30 C.F.R. § 204.203 What is the other relief option?
Title 30 - Mineral Resources
(a) Under this relief option, you may request any type of accounting and auditing relief that is appropriate for production from your marginal property, provided it is not prohibited under §204.204 and meets the statutory requirements of §204.5. Examples of relief options you could request are: (1) To report and pay royalties using a valuation method other than that required under 30 CFR part 206 that approximates royalties payable under that part 206; and (2) To reduce your royalty audit burden. However, MMS will not consider any request that eliminates MMS's or the States' right to audit. (b) You must request approval from MMS under §204.205(b), and receive approval under §204.206 before taking relief under this option.
