Title: ONRR 2020 Valuation Reform and Civil Penalty Rule 
Abstract:

In March 2019, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Order) vacated ONRR’s 2017 Repeal of its Consolidated Federal Oil & Gas and Federal & Indian Coal Valuation Reform rule (2017 Repeal rule, RIN 1012-AA20). In the order vacating the 2017 Repeal rule, the Court reinstated ONRR’s 2016 Consolidated Federal Oil & Gas and Federal & Indian Coal Valuation Reform rule (RIN 1012-AA13), retroactive to its original effective date of January 1, 2017. ONRR will publish a proposed rule to amend the existing regulations for valuing oil, gas, coal, and Indian coal produced from federally-administered leases for royalty purposes and for issuing notices of non-compliance and assessing civil penalties for mineral leases.
