under which an operator of stripper oil property can obtain a reduced 
royalty rate. Operators are required to provide the royalty rate for 
each property to the Minerals Management Service, Royalty Management 
Program (RMP) to ensure that the correct rate is used in RMP financial 
and production auditing systems.

Federal lands.
