『About the Minerals Management Service
The Minerals Management Service
(MMS), a bureau in the U.S. Department
of the Interior, is the Federal agency that manages the nation's
natural gas, oil and other mineral resources on the outer
continental shelf (OCS). The agency also collects, accounts
for and disburses more than $8 billion per year in revenues from
Federal offshore mineral leases and from onshore mineral leases
on Federal and Indian lands. The program is national in scope
and headquartered in Washington, D.C. It includes two major programs,
Offshore Minerals Management
and Minerals Revenue Management.
The Offshore program, which manages the mineral resources on
the OCS, comprises three regions: Alaska,
Gulf of Mexico,
and the Pacific.
The Minerals Revenue Management program is headquartered in Washington,
D.C., but operationally based in Denver, Colorado.』
