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

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether 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

identifying information from public
review, ONRR cannot guarantee that it
will be able to do so.
(a) Abstract—General Information:
The Federal Oil and Gas Royalty
Management Act of 1982 (‘‘FOGRMA’’)
directs the Secretary of the Interior
(‘‘Secretary’’) to ‘‘establish a
comprehensive inspection, collection
and fiscal and production accounting
and auditing system to provide the
capability to accurately determine oil
and gas royalties, interest, fines,
penalties, fees, deposits, and other
payments owed, and to collect and
account for such amounts in a timely
manner.’’ See 30 U.S.C. 1711. ONRR
performs these and other mineral
revenue management responsibilities for

the Secretary. See U.S. Department of
the Interior Departmental Manual, 112
DM 34.1 (Sept. 9, 2020).
Through this ICR, ONRR seeks
continuing authority to collect
information necessary to perform its
delegated mineral revenue management
responsibilities for Net Profit Share
Leases (‘‘NPSLs’’). The NPSLs are OCS
leases that provide for the payment to
the United States of a percentage of the
net profits from oil and gas production.
See 30 CFR part 1220. The requirement
to report the collected information
accurately and timely is mandatory.
(b) Information Collections: Title 30
CFR part 1220 requires an NPSL lessee
to maintain and provide the following
categories of information.
(1) NPSL Capital Accounts and
Reports: Sections 1220.010 and
1220.021 require the lessee to establish
and maintain a capital account for each
NPSL. These sections require the lessee
to credit the capital account with all
production revenues attributable to the
NPSL and any other credits arising from
NPSL activities. The sections also
require the lessee to debit the account
with all allowable direct and allocable
joint costs incurred during the term of
the lease, appropriate overhead
allowances, and allowances for capital
recovery.
Section 1220.031(a) requires the
lessee to file annual reports with ONRR
regarding the costs incurred until
production revenues are credited to the
capital account. Once production
revenues are credited to the account,
§ 1220.031(b) requires the lessee to file
monthly reports with ONRR. That
section requires the monthly reports to
include the volume and disposition of
all oil and gas production saved,
removed, or sold, the production
revenue, the amount and description of
all costs and credits to the NPSL capital
account, the balance of the NPSL capital
account, the net profit share base and
net profit share payment due the United
States, and the monthly profit share of
the lessee. Section 1220.031(e) requires
the lessee to file a final report with
ONRR upon cessation of production
indicating the remaining balance and
costs and credits to the NPSL capital
account.
(2) NPSL Inventories: Section
1220.032(a) and (b) require the lessee to
take inventories of NPSL equipment,
apparatus, and supplies at reasonable
intervals not to exceed three years.
Section 1220.032(b) requires the lessee
to notify BOEM of its intent to take
inventory so that BOEM’s Director may
be represented at the inventory taking.
Section 1220.032(d) requires the lessee
to reconcile the physical inventory with

the NPSL capital account and to make
a list of overages and shortages available
to the BOEM Director for audit. Section
1220.031(d) requires the lessee to file an
inventory report following the inventory
taking.
(3) NPSL Records and Audits: Section
1220.030(a) requires an NPSL lessee to
establish and maintain certain records
related to the NPSL. Section 1220.033(e)
authorizes ONRR to inspect these
records during normal business hours
upon request. Section 1220.033(a)
authorizes ONRR to audit accounts of
the NPSL lessee or its contractor related
to NPSL operations. Where possible,
§ 1220.033(a) requires ONRR to
coordinate its audit with audit efforts of
other nonoperators, if any. Section
1220.033(b)(1) requires nonoperators of
the NPSL lease to notify ONRR of an
audit call so that it may elect to send an
auditor with the nonoperator’s audit
team in lieu of a separate audit call.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 1220,
OCS Net Profit Share Payment
Reporting.
OMB Control Number: 1012–0009.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Businesses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 9 lessees.
All nine lessees report monthly
because all current NPSLs are in
producing status. ONRR estimates that
these lessees will file a total of 180
monthly reports annually. ONRR
excluded estimates of certain
requirements performed in the normal
course of business that are considered
usual and customary.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 180.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,584 hours.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 9 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Frequency of Collection: Monthly,
annually, and on occasion.
Estimated Annual Non-hour Cost
Burden: ONRR has identified no ‘‘nonhour’’ cost burden associated with the
collection of information.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authority for this action is the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.).
Howard Cantor,
Acting Director, Office of Natural Resources
Revenue.
