A. Introduction and General Instructions
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for companies participating in the United States
Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (USEITI) revenue reconciliation process. This document
specifically provides guidance to companies on how to complete the USEITI Reporting Template.
Participation in the USEITI revenue reconciliation is voluntary. As a part of the USEITI process, the US
will publish an annual report that reconciles the revenues of government entities and the payments made
by extractive industry companies, including royalties, rents, bonuses, taxes, and other payments. This
primarily refers to payments made to government entities for extractive activities occurring on Federal
leases/properties, with few exceptions. December 2015 is the scheduled timeframe for publishing the
inaugural USEITI report. More information on USEITI is included at http://www.doi.gov//eiti/index.cfm.
A Multi-Stakeholder Group (MSG) oversees the USEITI process and appoints the Independent
Administrator (IA). The IA’s role is to collect and reconcile the revenue stream data submitted by
companies and government entities. The IA for this report is Deloitte & Touche LLP, who will manage the
revenue reconciliation process. Data submitted to the IA will not be subject to any audit procedures.
This is not an audit process; it is a reconciliation exercise of company payments and government
revenues.
A listing of definitions of terms included here and on the Reporting Template is included in Appendix A:
Terms and Definitions Reference Guide.
B. BOX 1 – General Information
On the template in Box 1, General Information, the name of your company has been pre-populated. Total
consolidated payments made to ONRR during Calendar Year (CY) 2013 determined the selection of
companies for participation in the USEITI revenue reconciliation process.
On the appropriate line, we request that you identify the type of incorporation for your company (S
Corporation, C Corporation, Limited Partnership, Limited Liability Company, etc.).
Companies should only provide payment data for the period of CY 2013, which is January 1, 2013
through December 31, 2013. Only the payments made or reported during CY 2013 should be included in
the amounts reported on the template. The period in which fee activities occurred is not relevant;
reporting is only for the period in which the actual transaction to pay or report the fees occurred.
The reporting currency for the USEITI report is US dollars (USD); all amounts reported on the Reporting
Template should be in USD.
C. BOX 2 – Reported Payments Guidelines
Table B-1 below provides a summary of the government revenue streams determined in-scope for
reconciliation and USEITI reporting for CY 2013 by the USEITI MSG. The table lists these streams by the
appropriate government entity that collects the revenue along with a brief description of each revenue
stream. Companies only need to report payments made for these specific revenue streams. Please
report payment amounts in Box 2, Reported Payments, in the column titled “Amount Paid (USD $)” on
the Reporting Template.
We will treat all summary information provided on the Reporting Template as public information. This data
will be included in the final USEITI report published in December 2015. Actual completed templates
submitted by companies will remain as working papers of the IA and not disclosed to any third party other
than ONRR unless required by law.

Bonus and First Year Rentals Paid to BLM
Table C-7 outlines the transactions that make up the BLM Bonus and First Year Rentals revenue stream.
We understand that companies generally make and record a payment to BLM of the bid amount (bonus)
and the first year rental amount when awarded the winning bid on a lease. Companies should report
payments made only where the bid submitted was the winning bid. Companies should exclude
payments made for deposits where their bid did not win and BLM returned the deposit amount.
Although BLM subsequently transfers these payments of bonus and rent to ONRR, they are a separate
revenue stream for USEITI. This separation better reflects how companies make and record these
payments to government agencies.

Taxes Paid to the IRS
Table C-12 outlines the IRS transactions codes that make up the Taxes revenue stream. These include
all corporate income tax payments made to the IRS by C Corporations during CY 2013 and any tax
refunds paid out. Companies should report a net amount of actual tax payments and tax refunds made or
received during CY 2013, regardless of the period of activity to which the taxes relate. Additionally, these
should be the total tax payments based on all of your company’s income activities, not just those activities
on Federal lands. For companies that are not C Corporations and therefore not subject to U.S.
corporate income tax, this section of the template is not applicable.

D. BOX 3 – Tax Payment Reconciliation
In addition to reporting the amount of taxes paid, companies are also encouraged by the MSG to allow for
reconciliation of taxes. Unlike payments made to DOI bureaus, the IRS cannot release taxpayer
information to the USEITI IA without the company providing explicit approval due to federal privacy laws.
If your company is willing to allow for the reconciliation of the tax amount you have reported in Box 2,
please indicate that on the template in Box 3.
Please see Appendix B: Tax Reconciliation Instructions for the details of the process to allow for
reconciliation of taxes and the required IRS waiver form. This form allows your company to authorize the
IRS to release your company’s tax payment and refund transaction information for CY 2013, described
above, to the IA. The information provided by the IRS will be reconciled with the tax payment amounts
reported by your company on the template, similar to the revenue streams for the DOI bureaus.
The USEITI report will positively highlight companies that choose allow the reconciliation of tax payments.
E. BOX 4 – Additional Supporting Information
The Reporting Template requests companies to report only the total payment amounts for each revenue
stream. However, companies may choose to provide additional information to support the summary
payment amounts to facilitate the reconciliation. If your company chooses to attach supporting information
with the submission of the completed template, please indicate this on the template in Box 4, Additional
Supporting Information.
The IA will not disclose supporting information provided to any third party other than ONRR
without the reporting entity's written consent, unless law requires disclosure. Supporting
information will remain as working papers of the IA and will not be subject to Freedom of
Information Act requests.
F. BOX 5 – Company Contact Information
On the template in Box 5, Company Contact Information, we request that your company provide contact
information; including name, title/position, phone number and email address, for an appropriate individual
that the IA can reach out to directly if any follow up is required. Follow up by the IA may include questions
on the data submitted on your completed template or if any supporting detail is required to resolve
reconciliation differences.

