Abstract:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is finalizing a rule that replaces Onshore Oil and Gas Order Number 5, Measurement of Gas with new regulations codified in the Code of Federal Regulations. This rule also updates the BLM's regulations pertaining to gas measurement, taking into account changes in the gas industry's measurement technologies and standards. The information collection activities in this rule will assist the BLM in ensuring the accurate measurement and proper reporting of natural gas removed or sold from Federal and Indian leases, units, unit participating areas, and areas subject to communitization agreements. The respondents are operators, lessees, purchasers, and transporters.
