Request to Exceed Regulatory Allowance Limitation
Form ONRR-4393
General Instructions
The Form ONRR-4393 is used by the reporter to ensure that ONRR receives the lease data required to
make a decision on the request to exceed the regulatory allowance limitations by including the lease
number, the agreement number (if applicable), the product code, and the sales type code for the product
being processed or transported.
Transportation Allowance
In accordance with 30 CFR 1206.109 for Federal oil, §1206.156 for Federal gas, §1206.56 for Indian oil,
and §1206.177 for Indian gas, your transportation allowance deduction at the sales type code level may
not exceed 50 percent of the value of the oil, unprocessed gas, residue gas or gas plant product. Upon
request of a lessee, ONRR may approve a transportation allowance deduction in excess of the limitations.
To receive this approval, the lessee must demonstrate that the transportation costs incurred in excess of
the limitations were reasonable, actual, and necessary. Under no circumstances may an allowance reduce
the value for royalty purposes under any individual contractual arrangement to zero. An application for
exception (using Form ONRR-4393, Request to Exceed Regulatory Allowance Limitation) must contain
all relevant and supporting documentation necessary for ONRR to make a determination.
Processing Allowance
In accordance with §1206.158 for Federal gas, the processing allowance deduction on the basis of an
individual contractual arrangement may not exceed 66 2/3 percent of the value of each gas plant product,
(such a value to be reduced first for any transportation allowances related to postprocessing transportation
authorized by §206.156). Upon request of a lessee, ONRR may approve a processing allowance in excess
of the regulatory allowance limitation. The lessee must demonstrate that the processing costs incurred in
excess of the regulatory allowance limitation were reasonable, actual and necessary. An application for
exception (using Form ONRR-4393, Request to Exceed Regulatory Allowance Limitation) must contain
all relevant and supporting documentation necessary for ONRR to make a determination. Please note that
lessee’s on Indian lands are not allowed to exceed the regulatory processing allowance limit of 66 2/3
percent.

Request to Exceed Regulatory Allowance Limitation
Form ONRR-4393
Line-by-Line Instructions
1. For ONRR use only.
2. Enter the payor code used to report royalties and allowance deductions on Form ONRR-2014.
3. Enter the reporting period “From” and “To” dates in which the allowance reported on the Form
ONRR-2014 may exceed the regulatory allowance limitations. Note: If the lessee anticipates
exceeding the regulatory limit for only certain months of the year, the lessee may submit a
request with reporting period that cover the entire year. The reporting period will begin the first
day of the calendar year or when the transportation or processing contract begins, is modified or
amended, and will end the last day of the calendar year or when the transportation or processing
contract or rate terminates, is modified or amended whichever is earlier.
4. Circle the type of allowance for which you are requesting an exception to the regulatory
limitations. Note: Only one type of allowance may be circled per form. Therefore, if the lessee
is requesting to exceed the 50 percent regulatory allowance limitation for gas transportation and
also requesting to exceed the 66 2/3 percent regulatory allowance limitation for Federal gas
processing then the lessee must submit two separate Forms ONRR-4393.
