Rulemaking Public Comments

Valuation of Oil from Federal and Indian Leases pdficon1.gif (149 bytes)
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

(60 FR 65610--December 20, 1995)

Summary:  In response to changes in the oil and gas industry and the marketplace, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) is considering amending its regulations regarding the valuation of crude oil produced from or allocated to federal and Indian leases. Most federal and Indian leases provide that the value of production for royalty purposes be determined by the Secretary. This notice is intended to solicit comments on new methodologies to establish the royalty value of oil produced from federal and Indian leases. MMS specifically seeks comments on the use of crude oil posted prices as a means to value oil not sold under arm’s-length conditions, and the meaning and application of the term ‘‘significant quantities’’.
