U.S. Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative To Host Public Outreach Webinar for 2015 Report Initiative increases transparency and accountability in the governance of natural resource revenues. WASHINGTON – On Tuesday, May 3, 2016, The U.S. Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (USEITI) will hold an outreach webinar on its 2015 report, which identifies payments to government entities by companies engaged in natural resource extraction. The event is open to the public and news media representatives, who may attend either in person or online. If you are unable to attend, the webinar will be recorded and made available at www.doi.gov/eiti The annual USEITI report contains three primary components: 1) unilateral disclosure of calendar year energy and mineral revenues paid to Interior, disaggregated at the company level and reported by commodity and revenue type; 2) voluntary payment disclosure by U.S. extractive companies participating in USEITI; and 3) contextual information about the extractive industry, including publically available information about state-level revenue collections, county-level case studies that provide a snapshot into communities strongly rooted in the extractive industry, and easy access to authoritative data sources. The report also contains production data for federal onshore and offshore areas for calendar years 2005-2014. The dataset includes production volumes for oil, gas, coal, and other solid minerals at the federal, state and in many cases the county level, and was developed by Interior’s Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR), which is responsible for collecting, disbursing and verifying Federal and Indian energy and other natural resource revenues. ONRR is the lead office at Interior responsible for implementing USEITI. The global Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) offers a framework for governments and companies to publicly disclose revenues paid and received for development of oil, gas, mining and renewable energy development on public lands. Participating countries work collaboratively with industry and civil society representatives to implement the voluntary

initiative and publish an annual report in which governments and companies publicly disclose royalties, rents, bonuses, taxes and other payments from oil, gas, and mining resources. The United States is an EITI implementingcountry, and USEITI launched an interactive data portal and the first annual report in December 2015. WHO:
