SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0081. 

Title: 30 CFR 582, Operations in the 

Outer Continental Shelf for Minerals 

Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur. 

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 to 

implement regulations to grant to the 

qualified persons, offering the highest 

cash bonus on a basis of competitive 

bidding, leases of any mineral other 

than oil, gas, and sulphur. This applies 

to any area of the OCS not then under 

lease for such mineral. These 

regulations govern mining operations 

within the OCS for minerals other than 

oil, gas and sulphur and establishes a 

comprehensive leasing and regulatory 

program for such minerals. These 

regulations have 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) ensure a 

fair return to the public; and (6) 

preserve and maintain free enterprise 

competition. 

Regulations at 30 CFR part 582 

implement these statutory requirements. 

There has been no activity in the OCS 

for minerals other than oil, gas and 

sulphur for many years; however, 

because these are regulatory 

requirements, the potential exists for 

information to be collected. Therefore, 

we are renewing OMB approval for this 

information collection. 

We will use the information required 

by 30 CFR part 582 to determine if 

lessees are complying with the 

regulations that implement the mining 

operations program for minerals other 

than oil, gas, and sulphur. BOEM will 

also use the information to ensure that 

such operations are conducted in a 

manner that will result in orderly 

resource recovery, development, and the 

protection of the human, marine, and 

coastal environments and for technical 

and environmental evaluations that 

assist BOEM in making informed 

decisions to approve, disapprove, or 

require modification of the proposed 

activities. 

We protect proprietary information 

according to the Freedom of Information 

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

regulations (43 CFR 2), and 30 CFR 

582.5, 582.6, and applicable sections of 

30 CFR parts 580 and 581. No items of 

a sensitive nature are collected. 

Responses are mandatory. 

Frequency: Monthly; quarterly; on 

occasion. 

Estimated Number and Description of 

Respondents: As there are no active 

respondents, we estimated the potential

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 93 / Wednesday, May 14, 2014 / Notices 27637 

annual number of respondents to be 

one. Potential respondents are OCS 

lessees. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect 

the burden estimate for the renewal will 

be 212 hours. This submission also 

removes the requirements and burdens 

that were transferred to the 

responsibility of the Bureau of Safety 

and Environmental Enforcement under 

Secretarial Order No. 3299, May 19, 

2010. The following table details the 

individual BOEM 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.
