Information on Submitting Comments 

a. Freedom of Information Act 

BOEM will protect privileged or 

confidential information that you 

submit when required by the Freedom 

of Information Act (FOIA). Exemption 4 

of FOIA applies to trade secrets and 

commercial or financial information 

that is privileged or confidential. If you 

wish to protect the confidentiality of 

such information, clearly label it and 

request that BOEM treat it as 

confidential. BOEM will not disclose 

such information if BOEM determines 

under 30 CFR 585.114(b) that it qualifies 

for exemption from disclosure under 

FOIA. Please label privileged or 

confidential information ‘‘Contains 

Confidential Information’’ and consider 

submitting such information as a 

separate attachment. 

BOEM will not treat as confidential 

any aggregate summaries of such 

information or comments not containing 

such privileged or confidential 

information. Information that is not 

labeled as privileged or confidential 

may be regarded by BOEM as suitable 

for public release. 

b. Personally Identifiable Information 

BOEM discourages anonymous 

comments. Please include your name 

and address as part of your comment. 

You should be aware that your entire 

comment, including your name, 

address, and any other personally 

identifiable information (PII) that you 

include, may be made publicly 

available. All comments from identified 

individuals, businesses, and 

organizations will be available for 

public viewing on regulations.gov. Note 

that BOEM will make available for 

public inspection all comments, in their 

entirety, submitted by organizations and 

businesses, or by individuals identifying 

themselves as representatives of 

organizations or businesses. 

For BOEM to consider withholding 

your PII from disclosure, you must 

identify any information contained in 

your comments that, if released, would 

constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of your personal privacy. You 

must also briefly describe any possible 

harmful consequences of the disclosure 

of information, such as embarrassment, 

injury, or other harm. Even if BOEM 

withholds your information in the 

context of this notice, your comment is 

subject to FOIA. If your comment is 

requested under FOIA, BOEM will 

withhold your information only if it 

determines that one of FOIA’s 

exemptions to disclosure applies. Such 

a determination will be made in 

accordance with the Department’s FOIA 

regulations and applicable law. 

c. Section 304 of the NHPA (54 U.S.C. 

307103(a)) 

After consultation with the Secretary, 

BOEM is required to withhold the 

location, character, or ownership of 

historic resources if it determines that 

disclosure may, among other things, risk 

harm to the historic resources or impede 

the use of a traditional religious site by 

practitioners. Tribal entities should 

designate information that falls under 

section 304 of NHPA as confidential. 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 4231 et seq.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written 

comments and suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies concerning 

the proposed collection of information 

are encouraged. Your comments should 

address one or more of the following 

four points: 

—Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Bureau of Justice 

Statistics, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

—Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

—Evaluate whether and if so how the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected can be 

enhanced; and 

—Minimize the burden of the collection 

of information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms 

of information technology, e.g., 

permitting electronic submission of

Abstract: The President issued a 

Proclamation on Granting Pardon for the 

Offense of Simple Possession Marijuana 

(Proclamation) on October 6, 2022. In 

that proclamation, he directed the 

Attorney General, acting through the 

Pardon Attorney, to develop procedures 

to ‘‘administer and effectuate the 

issuance of certificates of pardon to 

eligible applicants . . . . as soon as 

reasonably practicable.’’ The 

Proclamation specifically commands the 

Pardon Attorney to ‘‘develop and 

announce application procedures.’’ 

Accordingly, the Pardon Attorney had 

developed the subject form to collect 

information from potential pardon 

recipients, which was granted full 

approval under OMB Number 0123– 

0014, on September 5, 2023. 

On December 22, 2023, the President 

issued a second proclamation that 

broadened the pardon to additional 

persons convicted of simple possession 

of marijuana under Federal or D.C. code 

law. 

The second proclamation expanded 

the statutes of conviction eligible for a 

pardon, the circumstances under which 

eligible persons have been pardoned, 

and the time frame covered by the 

pardon. Consequently, the number of 

persons eligible to apply for a certificate 

proving the pardon has also increased. 

Importantly, there is virtually no 

change to the burden that an individual 

applicant will incur: the application 

continues to ask applicants to confirm 

that the petitioner is U.S. citizen or 

lawful permanent resident who was 

lawfully in the country at the time the 

marijuana offense occurred; information 

regarding their current citizenship 

status, and if naturalized, the date or if 

a lawful permanent resident, the date 

that status was attained; the alien 

registration or citizenship number of a
