the Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act. All parcels are subject to the 

requirements of section 120(h) (42 

U.S.C. Section 9620) holding the United 

States harmless from any release of 

hazardous materials that may have 

occurred as a result of the unauthorized 

use of the property by other parties. No 

Warranty of any kind, express or 

implied, is given by the United States as 

to the title, physical condition or 

potential uses of the parcel of land 

proposed for sale. 

4. All the parcels are subject to valid 

existing rights. 

The mineral interests being offered for 

conveyance have no known mineral 

value. A successful bid constitutes an 

application for conveyance of the 

mineral interest. In addition to the full 

purchase price, a nonrefundable filing 

fee of $50 will be required by the 

successful bidder for purchase of the 

mineral interests to be conveyed 

simultaneously with the sale of the land 

with the exception of all leasable 

minerals, including oil, gas and 

geothermal interests, which will be 

reserved to the United States in 

accordance with Section 209 of the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1719). 

On February 3, 2009, the above 

described lands will be segregated from 

appropriation under the public land 

laws, including the mining laws, except 

the sale provisions of the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 

U.S.C. 1719). Until completion of the 

sales, the Bureau of Land Management 

is no longer accepting land use 

applications affecting the identified 

public lands, except applications for the 

amendment of previously filed right-ofway applications or existing 

authorizations to increase the term of 

existing grants in accordance with 43 

CFR 2807.15 and 2886.15. The effect of 

segregation will terminate upon 

issuance of a patent, upon publication 

in the Federal Register of a termination 

of the segregation, or March 3, 2011, 

unless extended by the Bureau of Land 

Management, State Director, in 

accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1–2(d) 

prior to the termination date.

Bureau of Land Management will offer 

the adjacent landowner the right to meet 

the highest bid and purchase the lands 

at an amount equal to the highest bid 

price, which must be not less than the 

market value as determined by the 

Secretary. If the adjacent landowner 

declines this offer, the bidder with the

the high bidder. The outside of the bid 

envelope must be clearly marked with 

either ‘‘BLM Land Sale Parcel I—OR– 

61509’’ or ‘‘BLM Land Sale Parcel II— 

OR–62015,’’ and contain a statement

sealed bid shall be accompanied by a 

certified check, postal money order, 

bank draft, or cashier’s check made 

payable to the DOI-Bureau of Land 

Management, for not less than 20 

percent of the amount of the bid. The 

successful bidder shall submit the 

remainder of the full bid price prior to 

the expiration of 180 days from the date 

of the sale. The successful bidder may 

exercise the option to pay in full at any 

time during this period. Failure to 

submit the full bid price, prior to the 

180th day following the sale shall result 

in cancellation of the sale and the 

deposit shall be forfeited.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Historical Well Data Cleanup; 

Wells Without Assigned MMS API 

Numbers—NTL. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0137. 

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; and 

to preserve and maintain free enterprise 

competition. 

The OCSLA at 43 U.S.C. 1332(6) 

states that ‘‘operations in the [O]uter 

Continental Shelf should be conducted 

in a safe manner by well-trained 

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.’’ 

The MMS’s Historical Well Data 

Cleanup requests operators to supply 

missing data or corrected data for wells 

drilled prior to January 2000 that do not 

have an assigned API number. This 

notice announces our intention to 

request a 3-year extension for this 

information collection. 

