Geothermal Valuation (RIN 1010-AD32, 30 CFR Parts 202,
206, 210, 217, and 218)
(71 FR
41516 -- July 21, 2006)
The MMS
is proposing new regulations implementing the provisions
of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) governing the
payment of royalty on geothermal resources produced from
Federal leases and the payment of direct use fees in
lieu of royalties. The EPAct provisions amend the
Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 (GSA). The new regulations
would amend the current MMS geothermal royalty valuation
regulations and simplify the royalty calculations for
geothermal resources for leases issued under the EPAct
and leases whose terms are modified under the EPAct. The
new regulations would also amend various related
provisions in the MMS rules.

Advance notice of
proposed rulemaking and announcement of public meetings.

in proposing regulations regarding so-called "takes
versus entitlements" reporting and payment of royalties
when oil and gas production is commingled upstream of
the point of royalty measurement.
