Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 18, 2007 / Notices 53261 

Monitoring wildlife populations and 

habitats, restoring habitats, and other 

management activities could occur yearround. Year-round or seasonal field 

camps would be rotated among the 

Refuges so that a more complete 

understanding of annual cycles and 

fluctuations in wildlife populations 

would be possible. 

Alternative D. Under Alternative D, a 

year-round field camp and would be 

rotated among the Refuges. A Service 

owned and operated vessel would be an 

integral and required component of this 

alternative. Surveys and monitoring 

activities under this alternative would 

provide the greatest understanding and 

most effective management of refuge 

resources. Scientific research would be 

encouraged and enhanced, with an 

opportunity for the Refuges to serve as 

baseline sites for global climate change 

research.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 5 CFR

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning a collection of information 

to solicit comments on: 

(a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

functioning of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of our estimates of 

the information collection burden, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions we use; 

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information 

collected; and

The Naval Petroleum Reserves 

Production Act of 1976, as amended (42 

U.S.C. 6501 et seq.), the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 

U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.), and 43 CFR subparts, 3133, 3135, 

3137, and 3138 require affected oil and 

gas operators and operating rights 

owners to maintain records and provide 

information to apply for suspensions of 

royalty; apply for suspensions of 

operations, form and maintain until 

agreements; and to enter into subsurface 

storage agreements, respectively. All 

recordkeeping burdens hours are 

associated with the nonform 

information requested. 

The reporting burden of each 

provision for the information collection, 

including recordkeeping, depends on 

which information is required. The 

respondents are oil and gas operators 

and operating rights owners. The 

frequency of response varies from onetime only to occasional to routine, 

depending on activities conducted. We 

estimated 35 responses per year and 492 

total annual burden hours. We base this 

estimate on our experience managing 

the program. The table below 

summarizes our estimates.
