Copies of the Information Collection requirements and related

    Title: Oil Transportation Allowances.
    OMB Approval Number: 1010-0061.
    Abstract: The Government collects royalties resulting from the sale 
of Federal and Indian oil. In some cases an allowance is granted to 
compensate lessees for the reasonable costs of transporting the royalty 
portion of the oil to a delivery point remote from the lease. 
Transportation allowances are taken as a deduction from royalty. The 
allowance determination procedure is essential to ensure that the 
public and the Indians receive the full royalty payment to which they 
are entitled, and that lessees are correctly compensated for allowable 
transportation costs. Failure to collect the date described in this 
information collection could make

it impossible to ensure that royalty rates computed and paid are 
appropriate.

    Frequency: On occasion, annually, or when circumstances change.
    Description of Respondents: Oil companies.
    Estimated Completion Time: Average, 3.5 hours.
