this ICR by mail to the BOEM 

Information Collection Clearance 

Officer, Anna Atkinson, Bureau of 

Ocean Energy Management, 45600 

Woodland Road, Sterling, Virginia 

20166; or by email to anna.atkinson@

boem.gov. Please reference OMB Control 

Number 1010–NEW in the subject line

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Anna Atkinson by email at 

anna.atkinson@boem.gov, or by 

telephone at 703–787–1025. Individuals 

in the United States who are deaf, 

deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, BOEM provides 

the general public and other Federal 

agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on new, proposed, revised, 

and continuing collections of 

information. This helps BOEM assess 

the impact of its information collection 

requirements and minimize the public’s 

reporting burden. It also helps the 

public understand BOEM’s information 

collection requirements and provide the 

requested data in the desired format. 

BOEM is soliciting comments on the 

proposed ICR described below. BOEM is 

especially interested in public 

comments addressing the following 

issues: (1) is the collection necessary to 

the proper functions of BOEM; (2) what 

can BOEM do to ensure that this 

information is processed and used in a 

timely manner; (3) is the burden 

estimate accurate; (4) how might BOEM 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(5) how might BOEM minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including minimizing the 

burden through the use of information 

technology? 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice are a matter of public record. 

BOEM will include or summarize each 

comment in its ICR to OMB for approval 

of this information collection. You 

should be aware that your entire 

comment—including your address, 

phone number, email address, or other 

personally identifiable information 

included in your comment—may be 

made publicly available at any time. 

Even if BOEM withholds your 

information in the context of this ICR, 

your comment is subject to the Freedom 

of Information Act (FOIA). If your 

comment is requested under the FOIA, 

your information will only be withheld 

if BOEM determines that one of the 

FOIA exemptions to disclosure applies. 

Such a determination will be made in 

accordance with the Department’s FOIA 

regulations and applicable law. 

In order for BOEM to consider 

withholding from disclosure your 

personally identifiable information, you 

must identify, in a cover letter, any 

information contained in your comment 

that, if released, would constitute a 

clearly unwarranted invasion of your 

privacy. You must also briefly describe 

any possible harmful consequences of 

the disclosure of information, such as 

embarrassment, injury, or other harm. 

Note that BOEM will make available for 

public inspection, in their entirety, all 

comments submitted by organizations 

and businesses, or by individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives of organizations or 

businesses. 

BOEM protects proprietary 

information in accordance with FOIA 

and the Department’s implementing 

regulations. Items of a sensitive nature 

are not intended to be collected. 

Title of Collection: ‘‘Piloting an 

Approach to Community-Informed 

Characterization of Communities with 

Environmental Justice Concerns.’’ 

Abstract: Various Federal statutes, 

including the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA), require BOEM to 

examine the social and economic 

impacts of BOEM-authorized activities 

at the community level. Additionally, 

Federal policy and guidance state that 

agencies should meaningfully engage 

communities with environmental justice 

(EJ) concerns in their decision making. 

(Executive Orders 12898, 13985, and 

14008). 

BOEM plans to pilot an approach to 

community-informed characterization of 

communities with EJ concerns 

potentially impacted by BOEMauthorized activities by selecting nine 

communities to participate in the study. 

The goal of this initiative is to improve 

BOEM’s decision making through more 

detailed environmental analyses that 

include information on the communities 

with EJ concerns that may be affected by 

BOEM-authorized activities. Sections 

within NEPA documents currently 

discuss potential EJ impacts in a general 

sense. To improve its analyses, BOEM 

proposes to obtain information about 

specific potential impacts, unique 

contextual considerations, and the 

potential for detailed mitigation 

measures designed based on the affected 

community. 

Baseline information to support 

community characterization is available 

but could be better applied in analyses 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
75308 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 211 / Thursday, November 2, 2023 / Notices 

to identify local contexts and reflect 

local input. BOEM plans to prepare 

community characterization summaries 

using information obtained from 

members of selected communities with 

EJ concerns to pilot such an approach. 

Community characterizations would 

summarize a community’s history, 

demographics, economic conditions, 

coastal and marine resource use, coastal 

land use, identification of key leaders 

and organizations, and other baseline 

conditions and trends. With these 

summaries readily accessible, BOEM 

analysts will continue improving their 

understanding of the selected affected 

communities with EJ concerns and the 

potential impacts from BOEM-approved 

activities. 

As appropriate, these summaries may 

be included in the relevant 

environmental analyses that inform 

BOEM’s decisions. Furthermore, 

conducting community-informed 

research could advance earlier 

community awareness of BOEM 

activities and increase trust. Gaining 

first-hand information will help 

‘‘ground-truth’’ some of the existing 

information that would be collated into 

the selected community characterization 

summaries. 

BOEM plans to use various methods, 

such as interviews and focus groups, to 

collect information from members of 

approximately three communities with 

EJ concerns in each of the three chosen 

study areas. BOEM seeks comments on, 

and suggestions of, appropriate 

information collection methods and 

study areas. 

BOEM proposes to collect information 

on topics such as those listed below in 

order to inform community 

characterization summaries highlighting 

vulnerabilities, themes, issues, or 

concerns of each selected community. 

Each community summary would 

include relevant history, demographics, 

economics, coastal and marine resource 

use, coastal land use including existing 

facilities, outreach approaches that are 

locally appropriate for that specific 

community with EJ concerns, 

identification of key community leaders 

and organizations, and other baseline 

conditions that will enable BOEM 

analysts to better incorporate specific 

community interests into environmental 

reviews and the decision-making 

process. BOEM is also seeking 

comments on whether other topics 

should be included in the selected 

community characterization summaries.
