make one annual payment, and (2) other 

requested relief, as proposed by lessees 

or designees and approved by ONRR, 

after consulting with the affected 

State(s). The regulations require ONRR 

to publish no later than 30 days before 

the beginning of the calendar year a list 

of the States and their decisions 

regarding marginal property relief. 

To qualify for the first relief option 

(notification-based relief) for calendar 

year 2018 properties must produce less 

than 1,000 barrels-of-oil-equivalent 

(BOE) per year for the base period (July 

1, 2016, through June 30, 2017). Annual 

reporting relief will begin January 1, 

2018, with the annual report and 

payment due February 28, 2019, or 

March 31, 2019, if you have an 

estimated payment on file. To qualify 

for the second relief option (other 

requested relief), the combined 

equivalent production of the marginal 

properties during the base period must 

equal an average daily well production 

of less than 15 BOE per well, per day 

calculated under 30 CFR 1204.4(c). 

The following table shows the States 

that have qualifying marginal properties 

and the States’ decisions to allow one or 

both forms of relief.

Federal oil and gas properties located 

in all other States where ONRR does not 

share a portion of Federal royalties with 

the State are eligible for relief if they 

qualify as marginal under 117(c) of 

RSFA, 30 U.S.C. 1726(c). For
