7.1 Associate Director for Minerals Revenue Management. The Associate Director provides management, policy and direction for all Minerals Revenue Management (MRM) processes to ensure the efficient, timely, and accurate collection and disbursement of mineral leasing revenue due to Indian Tribes and allottees, States, and the U.S. Treasury. To accomplish this mission, MRM is designed around its two major business processes: financial management and compliance and asset management. These business processes are structured into three business lines: Financial Management, Offshore Compliance and Asset Management, and Onshore Compliance and Asset Management. The business line organizations receive assistance from program support staff reporting to the Associate Director for Minerals Revenue Management and the Deputy Associate Director.
7.2 Financial Management. Financial Management (FM) manages the end-to-end financial process which includes: receiving mineral revenues and related information; performing edits and other automated quality reviews; ensuring that the revenues received are made available promptly to the proper recipients; and assuring that timely information describing the mineral revenues is provided to recipients. The FM manages a reporting services function, an exception accounting function, and an efficient state-of-the-art financial system to accomplish its management of all revenues received and activities related to royalty-in-kind (RIK).
7.3 Offshore Compliance and Asset Management. Offshore Compliance and Asset Management (OFFCAMP) manages the end-to-end compliance and asset management business process for Federal offshore properties including those from which some or all royalties are taken in kind. These functions include: assuring proper royalties have been paid; assuring consistent compliance with lease terms, regulations, and laws; coordinating with delegated States; and making recommendations on royalty asset decisions. OFFCAMP makes decisions in the best interest of the public trust.
7.4 Onshore Compliance and Asset Management. Onshore Compliance and Asset Management (ONCAMP) manages the end-to-end compliance and asset management business process for all producing Indian and onshore Federal oil, gas, solid mineral, and geothermal leases including those from which some of all royalties are taken in kind. Working in partnership with Tribal and State governments, ONCAMP identifies effective and efficient methods and policies for getting royalties and related revenues billed and resolved in a shortened compliance time cycle. In consultation with Tribal and State governments, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Bureau of Land Management, ONCAMP develops and implements a strategy for the optimal use of onshore mineral resources to maximize revenue. ONCAMP applies fiduciary trust principles on Indian leases and public trust on Federal leases.
7.5 Program Support Staff. Program support staff provides advisory and coordination assistance to the AD, the DAD, and other MRM managers. The staff develops strategic plans and budgets, coordinates all enforcement processes and RIK issues, ensures continuous improvement in MRM processes, provides a full range of IT services, and serves as the primary source of minerals revenue information.
7.6 Location. The MRM is headquartered in Washington, DC, and has offices in Lakewood, Colorado; Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Houston and Dallas, Texas.
