Major Portion Prices and Due Date for Additional Royalty Payments 
on Gas Produced From Indian Lands in Designated Areas That Are Not 
Associated With an Index Zone

AGENCY: Office of Natural Resources Revenue, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with regulations governing valuation of gas 
produced from Indian lands, the Office of Natural Resources Revenue 
(ONRR) is publishing this notice in the Federal Register of the major 
portion prices applicable to calendar year 2020 and the date by which a 
lessee must pay any additional royalties due under major portion 
pricing.

DATES: The due date to pay additional royalties based on the major 
portion prices is June 30, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions regarding major portion 
prices, contact Robert Sudar, Market & Spatial Analytics, by telephone 
at (303) 231-3511 or email to [email protected]. For questions on 
Reporting Information, contact April Lockler, Reference & Reporting 
Management, by telephone at (303) 231-3105 or email to 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 30 CFR 1206.174(a)(4)(ii), ONRR 
must publish major portion prices for each designated area that is not 
associated with an index zone for each production month, as well as the 
due date to submit any additional royalty payments. If a lessee owes 
additional royalties, it must submit an amended form ONRR-2014, Report 
of Sales and Royalty Remittance, to ONRR and pay the additional 
royalties due by the due date. If a lessee fails to timely pay the 
additional royalties, late payment interest begins to accrue pursuant 
to 30 CFR 1218.54. The interest will accrue from the due date until 
ONRR receives payment.
    The table below lists major portion prices for all designated areas 
that are not associated with an index zone.
