SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR Part 282, Operations in 

the Outer Continental Shelf for Minerals 

Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0081. 

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 

1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)), authorizes 

the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) 

to implement regulations to grant leases 

of any mineral other than oil, gas, and 

sulphur to qualified parties. This 

regulation governs mining operations 

within the OCS and establishes a 

comprehensive leasing and regulatory 

program for such minerals. This 

regulation has been designed to (1) 

recognize the differences between the 

OCS activities associated with oil, gas, 

and sulphur discovery and 

development, and those associated with 

the discovery and development of other 

minerals; (2) facilitate participation by 

States directly affected by OCS mining 

activities; (3) provide opportunities for 

consultation and coordination with 

other OCS users and uses; (4) balance 

development with environmental 

protection; (5) insure a fair return to the 

public; (6) preserve and maintain free 

enterprise competition; and (7) 

encourage the development of new 

technology. 

The authorities and responsibilities 

described above are among those 

delegated to BOEMRE. This ICR 

addresses the regulations at 30 CFR 282, 

Operations in the Outer Continental 

Shelf for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, 

and Sulphur. Note that there has been 

no activity in the OCS for minerals other 

than oil, gas and sulphur for many years 

and no information collected. However, 

because these are regulatory 

requirements, the potential exists for 

information to be collected; therefore, 

we are requesting a renewal of this 

collection of information. 

Assuming one lease to this ICR is 

mandatory. No questions of a sensitive 

nature are asked. We protect proprietary 

information according to the Freedom of 

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

implementing regulations (43 CFR 2), 30 

CFR 282.5, 282.6, 282.7, and applicable 

sections of 30 CFR parts 280 and 281. 

BOEMRE will use the information 

required by 30 CFR 282 to determine if 

lessees are complying with the 

regulations that implement the mining 

operations program for minerals other 

than oil, gas, and sulphur. Specifically, 

BOEMRE will use the information: 

• To ensure that operations for the 

production of minerals other than oil, 

gas, and sulphur in the OCS are 

conducted in a manner that will result 

in orderly resource recovery, 

development, and the protection of the 

human, marine, and coastal 

environments. 

• To ensure that adequate measures 

will be taken during operations to 

prevent waste, conserve the natural 

resources of the OCS, and to protect the 

environment, human life, and 

correlative rights. 

• To determine if suspensions of 

activities are in the national interest, to 

facilitate proper development of a lease 

including reasonable time to develop a 

mine and construct its supporting 

facilities, or to allow for the 

construction or negotiation for use of 

transportation facilities. 

• To identify and evaluate the 

cause(s) of a hazard(s) generating a 

suspension, the potential damage from a 

hazard(s) and the measures available to 

mitigate the potential for damage. 

• For technical and environmental 

evaluations which provide a basis for 

BOEMRE to make informed decisions to

to be one. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The 

estimated annual hour burden for this 

ICR is a total of 201 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.

$100,000 Non-Hour Cost Burden 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified one cost burden; 

§ 282.13(e)(1), would require a sitespecific study to determine and evaluate 

hazards that results in a suspension of 

operation. Since this has not been done 

to date, BOEMRE estimated that this 

study would cost approximately 

$100,000. There are no other non-hour 

cost burdens associated with the 

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) 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

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 September 7, 

2010, we published a Federal Register 

notice (75 FR 54372) announcing that 

we would submit this ICR to OMB for 

approval. The notice provided the 

required 60-day comment period. In 

addition, § 282.0 provides the OMB 

control number for the information 

collection requirements imposed by the 

30 CFR 282 regulations. The PRA (5 

U.S.C. 1320) informs the public that 

they may comment at any time on the 

collection of information and BOEMRE 

provides the address to which they 

should send comments. We have 

received no comments in response to 

these efforts. 

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. The 

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 February 28, 2011. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Coastal Impact Assistance Program 

(CIAP). 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0170. 

Abstract: With the passage of the 

Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), the 

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, 

Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) 

was given responsibility for the Coastal 

Impact Assistance Program (CIAP) 

through the amendment of Section 31 of 

the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act 

(43 U.S.C. 1356a Appendix A). 

CIAP recognizes that impacts from 

Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and 

gas activities fall disproportionately on 

the coastal states and localities nearest 

to where the activities occur, and where 

associated facilities are located. CIAP 

legislation appropriates money for 

eligible states and coastal political 

subdivisions for coastal restoration/ 

improvement projects. BOEMRE shall 

disburse $250 million to eligible 

producing states and coastal political 

subdivisions (CPSs) through a grant 

program. The funds allocated to each 

state are based on the proportion of 

qualified OCS revenues offshore the 

individual state to total qualified OCS 

revenues from all states. In order to 

receive funds, the states submit their 

CIAP plans detailing how the funds will 

be expended. Alabama, Alaska, 

California, Louisiana, Mississippi, and 

Texas are the only eligible states under 

EPAct. Counties, parishes or equivalent 

units of government within those states 

lying all or in part within the coastal 

zone, as defined by section 304(1) of the 

Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) 

1972, as amended, are the Coastal 

Political Subdivisions (CPSs) eligible for 

CIAP funding, a total of 67 local 

jurisdictions. All funds will be 

disbursed through a grant process. 

In September 2006, CIAP draft 

guidelines were written and later 

revised in May 2007. Information was 

needed from the government 

jurisdictions to meet all the 

requirements of the CIAP State Plan 

Guidelines as well as requirements on 

the procurement contracts. To approve 

a plan, legislation requires that the 

Secretary of the Interior must be able to 

determine that the funds will be used in 

accordance with EPAct criteria and that 

projects will use the funds according to 

the EPAct. To confirm appropriate use 

of funds, BOEMRE requires affirmation 

of grantees meeting Federal, state, and 

local laws and adequate project 

descriptions. 

This ICR is required to fulfill the 

requirements of the BOEMRE CIAP 

grant program. 

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). No items of 

a sensitive nature are collected. 

Responses are required to obtain or 

retain benefits. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Estimated Number and Description of 

Respondents: Approximately 6 states 

and 67 CPSs.

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
