Abstract: The Secretary of the United
States Department of the Interior is
responsible for mineral resource
development on Federal and Indian
lands and the Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS). The Secretary is required, by
various laws, to manage mineral

PO 00000

resource production from Federal and
Indian lands and the OCS, collect the
royalties and other mineral revenues
due, and distribute the funds collected
under those laws. We have posted those
laws pertaining to mineral leases on
Federal and Indian lands and the OCS
at http://www.onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/
PublicLawsAMR.htm.
The Secretary also has a trust
responsibility to manage Indian lands
and seek advice and information from
Indian beneficiaries. ONRR performs the
minerals revenue management functions
and assists the Secretary in carrying out
the Department’s trust responsibility for
Indian lands.
Effective October 1, 2010, ONRR
reorganized and transferred their
regulations from chapter II to chapter
XII in title 30 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), resulting in a change
to our citations. You can find the
information collections covered in this
ICR at 30 CFR part 1210, subparts B, C,
and D, which pertain to production and
royalty reports; and part 1212, subpart
B, which pertains to recordkeeping of
reports and files. All data reported is
subject to subsequent audit and
adjustment.
General Information
When a company or an individual
enters into a lease to explore, develop,
produce, and dispose of minerals from
Federal or Indian lands, that company
or individual agrees to pay the lessor a
share in an amount or value of
production from the leased lands. The
lessee, or his designee, is required to
report various kinds of information to
the lessor relative to the disposition of
the leased minerals.
The ONRR financial accounting
system is an integrated computer system
that includes royalty, rental, bonus, and
other payments; sales volumes and
values; and royalty values as submitted
by reporters. In the system, ONRR
compares production volumes with
royalty volumes to verify that reporters
reported and paid proper royalties for
the minerals produced. Additionally,
we share the data electronically with the
Bureau of Safety and Environmental
Enforcement, Bureau of Land
Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
and Tribal and State governments so
they can perform their lease
management responsibilities.
We use 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. The
requirement to report accurately and
timely is mandatory. Please refer to the

E:\FR\FM\02APN1.SGM

02APN1

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 63 / Monday, April 2, 2012 / Notices
chart for all reporting requirements and
associated burden hours.
Royalty Reporting
The regulations require payors
(reporters) to report and to remit
royalties on oil, gas, and geothermal
resources produced from leases on
Federal and Indian lands. The following
form is used for royalty reporting:
Form MMS–2014, Report of Sales and
Royalty Remittance. Reporters submit
this form monthly to report royalties on
oil, gas, and geothermal leases, certain
rents, and other lease-related
transactions (e.g., transportation and
processing allowances, lease
adjustments, and quality and location
differentials).
Production Reporting

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

The regulations require operators
(reporters) to submit production reports
if they operate a Federal or Indian
onshore or offshore oil and gas lease, or
federally approved unit or
communitization agreement. The ONRR
financial accounting system tracks
minerals produced from Federal and
Indian lands, from the point of
production to the point of disposition,

VerDate Mar<15>2010

18:36 Mar 30, 2012

Jkt 226001

or royalty determination, and/or point
of sale. The reporters use the following
forms for production accounting and
reporting:
Form MMS–4054, Oil and Gas
Operations Report (OGOR). Reporters
submit this form monthly for all
production reporting for Outer
Continental Shelf, Federal, and Indian
leases. ONRR compares the production
information with sales and royalty data
that reporters submit on Form
MMS–2014 to ensure that the latter
reported and paid the proper royalties
on the oil and gas production to ONRR.
ONRR uses the information from OGOR
parts A, B, and C to track all oil and gas
from the point of production to the
point of first sale, or other disposition.
Form MMS–4058, Production
Allocation Schedule Report (PASR).
Reporters submit this form monthly.
The facility operators manage the
facilities and measurement points where
they commingle the production from an
offshore Federal lease or metering point
with production from other sources
before they measure it for royalty
determination. ONRR uses the data to
determine if the payors reported
reasonable sales.

OMB Approval
We will request OMB approval to
continue to collect this information. If
ONRR does not collect this information,
this would limit the Secretary’s ability
to discharge fiduciary duties and may
also result in loss of royalty payments.
We protect the proprietary information
that it receives and do not collect items
of a sensitive nature. It is mandatory
that the reporters submit Forms
MMS–2014, MMS–4054, and MMS–
4058.
Frequency: Monthly.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: 3,870 oil, gas, and
geothermal reporters.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: 337,933
hours.
We have changed our estimates of the
number of respondents due to updated
data.
We have not included in our
estimates certain requirements
performed in the normal course of
business, considered as usual and
customary. We display the estimated
annual burden hours by CFR section
and paragraph in the following chart.

The PRA also requires agencies to
estimate the total annual reporting
‘‘non-hour cost’’ burden to respondents
or recordkeepers resulting from the
collection of information. If you have
costs to generate, maintain, and disclose
this information, you should comment
and provide your total capital and
startup cost components or annual
operation, maintenance, and purchase

estimate (1) major cost factors, including
system and technology acquisition, (2)
expected useful life of capital
equipment, (3) discount rate(s), and (4)
the period over which you incur costs.
Capital and startup costs include,
among other items, computers and
software that you purchase to prepare
for collecting information and
monitoring, sampling, and testing
equipment, and record storage facilities.
Generally, your estimates should not
include equipment or services
purchased: (i) Before October 1, 1995;
(ii) to comply with requirements not
associated with the information
collection; (iii) for reasons other than to
provide information or keep records for
the Federal Government; or (iv) as part
of customary and usual business, or
private practices.
We will summarize written responses

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—On August 3, 1995, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’)
issued an antidumping duty order on
imports of seamless pipe from Germany
(60 FR 39704). Following the first fiveyear reviews by Commerce and the
Commission, effective July 16, 2001,
Commerce issued a continuation of the
antidumping duty order on imports of
seamless pipe from Germany (66 FR
37004). Following the second five-year
reviews by Commerce and the
Commission, effective May 18, 2007,
Commerce issued a continuation of the
antidumping duty order on imports of
seamless pipe from Germany (72 FR
28026). The Commission is now
conducting a third review to determine
whether revocation of the order would
be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to the
domestic industry within a reasonably
foreseeable time. It will assess the
adequacy of interested party responses
to this notice of institution to determine
whether to conduct a full review or an
expedited review. The Commission’s
determination in any expedited review
will be based on the facts available,
which may include information
provided in response to this notice.
Definitions.—The following
definitions apply to this review:
(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or
kind of merchandise that is within the
scope of the five-year review, as defined
by the Department of Commerce.
(2) The Subject Country in this review
is Germany.
(3) The Domestic Like Product is the
domestically produced product or
products which are like, or in the
absence of like, most similar in
characteristics and uses with, the
Subject Merchandise. In its original
determinations and its full first and
second five-year review determinations,
the Commission found one Domestic
Like Product consisting of seamless
carbon and alloy steel standard, line,
