BILLING CODE 4210–67–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Minerals Management Service 

Notice of the Annual Price Threshold 

Determination 

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service 

(MMS), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of annual price threshold 

determination and annual average oil 

and gas market price calculations, along 

with their effects for the Gulf of Mexico 

royalty relief programs. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides the 

official MMS determination of which 

Gulf of Mexico price thresholds have 

been exceeded by annual market prices 

for oil or gas, by lease vintage, for 

calendar year 2008. This notice also 

explains in detail how MMS calculates 

the annual oil and gas prices and 

applicable price thresholds used to 

determine whether royalty relief applies 

in calendar year 2008 for our various 

deepwater and deep depth royalty relief 

programs. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Marshall Rose, Chief, Economics 

Division at (703) 787–1536. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By various 

laws (Outer Continental Shelf Lands 

Act, Deep Water Royalty Relief Act, 

Energy Policy Act) and regulations (30 

CFR 203.48, 203.54, 203.78, 260.110, 

and 260.122), MMS has authority to 

impose price thresholds at which 

otherwise applicable royalty relief is 

suspended. As prescribed in applicable 

regulations or lease terms, 

notwithstanding any provisions for 

royalty relief, companies are required to 

pay royalties for those calendar years 

when annual average New York 

Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) market 

prices for oil or gas exceed the adjusted 

price thresholds levels. Production 

generated royalty-free counts against the 

remaining royalty suspension volume, 

with one exception. That exception 

involves deep-gas production from 

March 1, 2004, through May 2, 2004, 

from deep wells that qualified for 

royalty suspension under 30 CFR 203.40 

through 203.48 (see 69 FR 24055). As a 

courtesy, MMS tracks, calculates, and 

posts on its Web site a variety of 

relevant information about applicable 

oil and gas prices and the price 

threshold levels to be used in 

determining whether a particular lease 

continues to be eligible for deep gas, 

deep water, or other royalty relief. The 

information contained in this published
