Minerals Management: Annual 

Adjustment of Cost Recovery Fees 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of fee adjustments. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) is adjusting the 

fixed fees set forth in the Department of 

the Interior’s onshore mineral resources 

regulations for the processing of certain 

minerals program-related documents 

and actions. 

DATES: The adjusted fees take effect on 

October 1, 2024.

Fluid Minerals, 240–712–8358, yfields@

blm.gov; Matthew Marsh, Acting Chief, 

Division of Solid Minerals, 307–347–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Independent Offices Appropriations Act 

of 1953, 31 U.S.C. 9701, and section 304 

of the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 

1734, authorize the BLM to charge fees 

for processing applications and other 

documents related to public lands. In 

2005, the BLM published a final cost 

recovery rule (70 FR 58854) that 

established new fees or revised existing 

fees and service charges for processing 

documents related to its minerals 

program and established the method 

that the BLM uses to adjust those fees 

and services charges for inflation on an 

annual basis. BLM regulations at 43 CFR 

3000.120 provide that the BLM Director 

will post the fixed filing fees on the 

BLM’s web page (www.blm.gov) and 

publish a notice in the Federal Register 

announcing the fee adjustments by 

October 1 of each year to provide 

additional public notice. The new fees 

take effect each year on October 1. 

The fee adjustments are based on 

mathematical formulas that were 

established in the 2005 final cost 

recovery rule and, in the case of the 

Application for Permit to Drill fee, 

section 3021(b) of the National Defense 

Authorization Act of 2015. For more 

details on how the BLM calculates the 

fee increases, please refer to the BLM 

website.
