SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: President Clinton signed the Federal Oil and 
Gas Royalty Simplification and Fairness Act (RSFA) on August 13, 1996, 
to improve the management of royalties from Federal oil and gas leases. 
This is the first major legislation affecting royalty management since 
the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982 (FOGRMA) was 
passed in January 1983.

from the public are encouraged. In addition to attendance at this 
meeting, comments can be made in writing and sent directly to MMS using 
instructions in the ADDRESSES part of this notice.
