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.
