Abstract: The Secretary of the United
States Department of the Interior is
responsible for collecting royalties from
lessees who produce minerals from
Federal and Indian lands and the OuterContinental Shelf (OCS). Under various
laws, the Secretary is responsible to
manage mineral resources from Federal
and Indian lands and the OCS. One of
the mineral responsibilities that ONRR
performs on behalf of the Secretary is to
collect the royalties and other mineral
revenues due, which obligations are
accounted for as accounts receivables
with ONRR’s Financial Management
group. 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/PubLaws/
default.htm.
General Information
When a company or an individual
enters into a lease to explore, develop,
produce, and dispose of minerals from
Federal and Indian lands and the OCS,
that company or individual agrees to
pay the lessor a share in an amount or
value of production from the leased
lands. For oil, gas, and solid minerals,
the lessee is required to report various
types of information to ONRR relative to
the disposition of the leased minerals.
Specifically, companies submit
financial information to ONRR on a
monthly basis by submitting form
ONRR–2014 [Report of Sales and
Royalty Remittance for oil and gas
reported in OMB Control Number 1012–
0004], and form ONRR–4430 [Solid
Minerals Production and Royalty Report
reported in OMB Control Number 1012–

daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES

0010]. These royalty reports result in
accounts receivables and capture the
vast majority of the mineral revenue
collected by ONRR.
The basis for the data that companies
submit on forms ONRR–2014 and
ONRR–4430 is generally available
within the records of the lessee or others
involved in developing, transporting,
processing, purchasing, or selling such
minerals. The information that we
collect under the ICR includes data
necessary to ensure that ONRR’s
accounts receivables are accurately
based on the value of the mineral
production, as reported to ONRR on
forms ONRR–2014 and ONRR–4430.
Information Collections
Every year, the Chief Financial Officer
(CFO) under Chief Financial Officers
Act of 1990, the Office of Inspector
General, or its agent (agent), audits the
accounts receivable portions of the
Department’s financial statements,
which are based on ONRR forms ONRR–
2014 and ONRR–4430. Accounts
receivable confirmations are a common
practice in the audit business. Due to a
continuous increase in scrutiny of
financial audits, a third-party
confirmation of the validity of ONRR’s
financial records is necessary.
As part of the CFO audit, the agent
selects a sample of accounts receivable
items based on forms ONRR–2014 and
ONRR–4430, and provides the sample
items to ONRR. ONRR then identifies
the company names and addresses for
the sample items selected and creates
accounts receivable confirmation letters.
In order to meet the CFO requirements,
the letters must be on ONRR letterhead
and the Deputy Director for ONRR, or
his or her designee, must sign the
letters. The letter requests third-party
confirmation responses by a specified
date on whether or not ONRR’s accounts
receivable records agree with royalty
payor records for the following items:
(1) Customer identification; (2) royalty
invoice number; (3) payor assigned
document number; (4) date of ONRR
receipt; (5) original amount the payor
reported; and (6) remaining balance due
to ONRR. The agent mails the letters to
the payors, instructing them to respond
directly to the agent to confirm the
accuracy and validity of selected royalty
receivable items and amounts. In turn,
it is the responsibility of the payors to
verify, research, and analyze the
amounts and balances reported on their
respective forms ONRR–2014 and
ONRR–4430.
OMB Approval
We will request OMB approval to
continue to collect this information. Not

collecting this information would limit
the Secretary’s ability to discharge the
duties of the office, could result in a
violation of the Chief Financial Officers
Act of 1990, and may also result in the
inability to confirm the accuracy of
ONRR’s accounts receivables which are
based on the accurate reporting of forms
ONRR–2014 and ONRR–4430. ONRR
protects the proprietary information
received and does not collect items of a
sensitive nature.
