# §203.52. What criteria must I meet to get relief?

- (a) To qualify for relief, you must demonstrate that the sum of royalty payments over the 12 qualifying months exceeds 75 percent of the sum of net revenues (before-royalty revenues minus allowable costs, as defined in [§ 203.84](/cfr/30/203.84.md)).
- (b) To re-qualify for relief, e.g., either applying for additional relief on top of relief already granted, or applying for relief sometime after your earlier agreement terminated, you must demonstrate that:
  - (1) You have met the criterion listed in [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section, and
  - (2) **The 12 required qualifying months of operation have occurred under the current royalty arrangement.**
