SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: 30 CFR Part 280, Prospecting for 

Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and 

Sulphur on the Outer Continental Shelf. 

BOEMRE Form(s): 0134. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0072. 

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 prescribe rules and regulations to 

administer leasing of mineral resources 

on the OCS. 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 project authorized by the Federal 

Government. 

Section 1340 states that ‘‘* * * any 

person authorized by the Secretary may 

conduct geological and geophysical 

[G&G] explorations in the Outer 

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.’’ 

Section 1352 further requires that 

certain costs be reimbursed to the 

parties submitting required G&G 

information and data. Permittees are to 

be reimbursed costs of reproducing any 

G&G data required to be submitted and 

for the reasonable cost of processing 

geophysical information required to be 

submitted when processing is in a form 

or manner required by the Director and 

is not used in the normal conduct of the 

business of the permittee. Regulations 

implementing these responsibilities are 

in 30 CFR part 280. 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. Prospecting permits are 

subject to cost recovery under 

Department of the Interior’s 

implementing policy, and BOEMRE 

regulations specify service fees for these 

requests. 

We use the information: (1) To ensure 

there is no environmental degradation, 

personal harm or unsafe operations and 


wreier-aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
52964 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 164 / Wednesday, August 24, 2011 / Notices 

conditions; (2) the activities do not 

damage historical or archaeological sites 

or interfere with other uses; (3) to 

analyze and evaluate preliminary or 

planned drilling activities; (4) to 

monitor progress and activities in the 

OCS; (5) to acquire G&G data and 

information collected under a Federal 

permit offshore; (6) to determine 

eligibility for reimbursement from the 

Government for certain costs; and (7) to 

determine the qualifications of 

applicants. BOEMRE also uses the 

information collected to understand the 

G&G characteristics of hard mineralbearing physiographic regions of the 

OCS. 

We will protect information 

considered proprietary according to 30 

CFR 280.70, ‘‘What data and 

information will be protected from 

public disclosure?’’, 30 CFR 250.197, 

‘‘Data and information to be made 

available to the public or for limited 

inspection,’’ 30 CFR part 252, ‘‘OCS Oil 

and Gas Information Program,’’ and the 

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

552) and its implementing regulations 

(43 CFR 2). No items of a sensitive 

nature are collected. Responses are 

mandatory. 

Frequency: On occasion; and as 

required in the permit. 

Description of Respondents: 

Permittee(s). 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

currently approved annual reporting 

burden for this collection is 116 hours. 

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.

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, 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. Agencies must also 

estimate the non-hour paperwork 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 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 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.
