ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: In accordance with regulations governing valuation of gas produced from Indian lands, the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) is publishing this notice in the Federal Register of the major portion prices applicable to calendar year 2020 and the date by which a lessee must pay any additional royalties due under major portion pricing. DATES: The due date to pay additional royalties based on the major portion prices is June 30, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions regarding major portion prices, contact Robert Sudar, Market & Spatial Analytics, by telephone at (303) 231-3511 or email to [email protected]. For questions on Reporting Information, contact April Lockler, Reference & Reporting Management, by telephone at (303) 231-3105 or email to [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 30 CFR 1206.174(a)(4)(ii), ONRR must publish major portion prices for each designated area that is not associated with an index zone for each production month, as well as the due date to submit any additional royalty payments. If a lessee owes additional royalties, it must submit an amended form ONRR-2014, Report of Sales and Royalty Remittance, to ONRR and pay the additional royalties due by the due date. If a lessee fails to timely pay the additional royalties, late payment interest begins to accrue pursuant to 30 CFR 1218.54. The interest will accrue from the due date until ONRR receives payment. The table below lists major portion prices for all designated areas that are not associated with an index zone.
