Pursuant
to the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq., and
5 CFR 1320.5, all information
collections as defined in 5 CFR 1320.3,
require approval by OMB. ONRR may
not conduct or sponsor, and you are not
required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
As part of ONRR’s continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, ONRR is inviting the public
and other Federal agencies to comment
on new, proposed, revised, and
continuing collections of information in
accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1). This helps ONRR assess
the impact of its information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand ONRR’s information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
ONRR is especially interested in
public comments addressing the
following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of ONRR’s estimate
of the burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and

(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. ONRR will include or
summarize each comment in its request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask ONRR in your
comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public
review, ONRR cannot guarantee that it
will be able to do so.
Abstract: The Secretary of the United
States Department of the Interior
(‘‘Secretary’’) is responsible for mineral
resource development on Federal and
Indian lands and the Outer Continental
Shelf. Laws pertaining to Federal and
Indian mineral leases are posted at
http://www.onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/
PubLaws/default.htm. Pursuant to the
Federal Oil and Gas Royalty
Management Act of 1982 (‘‘FOGRMA’’)
and other laws, the Secretary’s
responsibilities include maintaining a
comprehensive inspection, collection,
and fiscal and production accounting
and auditing system that: (1) Accurately
determines mineral royalties, interest,
and other payments owed, (2) collects
and accounts for such amounts in a
timely manner, and (3) disburses the
funds collected. See 30 U.S.C. 1701 and
1711. ONRR performs these mineral
revenue management responsibilities for
the Secretary. See Secretarial Order No.
3306.
(a) General Information: ONRR
collects, audits, and disburses royalties,
interest, and other payments owed by
lessees on minerals produced from
Federal and Indian lands. Such
information is generally available
within the records of the lessee of others
involved in the development, transport,
processing, purchase, or sale of such
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–

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 21, 2021 / Notices
0010). These royalty reports result in
accounts receivables and capture most
of the mineral revenues that ONRR
collects.
The basis for the data that a company
submits 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 ONRR
collects under this 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.
(b) Information Collections: Every
year, under the Chief Financial Officers
Act of 1990 (‘‘CFO Act’’), the Office of
Inspector General (‘‘OIG’’) or its agent
audits the accounts receivable portions
of the Department of the Interior’s
financial statements, which includes
accounts receivables 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 CFO Act audits, the OIG or
its 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 Act’s 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 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
OIG or its agent mails the letters to the
payors, instructing them to respond
directly 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.
Title of Collection: Accounts
Receivable Confirmations.
OMB Control Number: 1012–0001.
Form Number: None.
