Abstract: ONRR uses 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. Our integrated financial accounting system compares royalty (form ONRR-2014) and production volumes (forms ONRR-4054 and ONRR-4058) to verify that proper royalties are received for the minerals produced.

Short Statement: The current OMB-approved inventory is 337,933 annual burden hours. Our current estimate of the burden hours is 420,241, resulting in a total adjustment increase of +82,308 hours. We analyzed our current data and found an increase in the time that industry takes to complete the requirements for forms ONRR-2014 and ONRR-4054. We also found a decrease in the burden hour estimates for industry to complete form ONRR-4058. Based on industry’s established historical compliance data and our regular ongoing contact and interaction with companies to resolve questions as they arise, there is an adjustment change for a total adjustment increase of +82,308 hours and an increased burden change of +2,369,178 responses. We identified no “non-hour” cost burdens for this collection of information. This is a change from the currently approved collection which indicates a non-hour cost burden of $7,200 per respondent, with an annualized cost of $9,288,000. We removed the "Non-Hour Cost Burden" here because the estimated $9,288,000 burden was a one-time cost due to a regulation change promulgated in the Indian Oil Valuation Amendments final rulemaking [published May 1, 2015, 80 FR 24794–24814]. The regulations are codified in 30 CFR 1206.50 et seq. This $9,288,000 represented costs companies incurred to implement system changes and to setup accounting systems to comply with the revised Indian oil valuation regulations. Specifically, the 2015 amended regulations now require Indian lessees to report crude oil types using new product codes on forms ONRR-2014 and ONRR-4054, for their automated reporting. This information is necessary for ONRR to calculate the index-based major portion prices Indian lessees must use to value oil for royalty purposes. Indian lessees should have incurred these one-time costs prior to the July 1, 2015 effective date of rule, and no additional costs to implement the 2015 rule is expected.
