Advisory committees play an important role in shaping programs and policies of the federal government. ONRR previously participated on the advisory committees listed below.

As provided under the Federal Advisory Committee ACT (FACA), ONRR and other federal agencies sponsor FACA committees to seek and obtain advice and assistance from our nation’s citizens. Additional information on FACA, including relevant laws, regulations, and statistical data, is available on the GSA Committee Management Secretariat web page.

The Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act (FOGRMA) of 1982 authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to enter into Cooperative Agreements (Agreements) with States or Indian Tribes to share oil and gas royalty management information, and to carry out inspection, audit, investigation, and enforcement activities on Federal and Indian lands. Agreements form the framework of ONRR's relationship with States and Indian Tribes in the area of mineral revenue compliance functions. By virtue of this relationship, these States and Indian Tribes are working partners with ONRR and integral participants in the overall compliance effort.

ONRR has responsibilities that both depend on and impact other agencies missions. To coordinate with and create efficient and effective working relationships between agencies, we participate in Memorandums of Understanding (MOU's) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's). MOU's and SOP's are tools we use to help achieve accurate energy and minerals accountability for onshore and offshore issues.
