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). MMS also serves the U.S. taxpayer by assuring the accurate and timely collection of rents, royalties, and bonuses from leasable minerals from offshore and onshore Federal lands. MMS programs provide major economic and energy benefits to the Nation, taxpayers, States, and the Native American community -- benefits that have both national and local significance. The MMS collects, accounts for and disburses more than $6 billion per year in revenues. The program is national in scope and headquartered in Washington, D.C. It includes two major programs, Offshore Minerals Management and Minerals Revenue Management.
