Abstract: The information collection 

request concerns the paperwork 

requirements in the regulations under 

30 CFR part 580, Prospecting for 

Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and 

Sulphur on the Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS), as well as authorizations of 

noncommercial geological and 

geophysical (G&G) prospecting and 

scientific research activities issued 

pursuant to Section 11 of the Outer 

Continental Shelf Lands Act, as 

amended (43 U.S.C. 1340). 

The OCS Lands Act authorizes the 

Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to 

prescribe rules and regulations to 

administer leasing of mineral resources 

on the OCS. Section 8(k)(1) of the OCS 

Lands Act, 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)(1), 

authorizes the Secretary ‘‘. . . to grant 

to the qualified persons offering the 

highest cash bonuses on a basis of 

competitive bidding leases of any 

mineral other than oil, gas, and sulphur 

in any area of the [O]uter Continental 

Shelf not then under lease for such 

mineral upon such royalty, rental, and 

other terms and conditions as the 

Secretary may prescribe at the time of 

offering the area for lease.’’ 

Section 11(a)(1) of the OCS Lands Act, 

43 U.S.C. 1340(a)(1), states that ‘‘. . . 

any person authorized by the Secretary 

may conduct geological and geophysical 

explorations in the [O]uter Continental 

Shelf, which do not interfere with or 

endanger actual operations under any 

lease maintained or granted pursuant to 

this subchapter, and which are not 

unduly harmful to aquatic life in such 

area.’’ Under 30 CFR part 580, G&G 

exploration to be performed by any 

person on unleased lands or lands 

under lease to a third party requires 

issuance of a BOEM permit or 

submission of a scientific research 

notice. Section 1340(g) further requires 

that permits for geologic exploration 

will only be issued if it is determined 

that the applicant for such permit is 

qualified; the exploration will not 

interfere with or endanger operations 

under any lease; and the exploration 

will not be unduly harmful to aquatic 

life, result in pollution, create 

hazardous or unsafe conditions, 

unreasonably interfere with other uses 

of the area, or disturb any site, structure, 

or object of historical or archaeological 

significance. 

Prospecting for marine minerals 

includes certain aspects of exploration 

as defined in the OCS Lands Act at 43 

U.S.C. 1331(k). That section defines the 

term ‘‘exploration’’ to mean the process 

of searching for minerals, including 

conducting ‘‘geophysical surveys where 

magnetic, gravity, seismic, or other 

systems are used to detect or 

characterize the presence of such 

minerals. . . .’’ 

As a Federal agency, BOEM has a 

responsibility to comply with the 

National Environmental Policy Act (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), Endangered Species 

Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and Marine 

Mammal Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 1361 

et seq.), among other environmental 

laws. Compliance with the Endangered 

Species Act includes a substantive duty 

to carry out any agency action in a 

manner that is not likely to jeopardize 

protected species or result in adverse 

modification of designated critical 

habitat, as well as a procedural duty to 

consult with the United States Fish and 

Wildlife Service (USFWS) and National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration Fisheries (NOAA 

Fisheries) before engaging in a 

discretionary action that may affect a 

protected species. 

Respondents are required to submit 

form BOEM–0134 to provide the 

information necessary to evaluate their 

request to conduct G&G prospecting, 

exploration or scientific research 

activities, and upon approval, 

respondents are issued a permit or 

authorization. BOEM uses the 

information to ensure there is no 

adverse effect to the marine, coastal, or 

human environment, nor personal harm, 

unsafe operations and conditions, or 

unreasonable interference with other 

uses; to analyze and evaluate 

preliminary or planned mining 

activities; to monitor progress of 

activities in the OCS; to acquire G&G 

data and information collected under a 

Federal permit offshore; and to 

determine eligibility for reimbursement 

from the Government for certain costs. 

BOEM uses the information collected 

to understand the G&G characteristics of 

marine mineral-bearing physiographic 

regions of the OCS. The information 

aids BOEM in analyzing and weighing 

the potential for environmental damage, 

the discovery of marine minerals, and 

any associated impacts on affected 

coastal States. 

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 the OMB Circular A–25 

authorize Federal agencies to recover 

the full cost of services that confer 

special benefits. Accordingly, all G&G 

permits for commercial prospecting are 

subject to cost recovery, and BOEM 

regulations at 30 CFR 580.12 specify the 

service fees for these requests. 

BOEM protects proprietary 

information in accordance with the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552) and the Department of the 

Interior’s implementing regulations (43 

CFR part 2), and under regulations at 30 

CFR 580.70, as well as applicable 

sections of 30 CFR parts 550 and 552. 

Title of Collection: 30 CFR 580, 

Prospecting for Minerals other than Oil, 

Gas, and Sulphur on the Outer 

Continental Shelf and Authorizations of 

Noncommercial Geological and 

Geophysical Activities. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0072. 

Form Number: BOEM–0134, 

Requirements for Geological and 

Geophysical Prospecting, Exploration, 

or Scientific Research on the Outer 

Continental Shelf Related to Minerals 

Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Permittees/respondents, including those 

required to only file notices (scientific 

research). 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 38. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 485 hours. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory 

or Required to Obtain or Retain a 

Benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion, 

annual, or as specified in permits. 

Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour 

Cost: $4,024. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect 

the burden estimate for the renewal will 

be 485 hours, which is a decrease of 3 

burden hours. 

In calculating the burden, requesting 

Governor(s) comments on activities 

pursuant to 30 CFR 580.31(b) and 30 

CFR 580.73 does not constitute 

information collection under 5 CFR 

1320.3(h)(4). These requests for 

comment are general solicitations of 

public comment, so BOEM has removed 

the burden hours associated with this 

burden. 

The following table details the 

individual BOEM components and 

respective hour burden estimates of this 

ICR.
