SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0072. 

Title: 30 CFR 580, Prospecting for 

Minerals other than Oil, Gas, and 

Sulphur on the Outer Continental Shelf 

and Authorizations of Noncommercial 

Geological and Geophysical (G&G) 

Activities. 

Form: BOEM–0134, Requirements for 

G&G Prospecting, Exploration, or 

Scientific Research on the OCS Related 

to Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and 

Sulphur. 

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Lands Act (OCSLA), 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 to administer leasing of 

the OCS. Section 1337(k) of the OCS 

Lands Act authorizes the 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 in 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.’’ An 

amendment to the OCS Lands Act (Pub. 

L. 103–426) authorizes the Secretary to 

negotiate agreements (in lieu of the 

previously required competitive bidding 

process) for the use of OCS sand, gravel, 

and shell resources for certain specified 

types of public uses. The specified uses 

will support construction of 

governmental projects for beach 

nourishment, shore protection, and 

wetlands enhancement, or any such 

project authorized by the Federal 

Government. 

Section 1340 of the OCSLA states that 

‘‘. . . any person authorized by the 

Secretary may conduct geological and 

geophysical explorations in the [O]uter 

Continental Shelf, which do not 

interfere with or endanger actual 

operations under any lease maintained 

or granted pursuant to this Act, and 

which are not unduly harmful to aquatic 

life in such area.’’ Geological and 

geophysical exploration can only be 

performed pre-lease under a permit, 

authorization, or scientific research 

notice. The section further requires that 

permits to conduct such activities may 

only be issued if it is determined that 

the applicant is qualified; the activities 

do not result in pollution or create 

hazardous or unsafe conditions; the 

activities do not unreasonably interfere 

with other uses of the area or disturb 

any site, structure, or object of historical 

or archaeological significance. 

Prospecting for marine minerals 

includes certain aspects of exploration 

as defined in the OCSLA at 43 U.S.C. 

1331(k). The term ‘‘exploration’’ means 

the process of searching for minerals, 

including geophysical surveys where 

magnetic, gravity, seismic, or other 

systems are used to detect or imply the 

presence of such minerals. The OCSLA 

requires all parties who are prospecting 

marine minerals for commercial 

purposes to be authorized. The OCSLA 

also requires non-Federal parties (such 

as State agencies and contractors of 

State agencies) to obtain authorization 

from the Secretary to conduct 

noncommercial G&G exploration 

activities (see 43 U.S.C. 1340(a)(1)). 

As a Federal agency, BOEM has a 

responsibility to comply with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), Endangered Species Act, and 

Marine Mammal Protection Act, among 

other environmental laws. This includes 

a substantive duty not to take any 

agency action that may affect a 

protected species, as well as a 

procedural duty to consult with the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service and National 

Marine Fisheries Service, when 

warranted, before engaging in a 

discretionary action that may affect a 

protected species. 

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 the OMB Circular A–25 

authorize Federal agencies to recover 

the full cost of services that confer 

special benefits. All G&G permits for 

commercial prospecting are subject to 

cost recovery, and BOEM regulations 

specify service fees for these requests. 

The authority to carry out these 

responsibilities is contained in 

regulations under 30 CFR 580, as well 

as OCSLA Section 11 (43 U.S.C. 

1340(a)(1)), which is the subject of this 

information collection renewal. BOEM 

uses the information to ensure there is 

no environmental degradation, personal 

harm, or unsafe operations and 

conditions, damage to historical or 

archaeological sites, or interference with 

other uses; to analyze and evaluate 

preliminary or planned mining 

activities; to monitor progress and 

activities in the OCS; to acquire G&G 

data and information collected under a 

Federal permit offshore; and to 

determine eligibility for reimbursement 

from the Government for certain costs. 

Respondents are required to submit 

form BOEM–0134 to provide the 

information necessary to evaluate their 

qualifications, and upon approval, 

respondents are issued a permit or 

authorization. 

