Correction to BLM Oil and Gas Leasing Rule Heading

The Bureau of Land Management published a correction to a rule it issued on April 29, 2026. The original document contained a mismatched section heading. This notice fixes that typo by updating the heading for section 3103.31 to read “Sec. 3103.31 Royalty on production.” The correction does not change the actual requirements or calculations for oil and gas royalties. It simply aligns the printed heading with the text that follows it.

Why it matters: This is a standard administrative fix. Corrections like this keep the federal rulebook accurate and prevent confusion for anyone looking up the exact section number. The underlying rule remains unchanged.

Who it affects

• Oil and gas lease holders and operators subject to BLM royalty reporting

This correction was issued by the Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management through the Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation, and Enforcement. You should verify the full text of the original April 29 rule in the Federal Register if you are relying on the exact regulatory language.
