Indian Tribes and individual Indian mineral owners receive all royalties generated from their lands. Determining product valuation is essential to ensure that Indian Tribes and individual Indian mineral owners receive royalty payment on the full value of the minerals removed from their lands. In order for ONRR to determine whether lessees paid proper royalties on minerals produced from Indian leases, we must collect information to verify transportation and processing allowable deductions.

The current OMB-approved inventory is 2,269 annual burden hours. Our current estimate of the burden hours is 1,299 resulting in a total adjustment decrease of â970 hours. We analyzed our current data and found that there is a program change, for this ICR, resulting in an adjustment decrease of â10 hours [this adjustment is based on the removal of paragraph (c) of 30 CFR 1206.57 because ONRR does not require the lessees to submit an initial form ONRR-4110]. There is also an adjustment decrease of â960 hours based on historical data, for a total adjustment decrease of â970 hours.
