Abstract: The MMS uses the information collected in this ICR to ensure that royalty is appropriately paid, based on accurate production accounting on oil, gas, and geothermal resources produced from Federal and Indian leases. Our integrated financial accounting system compares royalty (Form MMS-2014)and production volumes (Forms MMS-4054 and MMS-4058) to verify that proper royalties are received for the minerals produced.
