## Abstract

OHA and MMS are amending their rules governing the appeal of orders from MMS's Royalty Management Program and MMS's Offshore Minerals Management. This rule makes final parts of the proposed rule published on January 12, 1999. The rule also: implements certain provisions of the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Simplification and Fairness Act of 1996 governing how appellants in royalty appeals may demonstrate financial solvency instead of posting a surety, and provides for new regulations to collect processing fees in appeals from Offshore Minerals Management orders.
