States' Decisions on Participating in Accounting and Auditing Relief for Federal Oil and Gas Marginal Properties

Özet

Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) regulations provide two types of accounting and auditing relief for Federal onshore or Outer Continental Shelf lease production from marginal properties. Each year, ONRR provides a list of qualifying marginal Federal oil and gas properties to States that receive a portion of Federal royalties from those properties. Each State then decides whether to participate in relief, and if so, whether to allow one or both relief options. For calendar year 2020, ONRR provides this notice of the affected States' decision regarding whether relief should be allowed and, if so, which type of relief will be allowed.
