Public Comment Form Overriding Royalty Interest Code

Draft Overriding Royalty Interest Code
Available for Public Comment

The Southern Ute Indian Tribe Department of Energy is now accepting written comments on a proposed “Overriding Royalty Interest Code” or “ORRI Code.” If adopted, the ORRI Code would appear as a new title in the Southern Ute Indian Tribal Code.

The proposed ORRI Code would regulate the creation of new ORRIs on leases of non-renewable tribal energy minerals within the Southern Ute Indian Reservation by requiring the Tribe’s consent before such ORRIs may be created.

Comments must be received by 5PM MST on Monday, December 9, 2024. Comments may be filed using the fields below or submitted by e-mail to publiccomment@sudoe.us with the subject line “Proposed ORRI Code Comments.”