The information we collect under this 

NTL, is missing data for wellbores that 

MMS has not assigned API numbers and 

other well data discovered as missing 

while completing the well database 

cleanup. We are not able to manage and 

utilize data from drilling operations 

accurately without the information for 

the missing wells. We will use the 

information to identify other well data 

(e.g., logs, surveys, tests) missing from 

our records, geologically map existing 

MMS data to the correct wellbore/ 

location, and correctly exchange 

information with the operators and 

industry. Our geoscientists can use the 

information to evaluate resources for 

lease sales for fair market value. With 

respect to safety concerns, we believe 

that there may be anywhere from 3,000 

to 6,000 unidentified completed and 

abandoned wellbores (bypasses and 

sidetracks), some of which may contain 

stuck drill pipe or other materials. In 

approving permits and other operations 

in an area, it is important for us to know 

what may be adjacent to or near the 

vicinity of the activity we are approving 

to minimize the risk of blowouts, loss of 

well control, and endangerment to life, 

health, and the environment. This is 

particularly important as, over the years, 

the number of wells drilled constantly 

increases, thereby increasing the risk to 

adjacent activities if operators are not 

aware of what might be in the area. 

We will protect information 

respondents submit that is considered 

proprietary under the Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), its 

implementing regulations (43 CFR part 

2), and 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. 

Estimated Number and Description of 

Respondents: Approximately 130 

Federal OCS oil, gas, and sulphur 

lessees. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The 

currently approved annual reporting 

burden for this collection is 15,000 

hours for approximately 6,000 wells, 

based on: 

(1) 0.5 hours to locate and copy a 

summary of drilling operations (e.g., 

scout tickets) for each well. 

(2) 2 hours to retrieve and analyze 

each well file and retrieve other missing 

data. 

There are no recordkeeping 

requirements. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ 

Burden: We have identified no 

paperwork non-hour cost burdens for 

this collection. 

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 

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. 

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 


yshivers on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES

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 Comment Procedures: 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Historic Preservation Certification 

Application—36 CFR Part 67 Form(s): 

10–168 (Evaluation of Significance); 10– 

168a (Description of Rehabilitation); 10– 

168b (Continuation/Amendment Sheet); 

10–168c (Certification of Completed 

Work). 

OMB Control Number: 1024–0009. 

Expiration Date: 9/30/2009. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection of 

information. 

Description of Need: Section 47 of the 

Internal Revenue Code requires that the 

Secretary of the Interior certify to the 

Secretary of the Treasury upon 

application by owners of historic 

properties for Federal tax benefits: (a) 

The historic character of the property, 

and (b) that the rehabilitation work is 

consistent with that historic character. 

The NPS administers the program with 

the Internal Revenue Service. NPS uses 

the Historic Preservation Certification 

Application to evaluate the condition 

and historic significance of buildings 

undergoing rehabilitation for continued 

use, and to evaluate whether the 

rehabilitation work meets the Secretary 

of the Interior’s Standards for 

Rehabilitation. The Department of the 

Interior regulation 36 CFR Part 67 

contains a requirement for completion 

of an application form. The information 

required on the application form is 

needed to allow the authorized officer to 

determine if the applicant is qualified to 

obtain historic preservation 

certifications from the Secretary of the 

Interior. These certifications are 

necessary in order for an applicant to 

receive substantial Federal tax 

incentives authorized by Section 47 of 

the Internal Revenue Code. These 

incentives include 20% Federal income 

tax credit for the rehabilitation of 

historic buildings and an income tax 

deduction for the donation of easements 

on historic properties. The Internal 

Revenue Code also provides 10% 

Federal income tax credit for the 

rehabilitation of non-historic buildings 

built before 1936, and owners of nonhistoric buildings in historic districts 

must also use the application to obtain 

a certification from the Secretary of the 

Interior that their building does not 

contribute to the significance of the 

historic district before they claim this 

lesser tax credit for rehabilitation. The 

obligation to respond is required to 

obtain and retain benefits. 

Description of respondents: 

Individuals or households, businesses 

or other for-profit entities. 

Estimated average number of 

respondents: 4,000 per year. 

Estimated average number of 

responses: 4,000 per year. 

Frequency of Response: 1 per 

respondent. 

Estimated average time burden per 

respondent: 20 hours. 

Estimated total annual reporting 

burden: 80,000 hours per year. 

Comments are invited on: (1) The 

practical utility of the information being 

gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden 

hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information being collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden to 

respondents, including use of 

automated information collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 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.
