Public royalties mismanaged by federal oil program
A blue ribbon commission says federal royalty management has been a failure for over 20 years and underreports up to 10 percent of royalties. It estimates 1984 royalties at 5 billion, rising to 14 billion by 1990, with theft adding 3 to 6 percent. Reforms urge moving royalty duties from the Geological Survey to an independent office with strict audits and penalties.
