Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 89 / Wednesday, May 9, 2007 / Notices 26421 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’

Burden: We have identified two 

paperwork ‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens 

associated with this collection of 

information (see Hour and Fee Burden 

table). One is a $1,200 simple fee and 

the other is a $3,550 complex fee for a 

total of $1,154,700. 

Simple fee applications are to 

temporarily reroute production (for a 

duration not to exceed six months); 

production tests prior to pipeline 

construction; departures related to 

meter proving, well testing, or sampling 

frequency. 

Complex fee applications are for 

creations of new facility measurement 

points (FMPs); association of leases or 

units with existing FMPs; inclusion of 

production from additional structures; 

meter updates which add buy-back gas 

meters or pigging meters; other 

applications which request deviations 

from the approved allocation 

procedures. 

The application filing fees are 

required to recover the Federal 

Government’s processing costs. We have 

not identified any other ‘‘non-hour cost’’

burdens associated with this collection 

of information. 

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: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) 

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. 

To comply with the public 

consultation process, on October 3, 

2006, we published a Federal Register 

notice (71 FR 58429) announcing that 

we would submit this ICR to OMB for 

approval. The notice provided the 

required 60-day comment period. In 

addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB 

control number for the information 

collection requirements imposed by the 

30 CFR 250 regulations. The regulation 

also informs the public that they may 

comment at any time on the collections 

of information and provides the address 

to which they should send comments. 

We received one comment in response 

to these efforts, but it was not germane 

to the paperwork requirements. 

If you wish to comment in response 

to this notice, you may send your 

comments to the offices listed under the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. OMB 

has up to 60 days to approve or 

disapprove the information collection 

but may respond after 30 days. 

Therefore, to ensure maximum 

consideration, OMB should receive 

public comments by June 8, 2007. 

Public Comment Procedures: The 

MMS’s practice is to make comments, 

including names and addresses of 

respondents, available for public 

review. If you wish your name and/or 

address to be withheld, you must state 

this prominently at the beginning of 

your comment. The MMS will honor the 

request to the extent allowable by the 

law; however, anonymous comments 

will not be considered. There may be 

circumstances in which we would 

withhold from the record a respondent’s 

identity, as allowable by the law. If you 

wish us to withhold your name and/or 

address, you must state this 

prominently at the beginning of your 

comment. In addition, you must present 

a rationale for withholding this 

information. This rationale must 

demonstrate that disclosure ‘‘would 

constitute an unwarranted invasion of 

privacy.’’ Unsupported assertions will 

not meet this burden. In the absence of 

exceptional, documentable 

circumstances, this information will be 

released. All submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, will be 

made available for public inspection in 

their entirety.
