We will periodically update the fees to reflect changes in costs as well as provide information needed for administering the royalty relief program.
Different fees apply to the various categories initially.
Some applicants will be eligible for significant refunds if we reject their deepwater relief applications as incomplete within the first 20 business days after receipt. A supplemental fee will be charged if, during the review period, we either initiate an audit or identify the need for an audit. Any collection of information that we mention in this NTL provides clarification, description, or interpretation of requirements contained in 30 CFR part 203. The Office of Management and Budget has approved our collection of information required by these regulations and assigned OMB Control Number 1010-0071. This NTL does not impose additional information collection requirements that would be subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
