BSEE has reviewed its current regulations pertaining to royalty relief and is considering modifications to streamline the current provisions related to royalty relief, in order to reduce certain unnecessary regulatory burdens imposed under the existing regulations. BSEE's modifications to the existing regulations would increase transparency, efficiency, and clarity consistent with governing law. Appropriately awarded royalty relief helps to ensure America has a stable, long-term energy supply while protecting the American public (i.e., relief only provided when a lease/project is uneconomic paying full royalty). In addition, BSEE is considering modifications for a streamlined approach during presidential declared emergencies.
