The information to be included in the report and the format of the report shall be developed by the Secretary of the Interior after consulting with the Committees on Interior and Insular Affairs of the House of Representatives and on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate. The Secretary shall also report on the progress of the Department in reconciling account balances. Abstract: This is a report on royalty management and collection during 1983. The Department of Interior (DOI) continued initiatives aimed at improving its collection methods for federal and Indian revenues from mineral leasing. DOI proceeded with its development of computerized accounting by phasing-in the new Auditing and Financial System (AFS), and with the final design for the Production Accounting and Auditing System (PAAS). In 1984, PAAS will begin to compare volumetric extraction data with the sales and valuation data captured in payor/lessee reports already processed in AFS. DOI also consolidated Bonus Bid and Rental Accounting Support for joint use by Minerals Management. Computer testing was begun in December. DOI continued a variety of audit programs to ensure compliance with federal and departmental policy and regulation. With the mineral-producing states and Indian Tribes cooperating, these lookback, lease, and cooperative audits recovered more than $28 million during 1983. DOI also continued emphasizing improved site inspection and enforcement measures. By year's end, 75 percent of the recommendations of the Commission on Fiscal Accountability of the Nation's Energy Resources (Linowes Commission) had also been addressed fully by the Department. Implementation of the rest were underway, on schedule, or awaiting legislative remedy. Agency Contact: Minerals Management Service. (202) 343-3512.

The lists of wells which flared natural gas for an extended term identify the operator; the lease and well numbers; the date the flaring was approved and the expiration date of the approval; the volume of natural gas flared; and the reason flaring was approved. The list of shut-in wells identifies the type of well (oil or gas), the reason for the shut-in, and the work required to restore production. Agency Contact: Minerals Management Service.

Appropriate recommendations for corrective action, if any, shall be included. Abstract: This document is a report of the Department of Inerior's (DOI) yearly review and revision of payments from delinquent or partially delinquent minerals royalty payors for the two fiscal years preceding each report. DOI details the additional moneys collected for unpaid or underpaid royalties that were uncovered during audits of previously reported data and the resulting reconciliations. The problem is on-going since approximately two and one-half million entries are input yearly from about 240,000 reports made by numerous lessees, operators, and payors on more than 17,000 mineral leases; of these, 16,852 are for oil and gas production. As the responsible entity, the DOI Royalty Management Staff acts to ensure that those reporting and paying are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Many of the delinquent paying problems, especially but not solely for oil and gas leases, are found to derive from the increase in multiple lease interests, changing royalty rates, and the complex specifications of the Windfall Profit Tax and Natural Gas Policy Acts. Computation errors and misinterpretations of intricate regulations also occur. Departmental remedies currently being implemented include centralization and automation of its royalty collection and revenue managing programs and significant upgrading of its professional and technical work force.

The Secretary shall make separate reports on data resulting from the investigation relating to trade association procedures for estimating OCS reserves, recovery, and productive capacity. Abstract: The report includes the determination of the Maximum Attainable Rate (MAR) of oil and gas production for each significant field; an analysis of whether actual production has been less than the MAR; estimates of remaining reserves of oil and gas by fields; estimates of the undiscovered resources of the OCS; and the relationship of such information to the needs of conservation, industry, commerce, and national defense.
