SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Interior

is responsible for the collection of

royalties from lessees who produce

minerals from leased Indian lands. The

Secretary is required by various laws to

manage the production of mineral

resources on Indian lands, to collect the

royalties due, and to distribute royalty

funds in accordance with those laws.

The product valuation and allowance

determination process is essential to

assure that the Indians receive payment

on the proper value of the minerals

being removed. In order to determine

whether the amount of royalty tendered

represents the proper royalty due, it is

first necessary to establish the proper

value of the gas and gas plant products

being sold, or otherwise disposed of, as

well as the proper costs associated with

the allowable deductions from the value

of gas and gas plant products.

Under certain circumstances, lessees

are authorized to deduct from royalty

payments, the reasonable actual costs of

transporting the royalty portion of

produced minerals from the lease to a

processing or sales point not in the

immediate lease area. Transportation

allowances are a part of the product

valuation process which the Minerals

Management Service (MMS) uses to

determine if the lessee is reporting and

paying the proper royalty amount.

Before any deduction is taken, a Form

MMS–4295, Gas Transportation

Allowance Report, must be submitted to

MMS.

When gas is processed for the

recovery of gas plant products, lessees

may claim a processing allowance.

MMS normally will accept the cost as

stated in the lessee’s arm’s-length

processing contract as being

representative of the cost of the

processing allowance. In those instances

where gas is being processed through a

lessee owned plant, the processing costs

shall be based upon the actual plant

operating and maintenance expenses,

depreciation, and a reasonable return on

investment. The allowance is expressed

as a cost per unit of individual plant

products. Processing allowances may be

taken as a deduction from royalty

payments. Before any deduction may be

taken, a Form MMS–4109, Gas

Processing Allowance Summary Report,

must be submitted to MMS.

Failure to collect the data described

could result in the undervaluation of

leased minerals. Regulations at 30 CFR

206 establish uniform product valuation

and allowance policies for all Indian

leases. These regulations require

information in support of the product

valuation or allowances being claimed.

Without such information, MMS cannot

evaluate the correctness of values or

allowances reported and claimed.
