§203.62. How do I apply for relief?
30 C.F.R. § 203.62
You must send a complete application and the required fee to the BSEE Regional Director for your region.
Your application for royalty relief offshore Alaska or in deep water in the GOA must include an original and two copies (one set of digital information) of:
Administrative information report;
Economic viability and relief justification report;
G&G report;
Engineering report;
Production report; and
Cost report.
Section 203.82 explains why we are authorized to require these reports.
