Royalties on Gas, Gas Analysis Reports, Oil and Gas Production

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service (MMS), Interior.

ACTION: Final rulemaking; corrections.

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

SUMMARY: MMS published in the Federal Register of May 12, 1998, a final 
rule commonly known as the ``GVS rule'' that updated production 
measurement, surface commingling, and security requirements and made 
other amendments. The final rule was to become effective on July 13, 
1998. This document corrects the effective date and makes two other 
technical corrections to the final rule. The rule will become effective 
on June 29, 1998.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The rule published on May 12, 1998 (63 FR 26362) is 
effective May 12, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kumkum Ray, Engineering and Operations 
Division at (703) 787-1600.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MMS needs the correction to the effective 
date of the GVS rule to ensure that the revised title 30 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations slated for publication on July 1, 1998 (i.e., the 
bound volume) includes the new numbering system in the final rule 
entitled, ``Redesignation of 30 CFR Part 250'' which follows the GVS 
final rule. We are also making two corrections: (1) A paragraph 
numbering correction and (2) a correction to specify a regulatory 
citation. In the final rule FR Doc. 98-3533, published in the issue of 
Tuesday, May 12, 1998, make the following corrections.

Corrections

    1. On page 26362 in the preamble the effective date is corrected to 
read as follows:
[Effective Dates: June 29, 1998]. The Director of the Federal Register 
has approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications 
listed in the regulations as of June 29, 1998.
    2. On page 26367 in the third column in Sec. 250.1(a) on the third 
line ``paragraph (d)'' is corrected to read ``paragraph (e).''
    3. On page 26372 in the third column in Sec. 250.182(g) at the end 
of the introductory text, ``30 CFR 250, Subpart A:'' is corrected to 
read ``30 CFR 250.1:''
