Examples of relief options you could request are:\n(1) To report and pay royalties using a valuation method other than that required under 30 CFR part 1206 that approximates royalties payable under that part 1206; and\n(2) To reduce your royalty audit burden. However, ONRR will not consider any request that eliminates ONRR's or the States' right to audit.\n(b) You must request approval from ONRR under § 1204.205(b), and receive approval under § 1204.206 before taking relief under this option.","path":["Title 30—Mineral Resources","CHAPTER XII—OFFICE OF NATURAL RESOURCES REVENUE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","SUBCHAPTER A—NATURAL RESOURCES REVENUE","PART 1204—ALTERNATIVES FOR MARGINAL PROPERTIES","Subpart C—Accounting and Auditing Relief"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-30.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:24Z","sha256":"ca3910413e488db862feb2219011c857b448193d7dfeb1e7dbb29839d30c2691","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/30-cfr-1204.202","next":"us/30-cfr-1204.204"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
