Abstract
This final rule amends the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) regulations that set Maximum Daily Civil Penalty (MDCP) amounts for violations of the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act (FOGRMA). The amended BSEE regulations will cross- reference regulations of the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) that also set MDCP amounts for FOGRMA violations. This cross-reference will ensure consistency between BSEE's FOGRMA MDCP amounts and ONRR's FOGRMA MDCP amounts. It will also ensure consistent compliance with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (FCPIAAIA of 2015) and related Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance, while reducing unnecessary duplication of effort and costs to the agency.