G. BOX 6 – Authorized Representative Sign Off
The EITI Standard requires that the IA and the MSG obtain a sign off from a company official to attest that
the completed Reporting Template is a complete and accurate record. We are requesting that your
company identify an appropriate authorized representative according to your organizational structure to
provide the necessary attestation and sign the completed template in Box 6, Authorized Representative
Sign Off.
The sign off may be documented with a physical or electronic signature. If you have questions about how
to complete the electronic signature, please contact the IA. Once the electronic signature has been
completed, the document will be locked for editing.
H. BOX 7 – Parent Company Subsidiary Identification
In the event your company is a parent company with subsidiary and affiliate companies, reporting of
amounts in the template should occur at the consolidated parent company level. This means that the
reported amounts should reflect total payments made by all parent and subsidiary entities.
We also ask that you please complete Box 7 of the Reporting Template, List of Parent Company
Subsidiaries, in order to help us identify all subsidiary or affiliate entities that you have included in your
consolidated payment amount. Please list each of the entities that make payments to each DOI bureau
and any related payor or customer identification codes used for each of those companies for each
respective bureau.
I. Additional Requests
The EITI Standard requires that countries publishing annual EITI reports must document whether the
participating companies and government entities had their financial statements audited in the financial
year(s) covered by the EITI Report. If your company has audited financial reports from any periods
covered in calendar year 2013 that are not publicly available, we request that you please provide
those reports with the submission of your completed template.
The IA will not share or release these audited financial reports with any third party and will employ
appropriate measures to safeguard them. However, the EITI Standard does require that any gaps or
weaknesses identified in those reports must be disclosed in the USEITI report.
J. Submission
We request that companies submit completed Reporting Templates to the USEITI IA no later than
Wednesday June 17, 2015. Companies may submit completed Reporting Templates through email or
through a mailed, physical hard copy.
For templates submitted by mail, please address to:
US EITI Independent Administrator
C/O Deloitte & Touche, LLP
555 17th Street Suite 3600
Denver, CO 80202
For electronic templates submitted by email, please send to the USEITIDataCollection@Deloitte.com

K. Data Security Measures
IA Responsibilities
The IA will take precautions to safeguard data submitted by companies. These precautions include:
The IA will utilize password protected Reporting Templates when distributed to companies
electronically.
The IA will only request data required to perform the reconciliation activities. The IA will destroy or
delete non-relevant information inadvertently provided.
The IA will work on security-encrypted laptops and email communications will be through secure email
servers.
Passwords utilized will address current government encryption standards.
The IA will handle additional requests for information from either the government entities or reporting
companies to resolve reconciling differences in a similar manner.
Reconciling Company Responsibilities
Companies submitting the Reporting Template via electronic submission should utilize the following
guidelines:
Once the Reporting Templates are completed, templates should be submitted directly to the IA.
The Reporting Templates should be password encrypted when submitted to the IA.
If the template password has changed from the password sent with the template, companies should
provide a separate communication to the IA to notify of the new template password.
L. Questions and Additional Guidance
Should any questions arise while completing the Reporting Template, you should contact the Independent
Administrator at:
USEITIDataCollection@Deloitte.com
We will reply to any such queries as soon as possible.

Appendix B: Tax Reconciliation
Instructions
This section provides companies participating in tax payment reconciliation with the necessary information and
instructions on the tax reconciliation process. A waiver process is required to authorize the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) to release certain specified corporate income tax payment and refund transactions data for
calendar year 2013 to the IA, Deloitte & Touche LLP. Tax data from the IRS is necessary to perform a
reconciliation of corporate income taxes reported by your company on the Reporting Template. Company
participation in tax reconciliation through the authorization of the release of tax information is strictly voluntary.
Generally, tax returns and return information are confidential under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 6103,
unless an exception applies. One such exception is IRC section 6103(c) which allows taxpayers to designate
an appointee to inspect and/or receive your confidential tax information by completing Form 8821. The
enclosed IRS Form 8821 allows your company to authorize a specified third party to inspect and/or receive
your confidential information for the type of tax and the years you list on Form 8821. The IRS will determine
what tax information you will allow the appointee to inspect and review based on the provided Form 8821. If
your company does not provide all the information requested on this form, including all associated Taxpayer
Identification Numbers, the IRS will not be able to honor the authorization.
We prepopulated the appointee box of the attached Form 8821 with the name and appropriate address of the
IA, Deloitte & Touche LLP. Pursuant to the EITI requirements, the IA will be reconciling IRS corporate income
tax payments and refunds with the payment amounts reported separately by companies on the Reporting
Template. The IA’s role is not to audit this information but only to reconcile company payments and government
receipts. The continuation page to the Form 8821 lists specific IRS account transaction codes related to
specific payment and refund amounts identified by the USEITI MSG that would need to be released to the IA as
part of the tax reconciliation process. An appropriate officer of your company should sign the Form 8821
continuation page indicating your company’s approval for the IRS to release to the IA these specific data items.
Please also list on the Form 8821 all taxpayer identification numbers associated with your company reporting
under the USEITI. These can also be included on separate Forms 8821 or as attachments.
The IRS Statistics of Income Division (SOI) will be responsible for compiling and releasing to Deloitte & Touche
LLP the tax payment and refund transaction data for USEITI. Please mail completed Forms 8821 to SOI as
indicated on the Form 8821 instructions under the “Where to File” section. SOI is a special designee to handle
EITI taxpayer disclosure requests. Please send general requests for taxpayer information outside of USEITI to
the appropriate IRS center.
Please contact Barry Johnson at Barry.W.Johnson@irs.gov or 202-803-9794 if you have any questions
regarding the voluntary release of taxpayer data in order to reconcile corporate income tax payments
as part of the USEITI.
