proprietary materials to facilitate the reengineered compliance process. |

contributions to the successful resolution of longstanding unresolved issues. Mr. Roybal,

successful resolution of complex issues was achieved. Mr. Roybal is commended for his
personal efforts without which the resolution would have been unlikely.
Mr. Roybal continues to participate in several activities, including
the reengineering effort and the Royalty Policy Committee’s Coal Subcommittee and his
contributing advice and observations continue to be of value and service to MMS.
