Abstract: ONRR uses the information collected in this ICR to ensure that royalty is appropriately paid, based on accurate production accounting on oil, gas, and geothermal resources produced from Federal and Indian leases. Our integrated financial accounting system compares royalty (Form MMS-2014)and production volumes (Forms MMS-4054 and MMS-4058) to verify that proper royalties are received for the minerals produced.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There is a program change for this information collection, with a corresponding burden change of 84,424 hours and a burden change in responses of 2,694,238. The increase is due to ONRR performing additional compliance activities. Since the last renewal, ONRR has begun additional audit actions, resulting in additional requests for new adjusted forms on earlier Form 2014s and Form 4054s previously submitted by industry. Since each line of each form is one additional response, ONRR anticipates a material increase in the total number of responses we will receive and a corresponding increase in the burden hours for both industry and ONRR. This program change is, in part, in response to Government Accountability Office's report numbers GAO-08-893R and GAO-09-549, which are located at http://www.gao.gov/assets/100/95734.pdf and http://www.gao.gov/assets/300/292365.pdf, respectively.
