Indian royalties: Interior has not solved Indian oil and gas royalty payment problems
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5991121
The Bureau of Indian Affairs has fallen far behind in its responsibilities under the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982 in providing useful explanations of royalty payments to Indians. Among other things, royalties were not properly accounted for, resulting in overpayments; and Indian leases were received low priority in the agency's exception processing system, which bills royalty payers for late payments, nonpayments, underpayments, and insufficient estimates. A new computer is being installed in the Department of the Interior to improve the collection and disbursement of royalties but GAO found that this new computer will not solve the problems.
