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

Özet

Final regulations published September 13, 2004 (69 FR 55076), provide two types of accounting and auditing relief for Federal onshore or Outer Continental Shelf lease production from marginal properties. As required by the regulations, the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) provided a list of qualifying marginal Federal oil and gas properties to states that received a portion of Federal royalties. Each state then decided whether to participate in one or both relief options. For calendar year 2012, this notice provides the decisions by the affected states to allow one or both types of relief.
