SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0072. 

Title: 30 CFR Part 580, Prospecting for 

Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and 

Sulphur on the Outer Continental Shelf. 

Form: BOEM–0134. 

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 mineral resources 

on the OCS. An amendment to the OCS 

Lands Act (Pub. L. 103–426) authorizes 

the Secretary to negotiate agreements (in 

lieu of the previously required 

competitive bidding process) for the use 

of OCS sand, gravel, and shell resources 

for specified types of public uses. Such 

specified uses will support construction 

of governmental projects for beach 

nourishment, shore protection, and 

wetlands enhancement or constitute a 

project authorized by the Federal 

Government. 

Section 1340 states that ‘‘* * * any 

person authorized by the Secretary may 

conduct geological and geophysical 

[G&G] explorations in the outer 

Continental Shelf, which do not 

interfere with or endanger actual 

operations under any lease maintained 

or granted pursuant to this Act, and 

which are not unduly harmful to aquatic 

life in such area.’’ Section 1352 further 

requires that certain costs be reimbursed 

to the parties submitting required G&G 

information and data. Regulations 

implementing these responsibilities are 

in 30 CFR Part 580 and are the 

responsibility of the Bureau of Ocean 

Energy Management (BOEM). 

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. Prospecting permits are 

subject to cost recovery under 

Department of the Interior’s 

implementing policy, and BOEM 

regulations specify service fees for these 

requests. 

We use the information collected 

under these regulations to: (1) Ensure 

there is no environmental degradation, 

personal harm or unsafe operations and 

conditions; (2) ensure activities do not 

damage historical or archaeological sites 

or interfere with other uses; (3) analyze 

and evaluate preliminary or planned 

drilling activities; (4) monitor progress 

and activities in the OCS; (5) acquire 

G&G data and information collected 

under a Federal permit offshore; (6) 

determine eligibility for reimbursement 

from the Government for certain costs; 

and (7) determine the qualifications of 

applicants. BOEM also uses the 

information collected to understand the 

G&G characteristics of hard mineralbearing physiographic regions of the 

OCS. 

We will protect information 

considered proprietary according to 30 

CFR 580.70, ‘‘What data and 

information will be protected from 

public disclosure?’’ 30 CFR 550.197, 

‘‘Data and information to be made 

available to the public or for limited 

inspection,’’ 30 CFR part 552, ‘‘OCS Oil 

and Gas Information Program,’’ and the 

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

552) and its implementing regulations 

(43 CFR 2). No items of a sensitive 

nature are collected. Responses are 

mandatory. 

Frequency: On occasion; and as 

required in the permit. 

Description of Respondents: 

Permittee(s). 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

estimated annual hour burden for this 

collection is 128 hours. The following 

table 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.

** These permits are prepared by BOEM and sent to respondents; therefore, the forms themselves do not incur burden hours. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified one non-hour 

paperwork cost burden for this 

collection: A $2,012 permit application 

fee. 

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 

obliged to respond. 

Comments: On August 24, 2011, we 

published a Federal Register notice (76 

FR 52963) announcing that we would 

submit this ICR to OMB for approval. 

The notice provided the required 60-day 

comment period. We received two 

comments in response. One did not 

pertain to the information collection, 

and the other expressed support for 

competitive bidding processes. 

In addition, § 580.80 provides the 

OMB control number for the 

information collection requirements 

imposed by the 30 CFR 580 regulation, 

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 again request comments on this 

information collection on: (1) Whether 

or not the collection of information is 

necessary, including whether or not the 

information is useful; (2) the accuracy of 

our estimate of the burden for this 

collection of information; (3) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden on the 

respondents. 

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.
