        under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et 
        seq.) to a person described in paragraph (2) unless the person 
        has renegotiated each covered lease with respect to which the 
        person is a lessee to modify the payment responsibilities of 
        the person to require the payment of royalties if the price of 
        oil and natural gas is greater than or equal to the price 
        thresholds described in clauses (v) through (vii) of section

                on the effective date of an agreement under 
                subparagraph (A), any share subject to the agreement 
                shall not constitute a covered lease with respect to

    (c) Transfers.--A lessee or any other person who has any direct or 
indirect interest in, or who derives a benefit from, a lease shall not

swap, spinoff, servicing, or other agreement) any covered lease, the 
economic benefit of any covered lease, or any other lease for the 
production of oil or natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico under the Outer 
Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.), unless the lessee 
or other person has--

        the lessee or person is a lessee, to modify the payment 
        responsibilities of the lessee or person to include price 
        thresholds that are equal to or less than the price thresholds 
        described in clauses (v) through (vii) of section 8(a)(3)(C) of 
        the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 
        1337(a)(3)(C)); or
            (2) entered into an agreement with the Secretary to modify 
        the terms of all covered leases of the lessee or other person 
        to include limitations on royalty relief based on market prices 
        that are equal to or less than the price thresholds described 
        in clauses (v) through (vii) of section 8(a)(3)(C) of the Outer 
        Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1337(a)(3)(C)).

            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall agree to a request by 
        any lessee to amend any lease issued for any Central and 
        Western Gulf of Mexico tract during the period of January 1, 
        1996, through November 28, 2000, to incorporate price 
        thresholds applicable to royalty suspension provisions, that 
        are equal to or less than the price thresholds described in 
        clauses (v) through (vii) of section 8(a)(3)(C) of the Outer 
        Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1337(a)(3)(C)).

                    (A) In general.--A lease amended under paragraph 
                (1) shall impose the new or revised price thresholds

                    (B) Existing lease provisions.--Existing lease 
                provisions for a lease amended under paragraph (1) 
                shall prevail through December 31, 2014.

Summary: This bill repeals the excise tax on medical devices and offsets the cost of such repeal by prohibiting: (1) major integrated oil companies from using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) accounting method; and (2) the issuance of new oil or natural gas production leases in the Gulf of Mexico under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to any person who does not renegotiate their existing leases to generate payment of royalties from such leases.
