SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart L, Oil and 

Gas Production Measurement, Surface 

Commingling, and Security. 

OMB Control Number: 1014–0002. 

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 

(Secretary) to prescribe rules and 

regulations necessary for the 

administration of the leasing provisions 

of the Act related to the mineral 

resources on 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. 

In addition to the general rulemaking 

authority of the OCSLA at 43 U.S.C. 

1334, section 301(a) of the Federal Oil 

and Gas Royalty Management Act 

(FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants 

authority to the Secretary to prescribe 

such rules and regulations as are 

reasonably necessary to carry out 

FOGRMA’s provisions. While the 

majority of FOGRMA is directed to 

royalty collection and enforcement, 

some provisions apply to offshore 

operations. For example, section 108 of 

FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1718, grants the 

Secretary broad authority to inspect 

lease sites for the purpose of 

determining whether there is 

compliance with the mineral leasing 

laws. Section 109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30 

U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) and (d)(1), impose 

substantial civil penalties for failure to 

permit lawful inspections and for 

knowing or willful preparation or 

submission of false, inaccurate, or 

misleading reports, records, or other 

information. Because the Secretary has 

delegated some of the authority under 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
41416 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 10, 2013 / Notices 

FOGRMA to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is 

included as additional authority for 

these requirements. 

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, 

BSEE 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 surface commingling 

and measurement are subject to cost 

recovery and BSEE regulations specify 

service fees for these requests. 

Regulations at 30 CFR part 250, 

Subpart L, implement these statutory 

requirements. We use the information to 

ensure that the volumes of 

hydrocarbons produced are measured 

accurately, and royalties are paid on the 

proper volumes. Specifically, we need 

the information to: 

• Determine if measurement 

equipment is properly installed, 

provides accurate measurement of 

production on which royalty is due, and 

is operating properly; 

• Obtain rates of production 

measured at royalty meters, which can 

be examined during field inspections; 

• Ascertain if all removals of oil and 

condensate from the lease are reported; 

• Ensure that the sales location is 

secure and production cannot be 

removed without the volumes being 

recorded; 

• Review proving reports to verify 

that data on run tickets are calculated 

and reported accurately; 

• Review gas volume statements and 

compare them with the Oil and Gas 

Operations Reports to verify accuracy. 

We will protect information from 

respondents considered proprietary 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

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

regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under 

regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, Data and 

information to be made available to the 

public or for limited inspection. No 

items of a sensitive nature are collected. 

Responses are mandatory. 

Frequency: Varies by section, but 

primarily monthly, or on occasion. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise Federal oil, gas 

and sulphur lessees and/or operators. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

estimated annual hour burden for this 

information collection is a total of 

30,856 hours. The following chart 

details the individual components and 

estimated hour burdens. 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.

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified two non-hour cost 

burdens, both of which are cost recovery 

fees. Note that the actual fee amounts 

are specified in 30 CFR 250.125, which 

provide a consolidated table of all the 

fees required under the 30 CFR 250 

regulations. The non-hour cost burden 

total in this collection of information is 

an estimated $344,279. The cost 

burdens are for: (1) filing fees associated 

with submitting requests for approval of 

simple applications (applications to 

temporarily reroute production (for a 

duration not to exceed 6 months); 

production tests prior to pipeline 

construction; departures related to 

meter proving, well testing, or sampling 

frequency ($1,271 per application)) or, 

(2) submitting a request for approval of 

a complex application (creation of new 

facility measurement points (FMPs); 

association of leases or units with 

existing FMPs; inclusion of production 

from additional structures; meter 

updates which add buyback gas meters 

or pigging meters; other applications 

which request deviations from the 

approved allocation procedures ($3,760 

per application)). 

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: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.,) 

requires each agency ‘‘. . . to provide 

notice . . . and otherwise consult with 

members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning each proposed 

collection of information . . .’’ Agencies 

must specifically solicit comments to: 

(a) evaluate whether the collection is 

necessary or useful; (b) evaluate the 

accuracy of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) enhance 

the quality, usefulness, and clarity of 

the information to be collected; and (d) 

minimize the burden on the 

respondents, including the use of 

technology. 

To comply with the public 

consultation process, on November 15, 

2012, we published a Federal Register 

notice (77 FR 68144) announcing that 

we would submit this ICR to OMB for 

approval. The notice provided the 

required 60-day comment period. In 

addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB 

control number for the information 

collection requirements imposed by the 

30 CFR 250 regulations. The regulation 

also informs the public that they may 

comment at any time on the collections 

of information and provides the address 

to which they should send comments. 

We received one comment in response 

to the Federal Register notice, but it was 

not germane to the paperwork burden of 

this collection. 

Public Comment Procedures: Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email address, or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

With this notice, we complete the 

CCP process for Malheur Refuge. We 

started this process through a Federal 

Register notice (74 FR 31046; June 29, 

2009). We released the Draft CCP/EIS to 

the public, and requested comments on 

it in a notice of availability in the 

Federal Register (76 FR 55937, 

September 9, 2011). We also announced 

the availability of the final CCP/EIS in 

the Federal Register (77 FR 75644, 

December 21, 2012). 

The Refuge was established on August 

18, 1908, by President Theodore 

Roosevelt, as the Lake Malheur Bird 

Reservation; it was originally set aside 

to prevent plume hunters from 

decimating colonial nesting bird 

populations. The Refuge protected 

unclaimed lands encompassed by 

Malheur, Mud, and Harney Lakes ‘‘as a 

preserve and breeding ground for native 

birds.’’ The Refuge boundary was 

expanded in 1935 to include the Blitzen 

Valley, and again in 1941 to include the 

Double-O Unit. Refuge purposes include 

‘‘a refuge and breeding ground for 

migratory birds and other wild life . . .’’ 

and ‘‘for use as an inviolate sanctuary, 

or for any other management purpose, 

for migratory birds.’’ 

The Refuge consists of more than 

187,000 acres of open water (marsh, 

river, and stream), wetlands, springs, 

riparian areas, irrigated meadows, grain 

fields, and shrub-steppe uplands. With 

its abundance of water in an otherwise 

arid landscape, the Refuge attracts a 

significant number of birds from the 

Pacific Flyway during spring migration. 

The Refuge is included in several 

flyway and regional bird conservation 

plans, and is designated an Important 

Bird Area by the National Audubon 

Society. However, populations of 

breeding waterfowl and waterbirds on
