# §3211.19. What is the royalty rate on byproducts derived from geothermal resources produced from or attributable to my lease?

- (a) For leases issued on or after August 8, 2005 (other than leases issued in response to applications that were pending on that date for which no election is made under [§ 3200.8(b)(1)](/cfr/43/3200.8.md?p=b-1)), and for leases issued before August 8, 2005, for which an election is made under [§ 3200.7(a)(2)](/cfr/43/3200.7.md?p=a-2):
  - (1) The royalty rate for byproducts derived from geothermal resource production that are identified in Section 1 of the Mineral Leasing Act (MLA), as amended ([30 U.S.C. 181](/usc/30/181.md)), is the royalty rate that is prescribed in the MLA or in the regulations implementing the MLA for production of that mineral under a lease issued under the MLA; and
  - (2) For a byproduct that is not identified in [30 U.S.C. 181](/usc/30/181.md), no royalty is due.
- (b) For leases issued before August 8, 2005, for which no election is made under [§ 3200.7(a)(2)](/cfr/43/3200.7.md?p=a-2), and for leases issued in response to applications pending on that date for which no election is made under [§ 3200.8(b)(1)](/cfr/43/3200.8.md?p=b-1), the royalty on all byproducts is the rate prescribed in the lease instrument, or if none is prescribed in the lease instrument, the rate prescribed in [43 CFR 3211.10(b)](/cfr/43/3211.10.md?p=b) (2004).
