# §560.220. How does royalty suspension apply to leases issued in a sale held after November 2000?


We may issue leases with suspension of royalties for a period, volume or value of production, as authorized in [section 303](/cfr/30/303.md) of the Act. For purposes of this section and [§§ 560.121 through 560.124](/cfr/30/560.121..560.124.md):

- (a) Any volumes of production that are not normally royalty-bearing under the lease or the regulations (e.g., fuel gas) do not count against royalty suspension volumes; and
- (b) **Production includes volumes allocated to a lease under an approved unit agreement.**
