Welcome to the Payments in Lieu of Taxes Website

"Payments in Lieu of Taxes" (or PILT) are Federal payments to local governments that help offset losses in property taxes due to nontaxable Federal lands within their boundaries

FY 2011 PILT Bulletin

On April 5, 2011, the Department of the Interior’s, Office of the Secretary, Accounting Operations Services Division issued a revised letter concerning Central Contracting Registration (CCR) information. The revised letter communicated the following information:

This revised letter has the correct CCR registration website and a CCR help desk phone number. There is no charge to register in CCR. We apologize for the incorrect information previously provided. The CCR website can be reached by going to www.bpn.gov and then clicking the CCR link located in the upper left corner of the web page. The CCR help desk phone number is 866-606-8220.

Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is the primary supplier database for the U.S. Federal government. The CCR collects data from suppliers, validates and stores this data, and disseminates it to various government acquisition agencies. Due to the conversion to a new Financial System (FBMS), the mandates require a valid registration in CCR.

The banking information and mailing address contained in CCR now interfaces with the Financial System from which PILT payments are issued. It is mandatory that all payment recipients (ACH or Check) register in CCR. When your county is registered with CCR, you must be sure that your banking information in CCR is current for ACH payments and the mailing address in CCR is correct if a check payment is received. If the information is not current it must be updated immediately.

In the past you have been instructed to contact NBC Denver to make banking information changes. However, since CCR now interfaces nightly with our payment system any manual banking changes that we make to our system for CCR registered counties will be overridden to match the information in CCR. When your county is registered with CCR, it is imperative that you update your banking information and your mailing address in CCR even if you have submitted changes to Denver. For 2011 and thereafter, your PILT ACH or Check payments will be issued exclusively from the information that resides in CCR.

At this time we are requesting that you complete the CCR registration to include your DUNS (Duns and Bradstreet) number in order to continue to receive disbursements from the respective offices within the Department of the Interior.
