ACTION: Notice of RIK Eligible Refiner
Program Continuation and Sale.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: On behalf of the Secretary of
the Interior (Secretary), the Minerals
Management Service (MMS) has made a
determination that sufficient need exists
among eligible refining companies to
justify taking royalty oil in kind and
offering this oil for sale to eligible
refiners. As a result of this
determination, a sale of Federal royalty
oil for eligible refiners will be held the
end of July 2008. Regarding this sale of
Federal royalty oil, please reference the
RIK Invitation for Offer, which is
located at http://www.mrm.mms.gov/
RIKweb/SmallRefiners.htm.
DATES: The sale will be held on August
5–6, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT:
Colin Bosworth, at (303) 231–3186, FAX

[email protected].

The MMS
published a notice in the Federal
Register on January 16, 2008 (73 FR
2938) seeking comments on eligible
refiners’ experience in gaining access to
adequate supplies of crude oil at
equitable prices. The MMS received
comments from five eligible refiners and
one major oil company. Three of the
small refiners responded that there was
a need to continue the RIK eligible
refiner crude oil program.
Under 30 CFR 208.4(a), the Secretary
determines whether eligible refiners
have access to adequate supplies of
crude oil at equitable prices.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 147 / Wednesday, July 30, 2008 / Notices

On behalf of the Secretary, the MMS,
based on its analysis, has decided at this
time to continue the sale of royalty
crude oil to eligible refiners. The
MMM’s determination is based on the
fact that eligible refiners have expressed
real concerns about the lack of stable
access to the marketplace and the
significant volatility of oil prices.
Eligible refiners also continue to play a
prominent role in providing jet fuel to
the U.S. Department of Defense, which
makes the eligible refiner oil program an
important contributor to national
security.
