(a)   (1) If ONRR determines that you took an unauthorized transportation allowance, then you must pay any additional royalties due, plus late payment interest calculated under §§1218.54 and 1218.102 of this chapter.   (2) If you understated your transportation allowance, you may be entitled to a credit, with interest.

(b) If you deduct a transportation allowance on form ONRR-2014 that exceeds 50 percent of the value of the gas, residue gas, or gas plant products transported without obtaining ONRR's prior approval under §1206.152(e)(2), you must pay additional royalties due, plus late payment interest calculated under §§1218.54 and 1218.102 of this chapter, on the excess allowance amount taken from the date when that amount is taken to the date when you file an exception request that ONRR approves. If you do not file an exception request, or if ONRR does not approve your request, you must pay late payment interest on the excess allowance amount taken from the date that amount is taken until the date you pay the additional royalties owed.

(c) If you improperly net a transportation allowance against the sales value of the residue gas, gas plant products, or unprocessed gas instead of reporting the allowance as a separate entry on Form ONRR-2014, ONRR may assess a civil penalty under 30 CFR part 1241.
