SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0082. 

Title: 30 CFR part 581, Leasing of 

Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and 

Sulphur in the Outer Continental Shelf. 

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Lands Act (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 OCS not then under 

lease for such mineral upon royalty, 

rental, and other terms and conditions 

that the Secretary may prescribe at the 

time of the lease offer. The Secretary is 

to administer the leasing provisions of 

the Act and prescribe the rules and 

regulations necessary to carry out those 

provisions. 

Regulations at 30 CFR part 581 

implement these statutory requirements. 

There has been no leasing activity in the 

OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, or 

sulphur for many years; however, 

because these are regulatory 

requirements, the potential exists for 

information to be collected. Therefore, 

we are renewing OMB approval for this 

information collection. 

BOEM will use the information 

required by 30 CFR part 581 to 

determine if statutory requirements are 

met prior to the issuance of a lease. 

Specifically, BOEM will use the 

information to: 

• Evaluate the area and minerals 

requested by the lessee to assess the 

viability of offering leases for sale and 

ensure the Federal Government receives 

fair market value for the mineral(s); 

• Request the State(s) to initiate the 

establishment of a joint group to assess 

the proposed action; 

• 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; 

and 

• Determine if activities on the 

proposed lease area(s) will have a 

significant impact on the environment. 

We protect proprietary information 

according to the Freedom of Information 

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

regulations (43 CFR part 2), and 30 CFR 

Parts 580 and 582. No items of a 

sensitive nature are collected. 

Responses are mandatory or required to 

obtain a benefit. 

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: We expect 

the annual reporting burden for this 

renewal to be 1,264 hours. The 

following table 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.
