations mandate that companies collect and/or submit information used to value their Federal oil and gas, including transportation and processing regulatory allowance limit information.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a program change increase of 180 hours as a result of consolidating ICR 1010-0090 with ICR1010-0136. After the consolidation is approved by OMB, MRM will discontinue ICR 1010-0090. There is an adjustment decrease of 11,857 hours, which is due to more accurate estimates by MRM program staff of the time it takes industry to complete the requirements. We revised the burden hour estimates based on ongoing contact and interaction with companies to resolve questions as they arise.
