43 C.F.R. § 3211.16 What is the royalty rate for production from or attributable to my lease?
Title 43 - Public Lands: Interior
The royalty rate for production from or attributable to your lease is prescribed in your lease form. The chart at 43 CFR 3211.10 shows the minimum royalty rates. We will determine the royalty rate to include in your lease form based on the following: (a) The royalty rate for heat or energy derived from lease production may range from 10 to 15 percent of the heat or energy value; (b) Except for minerals discussed in paragraph (c) of this section, the royalty rate for the value of byproducts may not exceed five percent: (1) If derived from production under the lease; and (2) If sold or utilized or reasonably susceptible to sale or utilization. (c) The royalty rate for minerals listed in section 1 of the Mineral Leasing Act will be the same as the royalty rate for those minerals provided under BLM regulations in this Title. (d) The royalty rate for commercially demineralized water produced on a lease may not exceed 5 percent, except that BLM will not charge a royalty for water used in the operations of a utilization facility.
