SUMMARY: The Minerals Management

comment period under a proposed rule

amending the royalty valuation

regulations for crude oil produced from

Federal leases. In the July 3, 1997,

Federal Register (62 FR 36030), we

published a supplementary notice of

these comments, outlined alternatives

for proceeding with further rulemaking,

and requested public comment on those

MMS will hold three workshops to

these workshops is to obtain comments

We are not requesting comments on the

original proposed rule or the

supplemental proposed rule, nor on the

summary of comments outlined in the

September 22, 1997, Federal Register

attend and participate in these

workshops.

invited two representatives each from

five industry trade associations and

from five States to participate in a round

table discussion of the alternatives at

Workshops 1 and 2. These two

workshops will be open to the public to

observe the discussions. We ask for the

cooperation of States and industry trade

associations in limiting the people in

attendance so that we may assure a

productive dialogue of the alternatives

among the round table participants.

Workshop 3 will be open to the public

without advance registration. We

encourage a workshop atmosphere;

members of the public are encouraged to

participate in a discussion of the

alternatives. For building security
