(select Information Collection Review, 

Currently Under Review). You may also

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart B, Plans 

and Information. 

Forms: BOEMRE forms 0137, 0138, 

0139, 0141, and 0142. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0151. 

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. Such rules and regulations 

will apply to all operations conducted 

under a lease, right-of-use and 

easement, or unit. Sections 11 and 25 of 

the amended OCS Lands Act require the 

holders of OCS oil and gas or sulphur 

leases to submit exploration plans (EPs) 

and development and production plans 

(DPPs) to the Secretary for approval 

prior to commencing these activities. As 

a Federal agency, we have a continuing 

affirmative duty to comply with the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA). This 

includes a substantive duty to carry out 

any agency action in a manner that is 

not likely to jeopardize protected 

species as well as a procedural duty to 

consult with the Fish and Wildlife 

Service (FWS) and National Oceanic 

and Atmospheric Administration 

Fisheries (NOAA Fisheries) before 

engaging in a discretionary action that 

may affect a protected species. 

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. Several requests for 

approval required in subpart B are 

subject to cost recovery, and BOEMRE 

regulations specify service fees for these 

requests. 

Regulations implementing these 

responsibilities are under 30 CFR part 

250, subpart B. Responses are 

mandatory. No questions of a sensitive 

nature are asked. BOEMRE will protect 

information considered proprietary 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(5 U.S.C. 552), under regulations at 30 

CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data and information to 

be made available to the public or for 

limited inspection,’’ and 30 CFR part 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 190 / Friday, September 30, 2011 / Notices 60857 

252, ‘‘Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil 

and Gas Information Program.’’ 

BOEMRE and other Federal agencies 

(e.g., FWS, NOAA Fisheries, etc.) 

analyze and evaluate the information 

and data collected under subpart B to 

ensure that planned operations are safe; 

will not adversely affect the marine, 

coastal, or human environment; and 

will conserve the resources of the OCS. 

We use the information to: (a) Make an 

informed decision on whether to 

approve the proposed exploration or 

development and production plans as 

submitted, or whether modifications are 

necessary without the analysis and 

evaluation of the required information. 

The affected States also review the 

information collected to determine 

consistency with approved Coastal Zone 

Management (CZM) plans, and (b) 

report annually to NOAA Fisheries the 

effectiveness of mitigation, any adverse 

effects of the proposed action, and any 

incidental take, in accordance with 50 

CFR 402.14(i)(3). 

Respondents are required to submit 

several BOEMRE forms: 0137 (Plan 

Information Form) is submitted to 

summarize plan information and we use 

the information to assist in data entry 

and review of submitted OCS plans; 

0138 (GOM Air Emission Calculations 

for Exploration Plans), and, 0139 (GOM 

Air Emission Calculations for 

Development Operations Coordination 

Documents (DOCDs)) are submitted to 

standardize the way potential air 

emissions are estimated and approved 

as part of the OCS plan. BOEMRE uses 

the data from these forms to determine 

the effect of air emissions on the 

environment; 0141 (ROV Survey Report) 

is submitted to report the observations 

and information recorded from two sets 

of ROV monitoring surveys to identify 

high-density benthic communities that 

may occur on the seafloor in deep water; 

and 0142 (Environmental Impact 

Analysis Worksheet) is submitted to 

identify the environmental impactproducing factors (IPFs) for the listed 

environmental resources. We use the 

information to help assess impacts and 

determine compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act. 

Also, per Secretarial Orders 3299 and 

3022, on October 1, 2011, the oil, gas, 

and renewable energy-related 

management functions of BOEMRE will 

be transferred to a new bureau, Bureau 

of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). 

Therefore, after October 1, the forms 

associated with this collection will be 

designated as BOEM forms; e.g., 

BOEMRE Form 0137 will be designated 

as BOEM–0137. 

Frequency: On occasion, semimonthly, and varies by section. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise Federal oil, gas, 

or sulphur lessees and/or operators. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

estimated annual hour burden for this 

information collection is a total of 

190,480 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.

BILLING CODE 4310–MR–C 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified four non-hour costs 

associated with this information 

collection that are cost recovery fees. 

They consist of fees being submitted 

with EP’s ($3,442), DPP’s or DOCD’s 

($3,971), DWOP’s ($3,336), and CID’s 

($25,629). There is also one non-hour 

cost burden associated with the 

Protected Species Observer Program. 

The cost associated with this program is 

due to observation activities that are 

usually subcontracted to other service 

companies with expertise in these areas. 

Since all of the observation duty and 

reporting would be done while on the 

vessel and by contractors, these 

requirements were calculated as nonhour cost burdens. We estimate that the 

annual total non-hour cost burden is 

$3,597,157, and we have not identified 

any other non-hour cost burdens 

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 July 6, 2011, 

we published a Federal Register notice 

(76 FR 39419) announcing that we 

would submit this ICR to OMB for 

approval. The notice provided the 

required 60-day comment period. In 

addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB 

control number for the information 

collection requirements imposed by the 

30 CFR 250 regulations and form. 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 comment, from the 

Marine Mammal Commission, 

supported our request to OMB. The 

second comment, from the Center for 

Regulatory Effectiveness, requested that 

we should state that we are not 

submitting any ICRs for seismic 

regulations that are 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 NTL 

2007–G02 and 30 CFR part 250, subpart 

B regulations, which are covered under 

OMB Control Number 1010–0151. We 

have no plans, at this time, to change 

the content of or the resultant burdens 

imposed by NTL 2007–G02. Therefore, 

BOEMRE should move forward with the 

required information collection to 

ensure compliance with OMB 

deadlines. If the lawsuit settlement or 

resulting decree requires changes to the 

NTL and/or DOI regulations, 

information collection coordination and 

OMB approval will occur before any 

NTL is reissued or regulations are 

promulgated. 

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

60862 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 190 / Friday, September 30, 2011 / Notices 

disapprove the information collection 

but may respond after 30 days. 

Therefore, to ensure maximum 

consideration, OMB should receive 

public comments by October 31, 2011. 

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.
