Title: 30 CFR Part 206 Subpart B, Establishing Oil Value on Royalty Due on Indian Leases.
This supplementary proposed rule established a new form—Form MMS-4416, Indian Crude Oil Valuation Report, for collecting value and value differential data. OMB approved the use of this proposed Form MMS-4416 and assigned OMB Control Number 1010-0113. Currently, MMS is seeking OMB's approval to renew the reporting requirements for this form until a final rule is published.
MMS is now requesting OMB to renew its approval for the reporting requirements under the proposed and supplementary proposed rules until a final rule is published. We are also seeking OMB's approval for the existing requirements in 30 CFR part 206, Subpart B, that were overlooked. This notice gives the public an opportunity to comment on the reporting requirements in the proposed and supplementary proposed rules that OMB approved on February 2, 2000, and to also comment on the existing requirements that were inadvertently overlooked and not included in an OMB-approved ICR.
MMS has announced in the Federal Register on February 12, 2003 (68 FR 7086), the dates, places, and times for workshops on issues related to the existing rules published March 15, 2000, effective June 1, 2000, governing the valuation for royalty purposes of crude oil produced from Federal leases. The workshops will address, among other things, issues related to calculation of transportation allowances (including the rate of return allowed for calculating actual costs under non-arm's-length transportation arrangements), timing and application of published index prices, and calculation of location and quality differentials under certain circumstances.
225 respondents under proposed and supplementary proposed rules, and
11 respondents under current regulations.
Estimated Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping “Hour” Burden: 6,980 Hours
6,680 hours under proposed and supplementary proposed rules, and
300 hours under current regulations.
The following chart details the individual components and estimated hour burdens for the proposed rule, supplementary proposed rule, and the Start Printed Page 9710current reporting requirements under 30 CFR part 206, Subpart B. In calculating the burdens, we assumed that respondents perform certain requirements in the normal course of their activities. Therefore, we consider these to be usual and customary and took that into account in estimating the burden.
