(1) SATISFACTION OF ROYALTY OBLIGATION.—
Delivery by, or on behalf of, the lessee of the royalty

GENERAL.—Royalty production
shall be placed in marketable condition by the
lessee at no cost to the United States.
(B) DEFINITION OF MARKETABLE CONDI-
TION.—In this paragraph, the term ‘‘in market-

purities and otherwise in a condition that the
royalty production will be accepted by a pur-
chaser under a sales contract typical of the field
