Title 30 - Mineral Resources
Source: 56 FR 57286, Nov. 8, 1991, unless otherwise noted.
Terms used in this subpart shall have the same meaning as in 30 CFR 206.351. Information required by MMS shall be filed using the forms prescribed in this subpart, which are available from MMS. Records may be maintained on microfilm, microfiche, or other recorded media that are easily reproducible and readable. See subpart H of 30 CFR part 212. The Payor Information Form (Form MMS–4025) must be filed for each Federal lease on which geothermal royalties (including byproduct royalties) are paid. Where specifically determined by MMS, Form MMS–4025 is also required for all Federal leases on which rent is due. The completed form must be filed by the party who is making the rent or royalty payment (payor) for each revenue source. Form MMS–4025 must be filed no later than 30 days after issuance of a new lease or a modification to an existing lease that changes the paying responsibility on the lease. The Form MMS–4025 shall identify the payor of production royalty, and identify revenue sources and selling arrangements for all leased geothermal resources (including byproducts). After filing the initial form, a new Form MMS–4025 must be filed no later than 30 days after the occurrence of any of the following: (a) Assignment of all or any part of the lease; (b) Production of new product; (c) A change in a selling arrangement; (d) Change in royalty rate; (e) Change of payor; or (f) Abandonment of a lease. The MMS may require submission of additional information on special forms or reports. When special forms or reports other than those referred to in this subpart are necessary, MMS will give instructions for the filing of such forms or reports. Requests for the submission of such forms will be made in conformity with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 and other applicable laws. A completed Report of Sales and Royalty Remittance (Form MMS–2014) must be submitted each month once sales or utilization of production occur, even though sales may be intermittent, unless otherwise authorized by MMS. This report is due on or before the last day of the month following the month in which production was sold or utilized, together with the royalties due the United States. (a) Specific guidance on how to prepare and submit required information collection reports and forms to MMS is contained in an MMS Oil and Gas Payor Handbook which is available from the Minerals Management Service, Royalty Management Program, P.O. Box 5760, Denver, Colorado 80217–5760. (b) Royalty payors should refer to this handbook for specific guidance with respect to geothermal resources reporting requirements. If additional information is required, the payor should contact the MMS at the above address. The appropriate telephone numbers are listed in the handbook.
