Abstract:
The BSEE uses the information collected under subpart L to ensure that the volumes of hydrocarbons produced are measured accurately, and royalties are paid on the proper volumes. Specifically, BSEE needs the information to: 1. determine if measurement equipment is properly installed, provides accurate measurement of production on which royalty is due, and is operating properly; 2. obtain rates of production measured at royalty meters, which can be examined during field inspections; 3. ascertain if all removals of oil and condensate from the lease are reported; 4. ensure that the sales location is secure and production cannot be removed without the volumes being recorded; 5. Review proving reports to verify that data on run tickets are calculated and reported accurately; and 6. review gas volume statements and compare them with the Oil and Gas Operations Reports to verify accuracy.

Short Statement:
The currently approved hour burden is 39,905. This submission requests 38,986 burden hours. The adjustment decrease of 919 hours is due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses and the amount of time required to respond based on consultations. Currently approved non-hour cost burdens are $322,479. This submission requests $219,765; the adjustment reflects a decrease of $102,714. This is due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses that have associated cost recovery fees. Applications, which are associated with the fees, have been down during the last 3-year period.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$2,962,936
