MMS Final Rule – Permit Fees Will be Imposed
Published on August 15, 2006



This serves as a reminder that new MMS Service Fes will go into effect on September 1, 2006.

MMS published a final rule on July 19, 2006, imposing new MMS fees to process certain plans, applications, and permits. For example, the fee for a proposed Exploration Plan with 5 surface locations will be $16,250.

If you are planning on submitting permits in the near future, you may wish to submit them before September 1, 2006 to avoid the new fees.

If you are a JCCRegs.com subscriber, all fees will be added to the Plans and Permits Guide on September 1st.

If you need assistance regarding implementation of these new regulations, please contact Cathy Thornton at J. Connor Consulting, Inc. at (281)578-3388.
