(ONRR), Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

published August 10, 1999, require ONRR to determine major portion

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 10, 1999, ONRR published a final 
rule titled ``Amendments to Gas Valuation Regulations for Indian 
Leases'' effective January 1, 2000 (64 FR 43506). The gas valuation 
regulations apply to all gas production from Indian (Tribal or 
allotted) oil and gas leases, except leases on the Osage Indian 
Reservation.
    The regulations require ONRR to publish major portion prices for 
each designated area not associated with an index zone for each 
production month beginning January 2000, as well as the due date for 
additional royalty payments. See 30 CFR 1206.174(a)(4)(ii). If you owe 
additional royalties based on a published major portion price, you must 
submit to ONRR by the due date an amended Form ONRR-2014, Report of 
Sales and Royalty Remittance. If you do not pay the additional 
royalties by the due date, ONRR will bill you late payment interest 
under 30 CFR 1218.54. The interest will accrue from the due date until 
ONRR receives your payment and an amended Form ONRR-2014. The table 
below lists the major portion prices for all designated areas not 
associated with an index zone. The due date is the end of the month 
following 60 days after the publication date of this notice.
