Workshops on Proposed Rule--Establishing Oil Value for Royalty 
Due on Federal Leases

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of extended workshops.

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

SUMMARY: The Minerals Management Service is extending the April 6, 
1999, Federal oil royalty valuation workshop (Workshop 3). On March 12, 
1999 (64 FR 12267), MMS announced it would reopen the comment period 
and hold three workshops to discuss unresolved issues pertaining to the 
proposed Federal oil valuation rule. The workshops were scheduled in 
Houston, Texas, March 24; Albuquerque, New Mexico, March 25; and 
Washington, D.C., April 6. Based on the various proposals and questions 
that surfaced during the Houston and Albuquerque workshops, the 
workshop participants agreed that additional time would be needed to 
resolve those questions and evaluate the proposals. Therefore, MMS is 
extending the workshop in Washington, D.C., to 2 days.

DATES: April 6-7, 1999, beginning at 9 a.m. and ending 5 p.m. Eastern 
time.

ADDRESSES: Workshop 3 will be held at the Main Interior Building, 1849 
C Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20240 (large buffet room adjacent to 
the cafeteria in the basement). Phone: (202) 208-3512.
