involves a short realignment (2,830 feet) 

relatively low on the slope of Mt. 

Finlayson. Sixteen hundred feet of the 

realignment would be within a bored 

tunnel. Maximum slope would be 7% 

gradient. Alternative D: Mid-Slope 

Alignment with Short Tunnel involves 

mid-slope realignment to the north of 

the existing road, utilizing a short 

tunnel near the ridge line of Mt. 

Finlayson. Realignment length would be 

4,700 feet, 775 feet of which would be 

within the tunnel. Maximum slope 

would be 8% gradient. 

The ‘‘agency preferred’’ alternative is 

Alternative B: Hybrid Mid-Slope 

Realignment. This involves mid-slope 

realignment to the north of the existing 

road, traversing the south-facing slope 

of Mt. Finlayson. At its highest point, 

this alignment curves slightly south of 

the Mt. Finlayson summit. The 

approximately 4,950 foot long 

realignment would be entirely on the 

surface (no tunnel), with a short slope 

of 10.5% gradient on the eastern end. 

This also is deemed to be the 

‘‘environmentally preferred’’ course of 

action. 

Not sooner than 30 days after 

publication by the Environmental 

Protection Agency of its notice of filing 

of the Final EIS in the Federal Register, 

a Record of Decision will be prepared. 

Because this is a delegated EIS, the 

official responsible for the NPS decision 

is the Regional Director, Pacific West 

Region. Subsequently the official 

responsible for implementation of the 

approved road relocation project is the 

Superintendent, San Juan Island 

National Historical Park.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0176. 

Title: 30 CFR Part 585, Renewable 

Energy and Alternate Uses of Existing 

Facilities on the Outer Continental 

Shelf. 

Forms: BOEM–0002, BOEM–0003, 

BOEM–0004, BOEM–0005, BOEM– 

0006. 

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 issue leases, easements, or rights-ofway on the OCS for activities that 

produce or support production, 

transportation, or transmission of energy 

from sources other than oil and gas 

(renewable energy). Specifically, 

subsection 8(p) of the OCS Lands Act, 

as amended by section 388 of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–58), 

directs the Secretary of the Interior to 

issue any necessary regulations to carry 

out the OCS renewable energy program. 

The Secretary delegated this authority to 

the Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management (BOEM). The BOEM has 

issued regulations for OCS renewable 

energy activities at 30 CFR Part 585; this 

notice concerns the reporting and 

recordkeeping elements required by 

these regulations. 

Respondents operate commercial and 

noncommercial technology projects that 

include installation, construction, 

operation and maintenance, and 

decommissioning of offshore facilities, 

as well as possible onshore support 

facilities. The BOEM must ensure that 

these activities and operations on the 

OCS are performed in a safe and 

pollution-free manner, do not interfere 

with the rights of other users on the 

OCS, and balance the protection and 

development of OCS resources. 

Therefore, BOEM needs information 

concerning the proposed activities, 

facilities, safety equipment, inspections 

and tests, and natural and manmade 

hazards near the site, as well as 

assurance of fiscal responsibility. 

The BOEM uses forms to collect some 

information to ensure proper and 

efficient administration of OCS 

renewable energy leases and grants and 

to document the financial responsibility 

of lessees and grantees. Forms BOEM– 

0002, BOEM–0003, BOEM–0004, and 

BOEM–0006 are used by renewable 

energy entities on the OCS to designate 

an operator and to assign or relinquish 

a lease or grant. Form BOEM–0005 is 

used to procure and submit a bond for 

the purpose of meeting financial 

assurance requirements as set forth in 

the regulations. The BOEM maintains 

the submitted forms as official lease and 

grant records pertaining to operating 

responsibilities, ownership, and 

financial responsibility. 

We will protect information 

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 585.113, addressing disclosure 

of data and information to be made 

available to the public and others. No 

items of a sensitive nature are collected. 

Responses are mandatory or required to 

obtain a benefit. 

Frequency: On occasion or annually. 

Description of Respondents: 

Companies interested in renewable 

energy-related uses on the OCS and 

holders of leases and grants under 30 

CFR Part 585. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

currently approved annual reporting 

burden for this collection is 31,124 

hours. The following table details the 

individual components and respective 

hour burden estimates of this ICR.

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

The current OMB approved non-hour 

cost burdens total $3,816,000. We have 

identified three non-hour cost burdens 

for this collection. These non-hour cost 

burdens consist of service fees for 

BOEM document/study preparation, 

costs for paying a contractor instead of 

BOEM, and costs for a site-specific 

study and report to evaluate the cause 

of harm to natural resources. 

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: We invite comments on: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the agency 

to perform its duties, including whether 

the information is useful; (2) the 

accuracy of our burden estimate; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden on the respondents, including 

the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

Agencies must also estimate the nonhour cost burdens to respondents or 

recordkeepers resulting from the 

collection of information. Therefore, if 

you have costs to generate, maintain, 

and disclose this information, you 

should comment and provide your total 

capital and startup cost components or 

annual operation, maintenance, and 

purchase of service components. You 

should describe the methods you use to 

estimate major cost factors, including 

system and technology acquisition, 

expected useful life of capital 

equipment, discount rate(s), and the 

period over which you incur costs. 

Capital and startup costs include, 

among other items, computers and 

software you purchase to prepare for 

collecting information, monitoring, and 

record storage facilities. You should not 

include estimates for equipment or 

services purchased: (i) Before October 1, 

1995; (ii) to comply with requirements 

not associated with the information 

collection; (iii) for reasons other than to 

provide information or keep records for 

the Government; or (iv) as part of 

customary and usual business or private 

practices. 

We will summarize written responses 

to this notice and address them in our 

submission for OMB approval. As a 

result of your comments, we will make 

any necessary adjustments to the burden 

in our submission to OMB. 

Public Availability of Comments: 

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. 

Dated: October 2, 2012.
