SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR 551, Geological and 

Geophysical (G&G) Explorations of the 

Outer Continental Shelf. 

Form: BOEM–0327, Application for 

Permit to Conduct Geological or 

Geophysical Exploration for Mineral 

Resources or Scientific Research on the 

Outer Continental Shelf. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0048. 

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. 

The OCS Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1340) 

also 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 OCS Lands 

Act, and which are not unduly harmful 

to aquatic life in such area.’’ The section 

further requires that permits to conduct 

such activities may only be issued if it 

is determined that the applicant is 

qualified; the activities are not 

polluting, hazardous, or unsafe; they do 

not interfere with other users of the 

area; and they do not disturb a site, 

structure, or object of historical or 

archaeological significance. Applicants 

for permits are required to submit form 

BOEM–0327 to provide the information 

necessary to evaluate their 

qualifications. Upon approval, 

respondents are issued a permit. In this 

collection, the form is being modified to 

clarify for potential permittees existing 

requirements in light of new 

technologies. In particular, BOEM–0327 

clarifies the type(s) of information and 

maps submitted as identified in 

Attachment 1, sections A, General 

Information, B & C Geological and 

Geophysical Exploration for Minerals 

and Scientific Research, and primarily 

D, Proprietary Information. These 

modifications reflect information and 

technology currently used and 

developed by industry. 

The OCS Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1352) 

further requires that certain costs be 

reimbursed to the parties submitting 

required G&G information and data. 

Under the OCS Lands Act, permittees 

are to be reimbursed for the costs of 

reproducing any G&G data required to 

be submitted. Permittees are to be 

reimbursed also for the reasonable cost 

of processing geophysical information 

required to be submitted when 

processing is in a form or manner 

required by the Director, BOEM, and is 

not used in the normal conduct of the 

business of the permittee. 

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. All G&G permits are 

subject to cost recovery, and BOEM 

regulations specify service fees for these 

requests. 

Effective October 1, 2011, the 

Department’s responsibilities for 

leasing, exploration, and development 

of the nation’s offshore resources 

became the responsibility of the Bureau 

of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), 

per Secretarial Order 3299. Regulations 

to carry out these responsibilities are 

contained in 30 CFR 551 (previously 

assigned under 30 CFR 251). This 

request is a revision of the currently 

approved information collection (IC) 

because we are revising form BOEM– 

0327 to adapt to new advances in 

technology. 

Responses to this collection are 

mandatory or required to obtain or 

retain a benefit. No questions of a 

sensitive nature are asked. BOEM 

protects proprietary information 

according to the Freedom of Information 

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

regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under 

regulations at 30 CFR 551. 

BOEM uses the information to ensure 

there is no environmental degradation, 

personal harm or unsafe operations and 

conditions, damage to historical or 

archaeological sites, or interference with 

other uses; to analyze and evaluate 

preliminary or planned drilling 

activities; to monitor progress and 

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 information collected to 

understand the G&G characteristics of 

oil- and gas-bearing physiographic 

regions of the OCS. It aids the Secretary 

in obtaining a proper balance among the 

potentials for environmental damage, 

the discovery of oil and gas, and adverse 

impacts on affected coastal states. 

Information from permittees is 

necessary to determine the propriety 

and amount of reimbursement. 

Form BOEM–0327 is submitted under 

this part to determine if permittees have 

the necessary qualifications pertinent to 

G&G explorations or scientific research. 

This ICR also clarifies of the type(s) of 

information and maps submitted as 

identified in Attachment 1, sections A, 

General Information, B & C Geological 

and Geophysical Exploration for 

Minerals and Scientific Research, and 

primarily D, Proprietary Information of 

the form. These clarifications reflect 

information and technology currently 

used and developed by industry, in 

areas such as energy sources, navigation 

and location, maps, and charts, etc. This 

information can also be used to satisfy 

other environmental compliance 

requirements and is completed by 

industry in their normal course of 

business and does not represent any 

new or additional burden hours. 

Frequency: Responses are generally 

on occasion or as specified in each 

permit. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise Federal oil, gas, 

or sulphur lessees and holders of 

pipeline rights-of-way. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

estimated annual hour burden for this 

information collection is a total of 1,033 

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.

* The non-hour cost burdens that are associated with cost recovery monies collected are based on actual submittals through Pay.gov for FY 

2010. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified one non-hour cost 

burden for this collection of 

information. Under § 551.5(a) there is an 

application fee of $2,012 when 

respondents submit a permit 

application. We have not identified any 

other non-hour cost burden 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 June 30, 2011, 

we published a Federal Register notice 

(76 FR 38412) announcing that we 

would submit this ICR to OMB for 

approval. The notice provided the 

required 60-day comment period. In 

addition, § 551.15 provides the OMB 

control number for the information 

collection requirements imposed by the 

30 CFR 551 regulation. 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 two comments in response 

to the Federal Register notice. The first 

commenter, the Marine Mammal 

Commission stated that it was in 

support of our submission to OMB. The 

second commenter, Center for 

Regulatory Effectiveness, requested two 

actions. One, that we should state that 

we are not submitting any ICR for 

seismic regulations that is more 

stringent than current regulations, 

including NTL 2007–G02. Response: For 

the renewal of this ICR, we are not 

requesting anything more stringent than 

in current 30 CFR 551 regulations; NTL 

2007–G02 is covered under OMB 

Control Number 1010–0151. Second, 

that we wait to submit the ICR to OMB. 

There is current on-going litigation 

pertaining to seismic regulations (BOEM 

vs environmental plaintiff(s)). Response: 

This particular ICR renewal pertains 

mostly to revising the form currently in 

use due to new developments in 

technology; we are not requesting any 

new requirements. If the lawsuit 

settlement or decree requires changes to 

the form and/or DOI regulations, 

information collection coordination and 

OMB approval will occur before the 

form is reissued or regulations are 

promulgated. 

Public Availability of Comments: 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail 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.
