SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 to 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.
ONRR published a notice, with a 60day public comment period, soliciting

personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your

Abstract: (a) General Information: The
Secretary of the Interior (‘‘Secretary’’) is
responsible for mineral resource
development on Federal and Indian
lands and the U.S. Outer Continental
Shelf. Laws pertaining to Federal and
Indian mineral leases are posted at
https://onrr.gov/references/statutes.
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 royalty and
revenue management responsibilities for
the Secretary. See Secretary’s Order No.
3306.
The information collections that
ONRR covers in this ICR are found at 30
CFR part 1202, subparts C and J, which
pertain to Indian oil and gas royalties;
part 1206, subparts B and E, which
govern the valuation of oil and gas
produced from leases on Indian lands;
and part 1207, which pertains to
recordkeeping. Indian Tribes and
allottees receive all royalties generated
from their lands. Determining product
valuation is essential to ensure that
Indian Tribes and allottees receive
payment on the full value of the
minerals removed from their lands.
(b) Information Collections: This ICR
covers the paperwork requirements
under 30 CFR parts 1202, 1206, and
1207 as follows:
(1) Indian Oil—Regulations at 30 CFR
part 1206, subpart B, govern the

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001

valuation for royalty purposes of oil
produced from Indian oil and gas leases
(Tribal and allotted). These regulations
require a lessee to file form ONRR–4110,
Oil Transportation Allowance Report,
when its oil transportation allowance
includes costs incurred under nonarm’s-length or no-contract
transportation situations. ONRR and
Tribal audit personnel use the
information collected on this form to
help verify that the lessee correctly
reported its transportation allowance
within regulatory allowance limitations
and reported and paid the correct
amount of royalties.
(2) Indian Gas—Regulations at 30 CFR
part 1206, subpart E, govern the
valuation for royalty purposes of natural
gas produced from Indian oil and gas
leases (Tribal and allotted). These
regulations require reporting on ONRR
forms 4109, 4295, 4410, and 4411 as
follows:
(a) A lessee must file form ONRR–
4109, Gas Processing Allowance Report,
when its processing allowance includes
costs incurred under non-arm’s-length
or no-contract processing situations.
ONRR and Tribal audit personnel use
the information collected on this form to
verify that the lessee correctly reported
its processing allowance within
regulatory allowance limitations and
reported and paid the correct amount of
royalties.
(b) A lessee must file form ONRR–
4295, Gas Transportation Allowance
Report, when its gas transportation
allowance includes costs incurred under
non-arm’s-length or no-contract
transportation situations. ONRR and
Tribal audit personnel use the
information collected on this form to
verify that a lessee correctly reported its
transportation allowance within
regulatory allowance limitations and
reported and paid the correct amount of
royalties.
(c) A lessee for an Indian oil and gas
lease must file form ONRR–4410,
Accounting for Comparison [Dual
Accounting] to certify when dual
accounting is not required (part A) or to
make an election for actual dual
accounting as defined in 30 CFR
1206.176 or alternative dual accounting
as defined in 30 CFR 1206.173 when
dual accounting is required (part B).
(d) A lessee uses form ONRR–4411,
Safety Net Report, when it sells gas
production from an Indian oil or gas
lease in an ONRR-designated index zone
beyond the first index pricing point.
The safety net calculation establishes
the minimum value, for royalty
purposes, of natural gas production
from Indian oil and gas leases. This
reporting helps ensure that Indian

lessors receive all royalties due and aids
ONRR’s compliance efforts.
(3) Indian Oil and Gas—Regulations
at 30 CFR 1206.56(b)(2) and
1206.177(c)(2) and (c)(3) provide that a
lessee must submit form ONRR–4393,
Request to Exceed Regulatory
Allowance Limitation, as part of a valid
request to exceed the regulatory
allowance limit of 50 percent of royalty
value for transportation allowances.
OMB approved the form ONRR–4393
under OMB Control Number 1012–0005,
which otherwise pertains to Federal oil
and gas leases. This form provides
ONRR with the necessary data to make
a decision on whether to approve or
deny the request.
The requirement to report is
mandatory for form ONRR–4410 and,
under certain circumstances, form
ONRR–4411. To obtain certain benefits,
a lessee must file forms ONRR–4109,
ONRR–4110, ONRR–4295, and ONRR–
4393.
