Interior (DOI) is responsible for matters

relevant to mineral resource

Lands and the Outer Continental Shelf

(OCS). The Secretary of the Interior

(Secretary) is responsible for managing

the production of minerals from Federal

Indian lands and seek advice and

information from Indian beneficiaries.

We perform the royalty management

carrying out DOI’s Indian trust

responsibility.

Accounting for comparison (dual

accounting) is required by the terms of

most Indian leases. To not perform dual

accounting, a lessee must certify on
