EXEMPTIONS: 

The records in EDMS are maintained 

for use in civil rather than criminal 

actions. For that reason, the relevant 

provision of the Privacy Act is 5 U.S.C. 

552a(d)(5) which states ‘‘nothing in this 

[Act] shall allow an individual access to 

any information compiled in reasonable 

anticipation of a civil action or 

proceeding.’’ (See U.S. Department of 

Justice, Office of Privacy and Civil

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR Part 250, subpart L, Oil 

and Gas Production Measurement, 

Surface Commingling, and Security. 

OMB Control Number: 1014–0002. 

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 

(Secretary) to prescribe rules and 

regulations necessary for the 

administration of the leasing provisions 

of the Act related to the mineral 

resources on 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; to balance orderly 

energy resource development with 

protection of human, marine, and 

coastal environments; to ensure the 

public a fair and equitable return on the 

resources of the OCS; and to preserve 

and maintain free enterprise 

competition. 

The Federal Oil and Gas Royalty 

Management Act of 1982 (30 U.S.C. 

1701, et seq.) at section 1712(b)(2) 

prescribes that an operator will 

‘‘develop and comply with such 

minimum site security measures as the 

Secretary deems appropriate, to protect 

oil or gas produced or stored on a lease 

site or on the Outer Continental Shelf 

from theft.’’ 

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 OMB Circular A–25, 

authorize Federal agencies to recover 

the full cost of services that confer 

special benefits. Under the Department 

of the Interior’s (DOI) implementing 

policy, BSEE is required to charge fees 

for services that provide special benefits 

or privileges to an identifiable nonFederal recipient above and beyond 

those which accrue to the public at 

large. Applications for surface 

commingling and measurement 

applications are subject to cost recovery 

and BSEE regulations specify service 

fees for these requests. 

Regulations at 30 CFR Part 250, 

subpart L, implement these statutory 

requirements. We use the information to 

ensure that the volumes of 

hydrocarbons produced are measured 

accurately, and royalties are paid on the 

proper volumes. Specifically, we need 

the information to: 

• Determine if measurement 

equipment is properly installed, 

provides accurate measurement of 

production on which royalty is due, and 

is operating properly; 

• Obtain rates of production data in 

allocating the volumes of production 

measured at royalty sales meters, which 

can be examined during field 

inspections; 

• Ascertain if all removals of oil and 

condensate from the lease are reported; 

• Determine the amount of oil that 

was shipped when measurements are 

taken by gauging the tanks rather than 

being measured by a meter; 

• Ensure that the sales location is 

secure and production cannot be 

removed without the volumes being 

recorded; and 

• Review proving reports to verify 

that data on run tickets are calculated 

and reported accurately. 

We will protect information from 

respondents considered proprietary 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

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

regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under 

regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, Data and 

information to be made available to the 

public or for limited inspection. No 

items of a sensitive nature are collected. 

Responses are mandatory. 

Frequency: Varies by section, but 

primarily monthly, or on occasion. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise Federal oil, gas 

and sulphur lessees and/or operators. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

currently approved annual reporting 

burden for this collection is a total of 

32,957 hours. The following chart 

details the individual components and 

estimated hour burdens. 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.

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified two non-hour cost 

burdens, both of which are cost recovery 

fees. Note that the actual fee amounts 

are specified in 30 CFR 250.125, which 

provide a consolidated table of all the 

fees required under the 30 CFR 250 

regulations. The currently approved 

non-hour cost burden total in this 

collection of information is an estimated 

$600,065. The cost burdens are for: (1)

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Paseo del Morro National 

Recreational Trail Extension, San Juan 

National Historic Site, San Juan, 

Puerto Rico 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4332) (2) (C), the National Park 

Service (NPS) will prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Paseo del Morro National Recreational 

Trail Extension (EIS). The EIS will 

include the involvement of multiple 

entities, including the Municipality of 

San Juan and the Commonwealth of 

Puerto Rico and neighborhoods along 

the trail corridor. Segments of the 

extension within and outside of the NPS 

boundary might include several 

amenities such as: Pedestrian trails, 

bicycle trail, Plaza, access to the Santa 

Maria Magdalena Cemetery, viewpoints, 

pocket seating areas, and drinking 

fountains. The project would be 

constructed in four phases according to 

the segments within the project 

extension. The first segment would run 

parallel to the Santa Maria Magdalena 

Cemetery, the second segment parallel 

to the community of La Perla, the third 

segment along the coastal area of 

Castillo San Cristobal, and the fourth 

segment through the ‘‘Lomita de Los 

Vientos’’. The characteristics of the trail, 

such as width of the primary and 

secondary trails, amenities, 

complementary programs, activities and 

methods of construction, would vary in 

the different segments of the projects. 

The objectives of the project are: To 

create public access to the North Coast 

of the Old San Juan Islet and create 

recreational public space along coastal 

area in front of Old San Juan, protect the 

historic walls of El Morro, encourage 

educational tourism within the area. 

The DEIS will assess potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

a range of reasonable alternatives for 

extension of the Paseo del Morro on
