MMS Fees and Plans Submission Regulations
Published on December 27, 2005

As JCC reported earlier, the MMS delayed implementation of the collection of some fees and plans submission requirements that were published as final rules August 25, 2005 and August 30, 2005 respectfully.

The collection of fees for Pipeline ROW Grant applications ($2350), Conversion of Lease Term Pipelines to ROW Pipelines ($300), Pipeline ROW Assignment ($60), Recording of Title and Operating Rights Transfer ($185), and Non-Required Document Filing ($25) as described in the Federal Register August 25, 2005 will become effective January 3, 2006.

The implementation of the final rule regarding plans and information submittal requirements described in the Federal Register August 30, 2005 will become effective January 1, 2006. The effected regulations are the 30 CFR 250.200 series (Subpart B). We expect MMS to issue three new NTLs associated with this final regulation.

Refer to JCCRegs.com for detailed information regarding the changes, or contact Cathy Thornton at JCC for more information.
