Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act Funds Awarded to American Samoa

Report Number
2020-WR-041-A

As a part of our oversight responsibilities for the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) appropriations to the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), we have reviewed the Office of Insular Affairs’ (OIA’s) initial oversight steps for the CARES Act grant funds to the Insular Area governments. The CARES Act provided the DOI with $756 million to support the needs of its programs, bureaus, Indian Country, and the Insular Areas.

Energy Company Underpaid Mineral Royalties to Indian Tribes

Report Number
16-0226

The OIG investigated allegations that QEP Energy Company (QEP) failed to properly value minerals produced from Tribal and Indian Allottee properties for 2013 and 2014. We found that QEP underpaid mineral royalties owed to Indian mineral owners in North Dakota, Oklahoma, and New Mexico by $118,716. Subsequently, the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) discovered QEP also undervalued natural gas liquids associated with the leases included in our investigation. This separate violation directly affected QEP’s overall royalty obligation.