BOEM uses the information collected 

to understand the G&G characteristics of 

marine mineral-bearing physiographic 

regions of the OCS. The information 

aids BOEM in obtaining a proper 

balance among the potentials for 

environmental damage, the discovery of 

marine minerals, and associated impacts 

on affected coastal States. 

In this renewal, BOEM is expanding 

the use of form BOEM–0134 to include 

applications to conduct noncommercial 

prospecting (exploration) of marine 

minerals, such as OCS sand, gravel, and 

shell resources for public use. BOEM is 

also updating the form to clarify the 

types of copies being requested, delete 

incorrect language, make 

recommendations for faster processing, 

update addresses, and reference 

environmental mitigation requirements. 

To respond to the types of questions 

BOEM receives on the form, BOEM is 

also clarifying wording, providing 

examples/tables to reduce confusion, 

and clarifying Regional differences, 

when necessary, to further assist 

applicants. BOEM is not asking for more 

information, just outlining current 

requirements in more detail. However, 

to better account for the requirement to 

submit environmental information 

sufficient for the environmental review, 

BOEM is increasing the burden hours 

from 10 to 88 hours for all OCS Regions. 

We are also adding the terms 

‘‘authorization(s)’’ and ‘‘exploration’’ 

throughout the form so that the form 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
23052 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 79 / Friday, April 24, 2015 / Notices 

also serves as the instrument to 

authorize entities to carry out 

noncommercial prospecting 

(exploration) of marine minerals. 

Responses are mandatory or required 

to obtain or retain a benefit. No 

questions of a sensitive nature are 

asked. The BOEM protects information 

considered proprietary according to 30 

CFR 580.70, applicable sections of 30 

CFR parts 550 and 552, and the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552) and its implementing regulations 

(43 CFR 2). 

Frequency: On occasion, annual, or as 

specified in permits. 

Estimated Number and Description of 

Respondents: There are four to seven 

permittees/respondents, including those 

required to only file notices (scientific 

research). 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We 

estimate the burden for this information 

collection to be a total of 488 hours. The 

following table 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.

1Fees are subject to modification per inflation annually. 

2Only permits, not authorizations, are subject to cost recovery. 

3 No requests received for many years. Minimal burden for regulatory (PRA) purposes only. 

4These permits/authorizations are prepared by BOEM and sent to respondents; therefore, the forms themselves do not incur burden hours. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ 

Burden: We have identified one nonhour cost burden for this collection. 

Under § 580.12(a), there is an 

application fee of $2,012 when 

respondents submit a permit application 

(refer to the table above). Respondents 

conducting scientific research are 

required only to file a notice with 

BOEM and are not subject to the cost 

recovery fee. 

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 

concerning this information collection 

on: 

• Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary, including 

whether or not the information will 

have practical utility; 

• The accuracy of our burden 

estimates; 

• Ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

respondents. 

To comply with the public 

consultation process, on December 30, 

2014, BOEM published a Federal 

Register notice (79 FR 78473) 

announcing that we would submit this 

ICR to OMB for approval. This notice 

provided the required 60-day comment 

period. We received two comments. The 

first comment is not germane to the 

collection; and the second comment, 

from North American Submarine Cable 

Association (NASCA), urges BOEM to 

modify form BOEM–0134 to require 

permit applicants to identify and 

coordinate with NASCA with respect to 

submarine cables in the vicinity of any 

planned marine minerals activities. 

BOEM appreciates the detailed 

comments that NASCA submitted. We 

noted the new suggested mitigation 

measures not included in prior NASCA 

comments. Please note that a reference 

to submarine does appear in the form 

itself (under General Requirements of 

Permits and Notices paragraph E). 

Furthermore, we will add ‘‘Submarine 

Cable Coordination’’ to the list of 

Stipulations we attach to every permit. 

The NASCA would need to provide 

points of contact etc., for the permittee. 

The matter would then be dealt with 

between the permittee and NASCA. 

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.
