Royalty Relief for Deepwater Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Gas Leases—Conforming Regulations to Court Decision

Regulatory Identifier Number (RIN) 1010-AD29
Federal Register/Vol. 72, No. 245, FR 72652 (12/21/2007)

Summary: This proposed rule would amend 30 CFR parts 260 and 203 to conform the regulations to the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Santa Fe Snyder Corp., et al. v. Norton (the Decision). That decision found that certain provisions of the MMS regulations interpreting section 304 of the Deep Water Royalty Relief Act are contrary to the requirements of the statute.
