Book excerpt: The federal government collects royalties from businesses that hold leases to produce oil and gas on public lands. The petroleum industry has proposed several changes to the way the government manages the collection of those royalties. In addition, the government recently revised its rule for how some of the royalties are valued. Even if implemented fully, those various reforms would be unlikely to have much effect on the volume of oil and gas produced from federal leases both because the scope of the changes is small and because the level of U.S. oil and gas production is not particularly responsive to changes in prices and costs. As a result, it is likely that any gain to the petroleum industry from such reforms would simply reflect a loss of the same amount to the federal budget, and vice versa. Businesses that lease the rights to develop petroleum resources commonly pay their federal royalties as a share of the market value of the oil and gas one-eighth for production from most onshore federal lands and one-sixth from most offshore lands. In 1998, leaseholders paid a total of $3.3 billion in royalties for the right to remove federal oil and gas valued at $22.6 billion. Federal oil and gas account for 26 percent and 34 percent, respectively, of national production. For royalty purposes, the value of such oil or gas is measured as if the product were sold at the lease site (the property described in the lease contract), even though the actual sale may call for delivery away from the lease site and for enhancements to the quality of the product. Those actions add to the product's value, but they also entail costs to the producers. Disputes often arise between lessees and the government about who should shoulder which costs and what the true value of the oil or gas is back at the lease site.

Download or read book Downsizing the Federal Government written by Chris Edwards and published by Cato Institute. This book was released on 2005-11-25 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government is running huge budget deficits, spending too much, and heading toward a financial crisis. Federal spending soared under President George W. Bush, and the costs of programs for the elderly are set to balloon in coming years. Hurricane Katrina has made the federal budget situation even more desperate. In Downsizing the Federal Government Cato Institute budget expert Chris Edwards provides policymakers with solutions to the growing federal budget mess. Edwards identifies more than 100 federal programs that should be terminated, transferred to the states, or privatized in order to balance the budget and save hundreds of billions of dollars. Edwards proposes a balanced reform package of cuts to entitlements, domestic programs, and excess defense spending. He argues that these cuts would not only eliminate the deficit, but also strengthen the economy, enlarge personal freedom, and leave a positive fiscal legacy for the next generation. Downsizing the Federal Government discusses the systematic causes of wasteful spending, and it overflows with examples of federal programs that are obsolete and mismanaged. The book examines the budget process and shows how policymakers act contrary to the interests of average Americans by favoring special interests.
