| Description |
Is Hereby Committing to Implement the EITI to Ensure that Taxpayers Are Receiving Every Dollar Due for Extraction of our Natural
Resources. The U.S. is a major developer of natural resources. The U.S. collects approximately $10 billion in annual revenues
from the development of oil, gas, and minerals on Federal lands and offshore, and disburses the bulk of these revenues to
the U.S. Treasury, with smaller portions disbursed to five Federal agencies, 35 States, 41 American Indian tribes, and approximately
30,000 individual Indian mineral owners. By signing onto the global standard that EITI sets, the U.S. Government can help
ensure that American taxpayers are receiving every dollar due for the extraction of these valuable public resources.
