President Clinton signed the Federal Oil and Gas
Royalty Simplification and Fairness Act (RSFA) on
August 13, 1996, to improve the management of
royalties from Federal and Outer Continental Shelf oil
and gas leases. This is the first major legislation
affecting royalty management since the Federal Oil and
Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982 (FOGRMA) was passed
in January 1983.
