ONRR ensures compliance with statutory requirements, which includes rulemaking, information collection request (ICR) renewals, and administrative regulatory management support. These statutory requirements give ONRR the authority to fullfill its mission and to ensure that ONRR accurately collects and disburses all revenues from Indian and Federal mineral leases to appropriate recipients on time.
ONRR uses the Federal Register (FR), which is the Federal Government's daily publication of proposed and final regulations, funding priorities, grant application deadlines, meetings, and other notices that Federal agencies and offices announce. The National Archives and Records Adminstration prepares the FR, and the United States Government Printing Office publishes it.
