Title: Payor Information Form (PIF) Oil and Gas
OMB Approval Number: 1010-0033

    Abstract: Data collected on PIF's are used to establish payor 
accounts for all mineral leases on Federal and Indian lands using 
accounting identification numbers assigned by the Minerals Management 
Service (MMS). Changes in the paying responsibilities on the lease are 
also reported on the PIF. The MMS is then able to maintain, reconcile, 
and audit lease accounts through the use of its computerized Auditing 
and Financial System. This information will enable MMS to determine 
payors responsible for paying rentals and royalties to MMS and the 
percentage of sales or production on which royalties are to be paid.
