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
–970 hours. We analyzed our current data and found that there is a
program change, for this ICR, resulting in an adjustment decrease
of –10 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 –960 hours based on historical data, for a total
adjustment decrease of –970 hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
