SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR 281, Leasing for 

Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and 

Sulphur in the Outer Continental Shelf. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0082. 

Abstract: Section 8(k) of the Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act, as 

amended (43 U.S.C. 1337), authorizes 

the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) 

to grant to the qualified persons offering 

the highest cash bonuses on a basis of 

competitive bidding leases of any 

mineral other than oil, gas, and sulphur. 

This applies to any area of the Outer 

Continental Shelf not then under lease 

for such mineral upon such royalty, 

rental, and other terms and conditions 

as the Secretary may prescribe at the 

time of offering the area for lease. The 

Secretary is to administer the leasing 

provisions of the Act and prescribe the 

rule and regulations necessary to carry 

out those provisions. 

Regulations at 30 CFR 281 implement 

these statutory requirements. The 

regulations at 30 CFR 281 concern 

leasing activities of minerals other than 

oil, gas or sulphur and are the subject 

of this collection. 

BOEMRE uses the information 

required by 30 CFR 281 to determine if 

statutory requirements are met prior to 

the issuance of a lease. Specifically, 

BOEMRE uses the information to: 

• Evaluate the area and minerals 

requested by the lessee to assess the 

viability of offering leases for sale. 

• Allow the State(s) to initiate the 

establishment of a joint group. 

• Ensure excessive overriding royalty 

interests are not created that would put 

economic constraints on all parties 

involved. 

• Document that a leasehold or 

geographical subdivision has been 

surrendered by the record title holder. 

We protect proprietary information 

according to the Freedom of Information 

Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing 

regulations (43 CFR 2), and 30 CFR parts 

280 and 282. No items of a sensitive 

nature are collected. Responses are 

mandatory. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Description of Respondents: As there 

are no active respondents, we estimate 

the potential annual number of 

respondents to be one. Potential 

respondents are OCS lease requestors, 

state governments, and OCS lessees. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

currently approved annual reporting 

burden for this collection is 1,248 hours. 

The following chart details the 

individual components and respective 

hour burden estimates of this ICR. In 

calculating the burdens, we assumed 

that respondents perform certain 

requirements in the normal course of 

their activities. We consider these to be 

usual and customary and took that into 

account in estimating the burden.

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA 

(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. Until OMB approves a 

collection of information, you are not 

obligated to respond. 

Comments: Before submitting an ICR 

to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

requires each agency ‘‘* * * to provide 

notice * * * and otherwise consult 

with members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning each proposed 

collection of information * * *’’.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart D, Oil 

and Gas Drilling Operations. 

BOEMRE Form(s): MMS–123, MMS– 

123S, MMS–124, MMS–125, MMS–133, 

MMS–133S, and MMS–144. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0141. 

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 

1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), 

authorizes the Secretary of the Interior 

to prescribe rules and regulations to 

administer leasing of the OCS. Such 

rules and regulations will apply to all 

operations conducted under a lease. 

Operations on the OCS must preserve, 

protect, and develop oil and natural gas 

resources in a manner that is consistent 

with the need to make such resources 

available to meet the Nation’s energy 

needs as rapidly as possible; to balance 

orderly energy resource development 

with protection of human, marine, and 

coastal environments; to ensure the 

public a fair and equitable return on the 

resources of the OCS; and to preserve 

and maintain free enterprise 

competition. Section 1332(6) states that 

‘‘operations in the Outer Continental 

Shelf should be conducted in a safe 

manner by well trained personnel using 

technology, precautions, and other 

techniques sufficient to prevent or 

minimize the likelihood of blowouts, 

loss of well control, fires, spillages, 

physical obstructions to other users of 

the waters or subsoil and seabed, or 

other occurrences which may cause 

damage to the environment or to 

property or endanger life or health.’’ 

The Independent Offices 

Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the 

Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L. 

104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26, 

1996), and OMB Circular A–25, 

authorize Federal agencies to recover 

the full cost of services that confer 

special benefits. Under the Department 

of the Interior’s implementing policy, 

BOEMRE is required to charge fees for 

services that provide special benefits or 

privileges to an identifiable non-Federal 

recipient above and beyond those which 

accrue to the public at large. 

Applications for permits to drill and 

modification approvals are subject to 

cost recovery, and BOEMRE regulations 

specify service fees for these requests. 

This authority and responsibility are 

among those delegated to BOEMRE. The 

regulations at 30 CFR 250, subpart D, 

concern oil and gas drilling operations 

and are the subject of this collection. 

This request also covers the related 

Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) 

that BOEMRE issues to clarify, 

supplement, or provide additional 

guidance on some aspects of our 

regulations. 

Regulations at 30 CFR 250, subpart D, 

implement these statutory requirements. 

We use the information to ensure safe 

drilling operations and to protect the 

human, marine, and coastal 

environment. Among other things, 

BOEMRE specifically uses the 

information to ensure: The drilling unit 

is fit for the intended purpose; the 

lessee or operator will not encounter 

geologic conditions that present a 

hazard to operations; equipment is 

maintained in a state of readiness and 

meets safety standards; each drilling 

crew is properly trained and able to 

promptly perform well-control activities 

at any time during well operations; 

compliance with safety standards; and 

the current regulations will provide for 

safe and proper field or reservoir 

development, resource evaluation, 

conservation, protection of correlative 

rights, safety, and environmental 

protection. We also review well records 

to ascertain whether drilling operations 

have encountered hydrocarbons or H2S 

and to ensure that H2S detection 

equipment, personnel protective 

equipment, and training of the crew are 

adequate for safe operations in zones 

known to contain H2S and zones where 

the presence of H2S is unknown. 

The following forms are also 

submitted to BOEMRE under subpart D. 

The forms and their purposes are: 

Application for Permit To Drill (APD), 

Forms MMS–123 and MMS–123S 

BOEMRE uses the information from 

these forms to determine the conditions 

of a drilling site to avoid hazards 

inherent in drilling operations. 

Specifically, we use the information to 

evaluate the adequacy of a lessee’s plan 

and equipment for drilling, sidetracking 

or bypass operations. This includes the 

adequacy of the proposed casing design, 

casing setting depths, drilling fluid 

(mud), and cementing programs to 

ascertain that the proposed operations 

will be conducted in an operationally 

safe manner that provides adequate 

protection for the environment. 

BOEMRE also reviews the information 

to ensure conformance with specific 

provisions of the lease. In addition, 

except for proprietary data, BOEMRE is 

required by the OCS Lands Act to make 

available to the public certain
