FORM MMS-4293 – GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
COAL TRANSPORTATION ALLOWANCE REPORT

In accordance with 30 CFR §§ 206.460 and 206.461, you may deduct from your royalty payments a
portion of the reasonable, actual cost of transporting coal from an Indian lease to a distant sales
point or to a wash plant remote from the lease. You calculate the allowance on a per ton of clean
coal basis, and may not claim an allowance for reject material on which no royalty is due. You are
required to report to the Minerals Management Service (MMS) on an annual or, if necessary, more
frequent basis. For example, under arm’s length transportation contracts, you must submit the
Form MMS-4293 as frequently as necessary to reflect contract modifications or amendments.
At the end of each reporting period, you must report on page 1 of Form MMS-4293 the actual costs
deducted during the prior reporting period and the estimated transportation costs to be deducted
during the current reporting period. The Schedules for Form MMS-4293 will assist you in
assembling the various transportation cost items, computing the total costs, calculating the cost perton, and computing the total actual and projected allowance amounts. Report and claim allowances
on the Form MMS 4430, Production and Royalty Report, in the allowance section of the form.
You may claim as a transportation allowance the actual transportation costs incurred under arm’s
length contracts. The transportation allowance amount incurred under non-arm’s length contracts
or no contracts equals the actual, allowable operating costs plus depreciation plus a return on the
remaining undepreciated capital investment.
Determine the transportation allowance rate by dividing the total dollar amount by:
- Tons shipped (raw coal/no washing)
- Clean tons of coal, as measured at the coal transportation facility (coal shipped from the
mine to the wash plant)
- Clean tons of coal (coal shipped from the wash plant to the buyer)
Do not take a transportation allowance for any movement of coal in and around the mine area.
Haulage recognized as necessary to normal day-to-day operations to the mine do not qualify for
transportation allowances, including haulage from the pit or underground operation to a loadout
facility, grizzly, or crusher. Do not take an allowance if the transportation segment is prior to the
first point where production can reasonably be marketed.
If you commingle Indian coal with production from other leases and transport it to a remote site,
you must uniformly apply the transportation cost for moving that production to all the transported
tonnage, regardless of the ownership status of the leases from which the coal was produced. This
concept is applied in Form MMS-4293, as you are required to compute the transportation allowance
using the total tons transported and the total costs incurred.
Page 1 of Form MMS-4293 lists royalty allowance amounts claimed during the prior reporting
period and estimates of the royalty allowance amount for the new reporting period. Use a separate
page 1 for each mine.

Schedule 1 accumulates transportation segment costs and computes the royalty allowance rate and
amount for a transportation facility. (A transportation segment is a mode of transportation from one
point to another; e.g., truck, rail, barge. A transportation facility consists of one or more segments
from the mine to the ultimate destination.) Use a separate schedule 1 for each transportation facility
over which coal is transported. In other words, complete a separate Schedule 1 for each line
reported on page 1 of the form MMS-4293.
Schedule 1A summarizes all costs associated with transportation that are not due to capitalized
costs. (Enter all costs except depreciation and the return on investment.) Use this schedule only
when the transportation segments are non-arm’s length or there is no contract.
Supplemental Schedule 1A details operating, maintenance, and overhead costs that could not be
shown on Schedule 1A because of limited space.
Schedule 1B summarizes depreciation and undepreciated investment capital costs for a non-arm’s
length or no contract transportation segment. Enter all depreciation and the return on investment on
this schedule. Submit a separate schedule 1B for each segment of the transportation facility.

allowance reported in column 10. If this is your first report for this mine and lease combination,
you will not complete column 10 and the reporting period will be the timeframe covered by the
estimated data reported in column 11.
The reporting period is controlled by the arm’s length/customer owned indicator in column 9.
If you entered a “4” or “5” in column 9:
• Your initial reporting period will begin with the month your were first authorized to
deduct the transportation allowance and will end at the end of the calendar year or when
the transportation terminates, whichever is earlier.
•

Your subsequent reporting periods will begin the first day of the calendar year and end
the last day of the calendar year or when the transportation terminates, whichever is
earlier.

If you entered a “6” in column 9:
• Your initial reporting period will begin with the month you were first authorized to
deduct the transportation allowance and will end at the end of the calendar year or when
the contract or rate terminates, is modified or amended, whichever is earlier.
•

Your subsequent reporting periods will begin the first day after the period covered by
the previous Form MMS-4293 and end the last day of the calendar year or when the
contract or rate terminates, is modified or amended, whichever is earlier.

