Management (BOEM) is inviting 

comments on a collection of information 

that we will submit to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. The information 

collection request (ICR) concerns the 

paperwork requirements in the 

regulations under 30 CFR 556, Leasing 

of Sulphur or Oil and Gas in the OCS; 

30 CFR 550, Subpart J, Pipelines and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0006. 

Title: 30 CFR Part 556, Leasing of 

Sulphur or Oil and Gas in the OCS; 30 

CFR Part 550, Subpart J, Pipelines and 

Pipeline Rights-of-Way; and 30 CFR Part 

560 OCS Oil and Gas Leasing. 

Forms: BOEM–0150, 0151, 0152, 

2028, 2028A, 2030. 

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 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; balance 

orderly energy resource development 

with protection of human, marine, and 

coastal environments; ensure the public 

a fair and equitable return on the 

resources of the OCS; and preserve and 

maintain free enterprise competition. 

Also, the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA) 

prohibits certain lease bidding 

arrangements (42 U.S.C. 6213(c)). 

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 Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) Circular A–25, authorize 

Federal agencies to recover the full cost 

of services that provide special benefits. 

Under the Department of the Interior’s 

(DOI) implementing policy, the Bureau 

of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is 

required to charge the full cost for 

services that provide special benefits or 

privileges to an identifiable non-Federal 

recipient above and beyond those that 

accrue to the public at large. 

Instruments of transfer of a lease or 

interest are subject to cost recovery, and 

BOEM regulations specify the filing fee 

for these transfer applications. 

This notice concerns the reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements of 

BOEM regulations at 30 CFR Part 556, 

Leasing of Sulphur or Oil and Gas in the 

OCS; 30 CFR Part 550, Subpart J, 

Pipelines and Pipeline Rights-of-Way; 

30 CFR Part 560, OCS Oil and Gas 

Leasing; as well as the related Notices 

to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that 

clarify and provide additional guidance 

on some aspects of these regulations. 

This ICR also concerns the use of forms 

to process bonds, transfer interest in 

leases, and file relinquishments. 

• BOEM–0150, Assignment of Record 

Title Interest in Federal OCS Oil and 

Gas Lease, 

• BOEM–0151, Assignment of 

Operating Rights Interest in Federal 

OCS Oil and Gas Lease, 

• BOEM–0152, Relinquishment of 

Federal OCS Oil and Gas Lease, 

• BOEM–2028, OCS Mineral Lessee’s 

and Operator’s Bond, 

• BOEM–2028A, OCS Mineral 

Lessee’s and Operator’s Supplemental 

Plugging and Abandonment Bond, 

• BOEM–2030, OCS Pipeline Rightof-Way Grant Bond. 

BOEM uses the information collected 

to determine if applicants are qualified 

to hold leases in the OCS, to assign a 

qualification number to avoid 

respondent submission of information 

already on file; develop the semiannual 

List of Restricted Joint Bidders; ensure 

the qualification of transferees and track 

operators on leaseholds; document that 

a leasehold or geographical subdivision 

has been surrendered by the record title 

holder; and ensure that adequate funds 

are secured to complete existing and 

future bond obligations. 

We will protect information from 

respondents considered proprietary 

according to section 26 of the OCS 

Lands Act, the Freedom of Information 

Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing 

regulations (43 CFR part 2), 30 CFR 

556.10(d). No items of a sensitive nature 

are collected. Responses are mandatory 

or are required to obtain a benefit. 

Frequency: On occasion or annual. 

Description of Respondents: 

Respondents comprise Federal oil, gas, 

or sulphur lessees and/or operators. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect 

the annual reporting burden estimate for 

this collection to be 16,235 hours. The 

following table details the individual 

components and respective hour burden 

estimates of this ICR.

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

Sections 556.63 and 556.64 require 

respondents to pay service fees when 

submitting a request for transfer of 

record title interest or operating rights 

interest ($198) and to file documents for 

record purposes ($29). The service fees 

are required to recover the Federal 

Government’s processing costs. These 

fees reflect the recent adjustment for 

inflation that became effective February 

2, 2013 (78 FR 5836, 1/28/13). 

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 on: (a) Whether or not the 

collection of information is necessary, 

including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the burden estimates; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden on respondents. 

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 costs or annual 

operation, maintenance, and purchase 

of service costs. 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, 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
66070 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 213 / Monday, November 4, 2013 / Notices 

and record storage facilities. You should 

not include estimates for equipment or 

services purchased: (a) Before October 1, 

1995; (b) to comply with requirements 

not associated with the information 

collection; (c) for reasons other than to 

provide information or keep records for 

the Government; or (d) 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 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.

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of information collection: 

Revision of a currently approved 

collection. 

(2) The title of the form/collection: 

ViCAP Case Submission Form, FD–676. 

(3) The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

department sponsoring the collection: 

Form 676; Critical Incident Response

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: State and local 

government law enforcement agencies 

charged with the responsibility of 

investigating violent crimes. 

Established by the Department of 

Justice in 1985, ViCAP serves as the 

national repository for violent crimes; 

specifically: 

Homicides and attempted homicides 

that involve an abduction, are 

apparently random, motiveless, or 

sexually oriented, or are known or 

suspected to be part of a series. 

Sexual assaults committed by a 

stranger, or those known or suspected to 

be part of a series. 

Missing persons where the 

circumstances indicate a strong 

possibility of foul play and the victim is 

still missing. 

Unidentified human remains where 

the manner of death is known or 

suspected to be homicide. 

Comprehensive case information 

submitted to ViCAP is maintained in the 

ViCAP Web National Crime Database 

and is automatically compared to all 

other cases in the database to identify 

similarities. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: Of the approximately 18,000 

government entities that are eligible to 

submit cases, it is estimated that thirty 

to fifty percent will actually submit 

cases to ViCAP. The time burden of the 

respondents is less than 60 minutes per 

form. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with this 

collection: There are approximately 

5000 hours, annual burden, associated 

with this information collection.
