Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified two non-hour cost 

burdens for this collection. When 

respondents submit an Application for 

Permit to Drill (BOEMRE Form 0123), 

they submit a $1,959 fee for initial 

applications only (there is no fee for 

revisions); and when respondents 

submit an Application for Permit to 

Modify (BOEMRE Form 0124), they 

submit a $116 fee. Refer to the table in 

Section A.12 to see these specific fee 

breakdowns. We have not identified any 

other non-hour cost burdens associated 

with this collection of information. 

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 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to perform its 

duties, including whether the 

information is useful; (b) evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate 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 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

To comply with the public 

consultation process, on April 15, 2011, 

we published a Federal Register notice 

(76 FR 21395) 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 part 250 regulations and forms. 

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 have 

received no comments in response to 

these efforts. 

If you wish to comment in response 

to this notice, you may send your 

comments to the offices listed under the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. The 

OMB has up to 60 days to approve or 

disapprove the information collection 

but may respond after 30 days. 

Therefore, to ensure maximum 

consideration, OMB should receive 

public comments by September 12, 

2011. 

Public Availability of Comments: 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail 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.

Lease Sale for the 2007–2012 5-Year 

OCS Program 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Regulation and 

Enforcement (BOEMRE), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability (NOA) of 

a Final Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS). 

Authority: This NOA is published 

pursuant to the regulations (40 CFR 1503) 

implementing the provisions of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. (1988)). 

SUMMARY: BOEMRE has prepared a Final 

Supplemental EIS on an oil and gas 

lease sale tentatively scheduled late in 

2011 for WPA Lease Sale 218, which is 

the final WPA lease sale in the 2007– 

2012 5-Year OCS Program. The 

proposed sale is in the Gulf of Mexico’s 

WPA off the States of Texas and 

Louisiana. This Final Supplemental EIS 

updated the environmental and 

socioeconomic analyses for WPA Lease 

Sale 218, originally evaluated in the 

Gulf of Mexico OCS Oil and Gas Lease 

Sales: 2007–2012; WPA Sales 204, 207,

MMS 2007–018) (Multisale EIS), 

completed in April 2007. This Final 

Supplemental EIS also updated the 

environmental and socioeconomic 

analyses for WPA Lease Sale 218 in the 

GOM OCS Oil and Gas Lease Sales: 

2009–2012; CPA Sales 208, 213, 216,

Final Supplemental EIS (OCS EIS/EA 

MMS 2008–041) (2009–2012 

Supplemental EIS), completed in 

September 2008. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEMRE 

developed the Final Supplemental EIS 

for WPA Lease Sale 218 in order to 

consider new circumstances and 

information arising from, among other 

things, the Deepwater Horizon event 

and spill. This Final Supplemental EIS 

provides updates on the baseline 

conditions and potential environmental 

effects of oil and natural gas leasing, 

exploration, development, and 

production in the WPA. BOEMRE 

conducted an extensive search for new 

information made available since 

completion of the Multisale EIS and the 

2009–2012 Supplemental EIS and in 

consideration of the Deepwater Horizon 

event, including scientific journals; 

interviews with personnel from 

academic institutions and Federal, 

State, and local agencies; and available 

scientific data and information from 

academic institutions and Federal, 

State, and local agencies. BOEMRE has 

reexamined potential impacts of routine 

activities and accidental events, 

including a possible large-scale event, 

associated with the proposed WPA lease 

sale and the proposed lease sale’s 

incremental contribution to the 

cumulative impacts on environmental 

and socioeconomic resources. Like the 

Multisale EIS and the 2009–2012 

Supplemental EIS, the oil and gas 

resource estimates and scenario 

information for this Final Supplemental 

EIS are presented as ranges that would 

likely be involved as a result of this 

proposed lease sale.
