The Minerals Management Service (MMS), a bureau in the U.S. Department of the Interior, is the federal agency that manages the nation's natural gas, oil and other mineral resources on the outer continental shelf (OCS).  The agency also collects, accounts for and disburses more than $5 billion per year in revenues from federal offshore mineral leases and from onshore mineral leases on federal and Indian lands.  The program is national in scope and headquartered in Washington, D.C.  It includes two major programs, Offshore Energy and Minerals Management (OEMM) and Minerals Revenue Management.  The Offshore program, which manages the mineral resources on the OCS, comprises three regions:  Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, and the Pacific.  The Minerals Revenue program is headquartered in Washington, D.C., but operationally based in Denver, Colorado.
