Summary
Title I: Federal Royalties Collection - Federal Royalties and Rents Collection Act of 1981 - Directs the Secretary of the Interior to: establish a comprehensive system for accounts applicable to: (1) all mineral interests under the Secretary's jurisdiction; and (2) all revenues collected in connection with the sale or lease of such mineral interests. Requires the Secretary, upon promulgation of such system, to submit to Congress: (1) a report concerning such system; and (2) a report concerning the outstanding accounts due the United States from the sale or lease of U.S. mineral interests. Provides for an annual independent audit of Department of Interior accounts relating to the sale or lease of minerals. Makes individuals handling money in connection with a mineral sale or lease liable for negligent losses and requires such individuals to be bonded. Title II: State Collection of Federal Royalties - Amends the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 to direct the Secretary to collect all money due in connection with public land sales, rentals, interest, and penalties unless there is a State management program for the management of Federal leases. Requires 50 percent of all money collected to be paid to the State within which the leased lands or deposits are or were located, except that the rate shall be 90 percent for Alaska. Requires the Secretary, upon a State's request, to relinquish the administration of all contracts and leases issued by the Secretary within that State to the State, subject to stated requirements. Title III: Miscellaneous Amendments to the Mineral Lands Leasing Act of 1920 - Authorizes the Secretary to promulgate regulations applicable to lessees of oil or gas leases requiring certain: (1) recordkeeping practices; (2) accountability to the Secretary; and (3) reports to the Secretary.
