Wyoming Oil Royalty-In-Kind Pilot

Report

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Availability For

Review and Comment of the Wyoming

Oil Royalty-In-Kind Pilot Report—

Evaluation of the Pilot’s First 18 Months

(October 1998—March 2000).

SUMMARY: Minerals Management Service

(MMS) will post on MMS’s Internet

Home Page the Wyoming Oil Royalty-InKind Pilot Report—18 Months and

Counting. Comments will be accepted

electronically or in hard copy.

DATES: Please submit comments on or

before April 27, 2001.

ADDRESSES: The Report may also be

obtained by contacting Mr. Martin C.

Grieshaber, Minerals Management

Service, MS 9200, PO Box 25165,

Denver, CO 80225–0165.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Martin C. Grieshaber, telephone number

(303) 275–7118; fax (303) 275–7124; email Martin.Grieshaber@mms.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Report will be posted at http://

www.mrm.mms.gov under the icons

‘‘What’s New’’ and ‘‘Royalty in Kind.’’

The Wyoming Oil Royalty-In-Kind Pilot

was a result of a feasibility study

published by MMS in 1997. That study

concluded that, under the right

circumstances, royalty in kind could be

workable, revenue neutral or positive,

and administratively more efficient for

MMS and industry. The study

recommended a set of royalty-in-kind

pilot projects to test these conclusions.

MMS, in partnership with the State of

Wyoming, began taking in kind and

offering for sale oil from leases in the

Big Horn and Powder River Basins in

October 1998. The Report summarizes

and analyzes the results of the first three

6-month sales. The Wyoming Oil

Royalty-in-Kind Program is currently in

its sixth sale period.

MMS and the State of Wyoming have

been in continuous contact with

affected parties. The Royalty-in-Kind

Program is under constant

improvement. Many of these

improvements are a direct result of the

lessons learned during the pilot period

and subsequent sales. MMS’s intent in

making the Report available for

comment prior to finalization is to

continue these iterative improvements

by receiving comments from individuals

and groups with expertise in the

Wyoming oil market. General comments

concerning the analysis of the Wyoming

Oil Royalty-in-Kind Pilot will assist

MMS in future reviews of its gas

Royalty-in-Kind Pilots in the Gulf of

Mexico.
