Title: Dominican Republic-Central 

America-United States Free Trade 

Agreement (CAFTA–DR). 

OMB Number: 1651–0125. 

Form Number: None. 

Abstract: On August 5, 2004, the 

United States entered into the 

Dominican Republic-Central AmericaUnited States Free Trade Agreement 

with Costa Rica, the Dominican 

Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, 

Honduras, and Nicaragua (also known 

as CAFTA–DR). The Agreement was 

approved by Congress in section 101(a) 

of the Dominican Republic-Central 

America-United States Free Trade 

Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L. 

109–53, 119 Stat. 462) (19 U.S.C. 4001) 

and provides for preferential tariff 

treatment of certain goods originating in 

one or more of the CAFTA–DR 

countries. It was signed into law on 

August 2, 2005.

are eligible for preferential tariff 

treatment or duty refunds under 

CAFTA–DR, CBP collects information 

such as name and contact information 

for importer and exporter; information 

about the producer of the good; a 

description of the good; the HTSUS 

tariff classification; and the applicable 

rule of origin. In addition, a certification 

and supporting documents may be 

requested by CBP in order to 

substantiate the claim for preferential 

tariff treatment. This collection of 

information is provided for by 19 CFR 

10.583 through 19 CFR 10.592. 

Current Actions: CBP proposes to 

extend the expiration date of this 

information collection with no change 

to the burden hours or to the 

information collected. 

Type of Review: Extension (without 

change). 

Affected Public: Businesses. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,500. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

10,000. 

Annual Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 4. 

Estimated Time per Response: 24 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 4,000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart J, 

Pipelines and Pipeline Rights-of-Way. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0050. 

Form(s): BSEE–0149. 

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 

necessary for the administration of the 

leasing provisions of the Act related to 

mineral resources on the OCS. Such 

rules and regulations will apply to all 

operations conducted under a lease, 

right-of-way, or a right-of-use and 

easement. Section 1334(e) authorizes 

the Secretary to grant ROWs through the 

submerged lands of the OCS for 

pipelines ‘‘ * * * for the transportation 

of oil, natural gas, sulphur, or other 

minerals, or under such regulations and 

upon such conditions as may be 

prescribed by the Secretary, * * * 

including (as provided in section 

1347(b) of this title) assuring maximum 

environmental protection by utilization 

of the best available and safest 

technologies, including the safest 

practices for pipeline burial. 

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. Pipeline ROWs and 

assignments are subject to cost recovery, 

and BSEE regulations specify filing fees 

for applications. 

Regulations at 30 CFR 250, subpart J, 

implement these statutory requirements. 

We use the information to ensure those 

activities are performed in a safe 

manner. BSEE needs information 

concerning the proposed pipeline and 

safety equipment, inspections and tests, 

and natural and manmade hazards near 

the proposed pipeline route. BSEE uses 

the information to review pipeline 

designs prior to approving an 

application for an ROW or lease term 

pipeline to ensure that the pipeline, as 

constructed, will provide for safe 

transportation of minerals through the 

submerged lands of the OCS. They 

review proposed pipeline routes to 

ensure that the pipeline would not 

conflict with any State requirements or 

unduly interfere with other OCS 

activities. BSEE reviews proposals for 

taking pipeline safety equipment out of 

service to ensure alternate measures are 

used that will properly provide for the 

safety of the pipeline and associated 


jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 233 / Monday, December 5, 2011 / Notices 75895 

facilities (platform, etc.). They review 

notification of relinquishment of an 

ROW grant and requests to abandon 

pipelines to ensure that all legal 

obligations are met and pipelines are 

properly abandoned. BSEE monitors the 

records concerning pipeline inspections 

and tests to ensure safety of operations 

and protection of the environment and 

to schedule their workload to permit 

witnessing and inspecting operations. 

Information is also necessary to 

determine the point at which DOI or 

Department of Transportation (DOT) has 

regulatory responsibility for a pipeline 

and to be informed of the identified 

operator if not the same as the ROW 

holder. 

The following form is also submitted 

to BSEE under subpart J. The form and 

its purpose is: 

BSEE–0149—Assignment of Federal 

OCS Pipeline Right-of-Way Grant: BSEE 

uses the information to track the 

ownership of pipeline ROWs; as well as 

use the information to update the 

corporate database that is used to 

determine what leases are available for 

a Lease Sale and the ownership of all 

OCS leases. 

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) and under 

regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data 

and information to be made available to 

the public or for limited inspection.’’ No 

items of a sensitive nature are collected. 

Responses are mandatory. 

Frequency: On occasion, annual. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents include lessees, operators, 

and holders of pipeline ROWs. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

currently approved annual reporting 

burden for this collection is 76,864 

hours. The following chart details the 

individual components and respective 

hour burden estimates of this ICR. 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.
