SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0176. 

Title: 30 CFR 585, Renewable Energy 

and Alternate Uses of Existing Facilities 

on the Outer Continental Shelf. 

Forms: BOEM–0002, BOEM–0003, 

BOEM–0004, BOEM–0005, BOEM– 

0006. 

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 issue leases, easements, or rights-ofway on the OCS for activities that 

produce or support production, 

transportation, or transmission of energy 

from sources other than oil and gas 

(renewable energy). Specifically, 

subsection 8(p) of the OCS Lands Act, 

as amended by section 388 of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–58), 

directs the Secretary of the Interior to 

issue any necessary regulations to carry 

out the OCS renewable energy program. 

The Secretary delegated this authority to 

the Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management (BOEM). 

The BOEM has issued regulations at 

30 CFR part 585 that establish 

procedures for administering the 

renewable energy program on the OCS 

and for authorizing other energy and 

marine-related activities that involve the 

alternate use of existing facilities on the 

OCS. This notice concerns the reporting 

and recordkeeping elements required by 

these regulations. 

Respondents operating under these 

regulations conduct commercial and 

noncommercial technology projects that 

include installation, construction, 

operation and maintenance, and 

decommissioning of offshore facilities, 

as well as possible onshore support 

facilities. The BOEM must ensure that 

these activities and operations on the 

OCS are performed in a safe and 

environmentally sound manner, do not 

interfere with the rights of other users 

on the OCS, and balance the protection 

and development of OCS resources. 

Therefore, BOEM needs information 

concerning the proposed activities, 

facilities, safety equipment, inspections 

and tests, and natural and manmade 

hazards near the site, as well as 

assurance of fiscal responsibility. 

The BOEM uses forms to collect some 

information to ensure proper and 

efficient administration of OCS 

renewable energy leases and grants and 

to document the financial responsibility 

of lessees and grantees. Forms BOEM– 

0002, BOEM–0003, BOEM–0004, and 

BOEM–0006 are used by renewable 

energy entities on the OCS to designate 

an operator and to assign or relinquish 

a lease or grant. Form BOEM–0005 is 

used to procure and submit a bond for 

the purpose of meeting financial 

assurance requirements as set forth in 

the regulations. As a result of 

respondent input, BOEM is rewording 

one line on BOEM–0005 to match 

language on a similar form for the oil 

and gas program; this does not change 

the burden. The BOEM maintains the 

submitted forms as official lease and 

grant records pertaining to operating 

responsibilities, ownership, and 

financial responsibility. 

We will protect information 

considered proprietary under the 

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

552) and its implementing regulations 

(43 CFR part 2) and under regulations at 

30 CFR 585.113, addressing disclosure 

of data and information to be made 

available to the public and others. No 

items of a sensitive nature are collected. 

Responses are mandatory or required to 

obtain a benefit. 

Frequency: On occasion or annually. 

Description of Respondents: 

Companies interested in renewable 

energy-related uses on the OCS and 

holders of leases and grants under 30 

CFR Part 585. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

estimated annual hour burden for this 

collection is 30,902 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.

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

The estimated non-hour cost burdens 

total $3,816,000. The non-hour cost 

burdens consist of service fees for 

BOEM document/study preparation, 

costs for paying a contractor instead of 

BOEM, and costs for a site-specific 

study and report to evaluate the cause 

of harm to natural resources. 

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.

13706 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 40 / Thursday, February 28, 2013 / Notices 

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 

collection is necessary or useful; (b) 

evaluate the accuracy 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 

technology. 

To comply with the public 

consultation process, on October 10, 

2012, BOEM published a Federal 

Register notice (77 FR 61633) 

announcing that we would submit this 

ICR to OMB for approval. This notice 

provided the required 60-day comment 

period. We received one comment. The 

Marine Mammal Commission states that 

BOEM’s reporting requirements provide 

a systematic and uniform method to 

track compliance with regulations, 

including those that protect marine 

resources. Therefore, the Commission 

supports BOEM’s request to OMB to 

approve the renewal of this collection. 

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.
