SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart A, General, 

GPS (Global Positioning System) for 

MODUs NTL. 

OMB Control Number: 1014–0013. 

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 to administer leasing of 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; 

preserve and maintain free enterprise 

competition; and ensure that the extent 

of oil and natural gas resources of the 

OCS is assessed at the earliest 

practicable time. Section 43 U.S.C. 

1332(6) states that ‘‘operations in the 

outer Continental Shelf should be 

conducted in a safe manner by welltrained personnel using technology, 

precautions, and techniques sufficient 

to prevent or minimize the likelihood of 

blowouts, loss of well control, fires, 

spillages, physical obstruction to other 

users of the waters or subsoil and 

seabed, or other occurrences which may 

cause damage to the environment or to 

property, or endanger life or health.’’ 

To carry out these responsibilities, the 

BSEE issues regulations to ensure that 

operations in the OCS will meet 

statutory requirements; provide for 

safety and protect the environment; and 

result in diligent exploration, 

development, and production of OCS 

leases. In addition, we also issue Notice 

to Lessees (NTLs) that provide 

clarification, explanation, and 

interpretation of our regulations. These 

NTLs are used to convey purely 

informational material and to cover 

situations that might not be adequately 

addressed in our regulations. 

Regulations at 30 CFR part 250 

implement these statutory requirements. 

We use the information for BSEE to 

assess the whereabouts of any facility 

becoming unmoored due to extreme 

weather situations; as well as, to follow 

the path of that facility to determine if 

other facilities/pipelines, etc., were 

damaged in any way. The offshore oil 

and gas industry will use the 

information to determine the safest and 

quickest way to either remove the 

obstacles or to fix and reuse them. 

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: On occasion. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise Federal oil, gas, 

or sulphur lessees and/or operators. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

currently approved annual reporting 

burden for this collection is 9 hours and 

the non-hour cost burden is $150,000. 

The following chart 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.

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: Before submitting an ICR 

to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

37432 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 120 / Thursday, June 21, 2012 / Notices 

collected; and (d) minimize the burden 

on the respondents, including the use of 

technology. 

Agencies must also estimate the nonhour paperwork cost burdens to 

respondents or recordkeepers resulting 

from the collection of information. 

Therefore, if you have other than hour 

burden 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. For further 

information on this burden, refer to 5 

CFR 1320.3(b)(1) and (2), or contact the 

Bureau representative listed previously 

in this notice. 

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 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.

Final Springfield Plateau Regional 

Restoration Plan and Environmental 

Assessment and Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public 

and other agencies of the availability of 

the Final Springfield Plateau Regional 

Restoration Plan (Plan) and 

Environmental Assessment and Finding 

of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The 

U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), 

acting through the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (FWS), and the State of 

Missouri, acting through the Missouri 

Department of Natural Resources 

(MDNR), formally selected Alternative D 

of the Plan through signing of the 

FONSI. Alternative D provides for 

natural resource—based restoration 

using a tiered project selection process 

evaluating the feasibility of primary 

restoration, compensatory restoration, 

and acquisition of equivalent resources. 

Interested members of the public are 

invited to review the Plan. 

ADDRESSES: The Plan can be viewed

Rielly, (573) 526–3353. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FWS and the MDNR (Trustees) 

are trustees for natural resources 

considered in this restoration plan, 

pursuant to subpart G of the National 

Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (40 CFR 300.600 and 

300.610) and Executive Order 12580. 

The Memorandum of Understanding 

Between the Missouri Department of 

Natural Resources and U.S. Department 

of the Interior establishes a Trustee 

Council charged with developing and 

implementing a restoration plan for 

ecological restoration in the Springfield 

Plateau of southwest Missouri. 

The Trustees followed the NRDAR 

regulations found at 43 CFR part 11 for 

the development of the Plan. The 

objective of the NRDAR process is to 

compensate the public for losses to 

natural resources that have been injured 

by releases of hazardous substances into 

the environment. The Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(CERCLA, more commonly known as 

the Federal ‘‘Superfund’’ law) (42 U.S.C. 

9601 et seq.) and the Federal Water 

Pollution Control Act (commonly 

known as the Clean Water Act (CWA)) 

(33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) authorize States, 

federally recognized tribes, and certain 

Federal agencies that have authority for 

natural resources ‘‘belonging to, 

managed by, controlled by or 

appertaining to [the public]’’ to act as 

‘‘trustees’’ on behalf of the public, to 

restore, rehabilitate, replace, and/or 

acquire natural resources equivalent to 

those injured by releases of hazardous 

substances. 

The Trustees have worked together to 

determine appropriate restoration 

activities to address natural resource 

injuries caused by the release of 

hazardous substances into the 

Springfield Plateau environment. The 

results of this administrative process are 

contained in a series of planning and 

decision documents that have been 

published for public review under 

CERCLA. On January 11, 2012, the FWS 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of availability commencing a 45- 

day public comment period on the Draft 

Springfield Plateau Regional Restoration 

Plan and Environmental Assessment (77 

FR 1717). The public comment period 

ended on February 27, 2012. Comments 

received during the public comment 

period were incorporated into our final 

document. 

Current Notice of Availability 

This current notice of availability 

informs the public that the Trustees 

have formally selected Alternative D of 

The Plan through the signing of a 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI). The FONSI indicates that 

restoring, replacing and/or acquiring the 

equivalent of injured resources in the 

Springfield Plateau as described under 

Alternative D in the Final Springfield 

Plateau Regional Restoration Plan (Plan) 

and Environmental Assessment is not a 

major Federal action which would 

significantly affect the quality of the 

human environment within the meaning 

of Section 102(2)(c) of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969. 

Authority 

This notice is provided pursuant to 

Natural Resource Damage Assessment 

and Restoration (NRDAR) regulations 

(43 CFR 11.81(d)(4)) and NEPA 

(National Environmental Policy Act) 

regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).