• “4” if you incur 100% of the transportation costs under non-arm’s length conditions
• “5” if transportation costs were a combination of arm’s length and non-arm’s length
conditions
• “6” if you incur 100% of the transportation costs under arm’s length conditions
10. Prior Period Actual Data – Use this column to report actual data for the reporting period. If
this is an initial report for start-up, do not complete this column; go to column 11.
Enter in column 10a the sum of the royalty quantity transported and sold during the reporting
period (tonnage and royalty rate used in calculation of Schedule 1, line 14) plus the royalty
quantity sold during the reporting period but transported during the prior reporting period
(tonnage and royalty rate used in calculation of Schedule 1, line 15).
Enter in column 10b the transportation allowance rate determined by dividing the royalty
allowance amount (column 10c) by the royalty quantity (column 10a). Calculate the allowance
rate to six decimal places.
Enter in column 10c the royalty allowance amount shown on Schedule 1, line 16.
11. Current Period Estimated Data – Use column 11 to report estimated data for the current
reporting period.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING FORM MMS-4293, SCHEDULE 1A
Use Schedule 1A to record reasonable, actual operating, maintenance, and overhead costs for a
transportation segment for the prior reporting period. You must complete a separate Schedule 1A
for each segment in the transportation facility. Accumulate the costs for all transportation facility
segments to determine the total operating costs for the facility. On the following page of
instructions is a list of allowable and nonallowable costs to use as a guide in determining operating,
maintenance, and overhead costs. You must use this schedule only when the transportation
segments are non-arm’s length, either because your affiliate is performing the service or you are
transporting the coal yourself.
Customer Information Block – Enter the same customer name and code as used on page 1 of the
Form MMS-4293, Coal Transportation Allowance Report.
Enter the same lease number and mine name as used on page 1 of the Form MMS-4293.
Enter a transportation name or facility number unique to the transportation facility.
Enter the transportation segment name or identification number unique to the transportation
segment. (For a transportation facility consisting of only one segment, the segment name or

Part D, Total Operating and Maintenance Costs – Sum lines 8, 13, and 17.

ALLOWABLE AND NONALLOWABLE
OPERATING, MAINTENANCE, AND CAPITAL COSTS
Allowable Capital Costs – Allowable capital costs are generally those costs for depreciable fixed
assets (including costs of delivery and installation of capital equipment) which are an integral part
of the transportation system. The following capital items are generally considered allowable:
garages and warehouses, rail haulage equipment including rail spurs, trucks, and roads.
Nonallowable Capital Costs – Nonallowable capital costs include costs incidental to marketing
(e.g., storage and treatment). Also, schools, hospitals, roads, sewer and other capital improvements
or equipment not an integral part of the transportation facility are not allowable capital costs. The
capital cost associated with the preparation of an environmental impact statement is not allowable.
However, capital costs for environmental equipment that are an integral part of the transportation
facility are allowable.
Allowable Operating Costs – Allowable operating and maintenance costs are those nondepreciable
costs that are directly attributable to the operation and maintenance of a transportation
facility/segment. These expenditures include:
• Salaries and wages paid to employees and supervisors while engaged in the operation
and maintenance of equipment and facilities
• Fuel and utility costs directly related to transporting lease products
• Chemicals aiding in the transportation of the coal
• Repairs, labor, materials, and supplies directly related to transportation equipment and
facilities
• Port and toll fees, insurance and ad valorem property taxes (Federal and State income
taxes are not allowable deductions)
• Arm’s length rental, leasing, or contract service costs for equipment, facilities, on-site
location or maintenance of equipment and facilities
• General administrative overhead costs (headquarters, personnel, telephone service,
payroll taxes, employee benefits, vehicle expenses, office supplies, etc.). The total of
these costs is limited to those reasonable expenditures directly attributable and allocable
to the operation and maintenance of the transportation equipment and facilities.
Nonallowable Operating Costs – Nonallowable operating costs include:
• Costs incidental to marketing, and other operating costs associated with nonallowable
capital expenditures which are not directly allocable or attributable to the transportation
of lease products.
• Federal and State income taxes, production taxes, royalty payments, or fees such as State
severance taxes
• Costs for services that you are obligated to perform at no cost to the lessor.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING FORM MMS-4293, SCHEDULE 1B
Use Schedule 1B to summarize actual or estimated facility/segment depreciation and undepreciated
capital investment for computing return on investment for each non-arm’s length or no-contract
transportation segment. These costs are capital equipment that is an integral part of the
transportation system and may include, for example, trucks, rail cars, or locomotives. You must
complete a separate Schedule 1B for each segment in the transportation facility. The costs of all
transportation facility segments are accumulated on Schedule 1 to determine the total depreciation
and undepreciated capital investment for the facility. You must use this schedule only when the
transportation segments are non-arm’s length, either because your affiliate is performing the service
or you are transporting the coal yourself.
Complete the customer identification block (see Schedule 1A instructions).
Complete a line for each facility/segment capital expenditure item as follows:
1. Expenditure Item -- Identify the capital expenditure item. List all major equipment exceeding
$50,000 in initialized capitalized value individually.
2. Initial Capital Investment and Date Placed in Service – Enter the initial capital expenditure
amount and the date the expenditure was placed in service.
3. Salvage Value – Enter a reasonable salvage value.
4. Depreciable Life/Years of Depreciation Taken to Date -- Enter the depreciable life of the
expenditure and the number of years of depreciation taken to date.
5. Beginning-of-Year Undepreciated Capital Investment – Enter the undepreciated capital
investment at beginning-of-year. In computing this value, deduct salvage from the initial
capital investment.
6. Depreciation – Enter the amount of depreciation to be taken for the year. In computing
depreciation, you may elect to use either a straight-line depreciation method or a unit of
production method based on the life of the equipment or the life of the reserves which the
transportation facility/segment services. Once you make an election, you may not alternate
methods without MMS approval. Do not depreciate equipment below a reasonable salvage
value.
7. End-of-Year Undepreciated Capital Investment – Enter the undepreciated capital investment at
end-of-year. Compute this by subtracting depreciation from the beginning-of-year
undepreciated capital investment. Also use this amount as the next year’s beginning-of-year
undepreciated capital investment.
8. Totals – Sum columns 5 and 6 and enter on Schedule 1, Part A, columns g and e, or Part B,
columns g and e, accordingly.
