# §250.1012. Required payments for pipeline right-of-way holders.

- (a) You must pay ONRR, under the regulations at [30 CFR part 1218](/cfr/30/part1218.md), an annual rental of $15 for each statute mile, or part of a statute mile, of the OCS that your pipeline right-of-way crosses.
- (b) This paragraph applies to you if you obtain a pipeline right-of-way that includes a site for an accessory to the pipeline, including but not limited to a platform. This paragraph also applies if you apply to modify a right-of-way to change the site footprint. In either case, you must pay the amounts shown in the following table.
- (c) If you hold a pipeline right-of-way that includes a site for an accessory to your pipeline and you are not covered by [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section, then you must pay ONRR, under the regulations at [30 CFR part 1218](/cfr/30/part1218.md), an annual rental of $75 for use of the affected area.
- (d) You may make the rental payments required by paragraphs [(a)](#a), (b)(1), (b)(2), and (c) of this section on an annual basis, for a 5-year period, or for multiples of 5 years. You must make the first payment at the time you submit the pipeline right-of-way application. You must make all subsequent payments before the respective time periods begin.
- (e) **Late payments.** An interest charge will be assessed on unpaid and underpaid amounts from the date the amounts are due, in accordance with the provisions found in [30 CFR 1218.54](/cfr/30/1218.54.md). If you fail to make a payment that is late after written notice from ONRR, BSEE may initiate cancellation of the right-of-use grant and easement under [§ 250.1013](/cfr/30/250.1013.md).
