facilities has a direct impact on royalty 

reported and paid under 30 CFR 

1206.153, BOEMRE has begun to inspect 

measurement devices at plants and 

separation facilities that process 

production from Federal leases in the 

Gulf of Mexico Region for compliance 

with established standards governing 

gas and liquid hydrocarbon production 

measurement. We have recently 

completed the first phase of our 

inspection program and will share our 

findings with the operators of the 

measurement devices at these facilities. 

The findings will also be made available 

upon request to lessees and operators 

who may have interest in one or more 

specific gas plants. In the future, we will 

inspect these facilities again to 

determine if previously observed 

problems have been rectified. 

The BOEMRE recognizes that royalty 

reporting on processed gas volumes at 

the tailgate of an onshore gas plant is a 

prevalent practice in the Gulf of Mexico. 

To better fulfill our statutory duty to 

accurately determine oil and gas 

volumes upon which royalties are 

determined, we issue this notice to 

remind lessees and operators of their 

obligations to ensure accurate 

measurement of processed gas for which 

royalty is reported under 30 CFR 

1206.153. 

The relevant regulations found in 30 

CFR part 250, subpart L, impose 

responsibility for compliance with gas 

measurement rules on lessees, 

operators, and lessees’ representatives, 

including lessees who process natural 

gas extracted from a Federal lease in the 

Gulf of Mexico Region at an onshore gas 

plant, separation facility, or other 

processing facility before paying 

royalties on said gas. To ensure accurate 

measurement of processed gas, lessees 

and operators are responsible for 

working with the operators of gas 

plants, separation facilities, or other 

processing facilities to ensure the 

maintenance, operation, and site 

security in accordance with the 

standards set forth in 30 CFR 250.1202, 

250.1203, and 250.1205, of any 

measurement equipment, irrespective of 

location or ownership, used for the 

measurement of production from 

Federal leases. 

Title 30 CFR 250.1203(e) provides: 

If natural gas from a Federal lease on 

the OCS is transferred to a gas plant 

before royalty determination: 

(1) You must provide the following to 

the Regional Supervisor upon request: 

(i) A copy of the monthly gas 

processing plant allocation statement; 

and 

(ii) Gross heating values of the inlet 

and residue streams when not reported 

on the gas plant statement. 

(2) You must permit BOEMRE to 

inspect the measurement and sampling 

equipment of natural gas processing 

plants that process Federal production. 

Accordingly, you are given notice that 

BOEMRE may request assistance from 

lessees or operators to gain access to any 

gas plant, separation facility, or other 

processing facility which initially 

denies access to BOEMRE inspection 

personnel, for the purpose of: 

• Inspecting the measurement and 

sampling equipment of natural gas 

processing plants that process Federal 

production; 

• Remediating, in a timely manner, 

any observed inconsistency with gas 

measurement and site security 

standards set forth in 30 CFR 250.1202, 

250.1203, and 250.1205; and 

• Maintaining onsite records and 

providing copies, when requested by 

BOEMRE, of monthly allocation 

statements, meter or tank run tickets, 

gas meter volume statements, meter 

proving reports, or other documentation 

related to gas measurement.

Scientific Committee (SC) 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Regulation and 

Enforcement (BOEMRE), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Vacancies and Request 

for Nominations. 

SUMMARY: BOEMRE seeks interested and 

qualified individuals to serve on its OCS 

SC during the period of June 24, 2011 

through June 23, 2014. The initial 3-year 

term may be renewed for up to one 

additional term. The OCS SC is 

chartered under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA) to advise the 

Secretary of the Interior through the 

Director of the BOEMRE on the 

appropriateness, feasibility, and 

scientific value of the OCS 

Environmental Studies Program (ESP) 

and environmental aspects of the 

offshore energy and marine minerals 

programs. The ESP, initiated to support 

the U.S. Department of the Interior’s 

offshore oil and gas leasing program and 

authorized by the OCS Lands Act as 

amended (Section 20), is administered 

by the BOEMRE. The program covers a 

wide range of field and laboratory 

studies in biology, chemistry, and 

physical oceanography, as well as 

studies of the social and economic 

impacts of OCS energy and marine 

minerals development. Currently, the 

work is conducted through award of 

competitive contracts and interagency 

and cooperative agreements. The OCS 

SC reviews the relevance of the 

information being produced by the ESP 

and may recommend changes in its 

scope, direction, and emphasis. 

The OCS SC comprises distinguished 

scientists in appropriate disciplines of 

the biological, physical, chemical, and 

socioeconomic sciences. Currently, the 

OCS SC has 15 vacancies in the 

following disciplines: Biological 

oceanography/marine biology; social 

science; marine archaeology; and 

physical oceanography. The selections 

are based on maintaining disciplinary 

expertise in all areas of research, as well 

as geographic balance. Demonstrated 

knowledge of the scientific issues 

related to OCS oil and gas development 

or renewable energy is essential. The 

Secretary of the Interior makes 

selections on the basis of these factors.
