MMS Fees & Subpart B Final Rule Delayed

Published on September 26, 2005
MMS Fees Delayed
MMS is delaying until January 1, 2006, the effective date of the August 25, 2005 rule that
implemented fees to offset MMS's costs of providing certain services related to its mineral
programs.
This delay is necessary because of damage caused in the New Orleans area by Hurricane Katrina
and subsequent flooding. The delay will provide relief to the government and the oil and gas
industry as they recover from this disaster.
Subpart B Final Rule Delayed
MMS will delay the effective date of Subpart B Final Rule to January 1, 2006. MMS will be
publishing a Federal Register "final rule" to announce this decision. MMS will also post the
associated "draft" NTL on their website and publish the final NTL prior to January 1, 2006.
Should you have any questions, please contact Cathy Thornton, J. Connor Consulting, Inc., at
(281) 578-3388.
