12772 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 37 / Monday, February 25, 2013 / Notices 

According to Section 104(e)(1) of the 

Housing and Community Development 

Act of 1974, HUD is responsible for 

reviewing grantees’ compliance with 

applicable requirements and their 

continuing capacity to carry out their 

programs. Grant funds are made 

available to states and units of general 

local government, Indian tribes, and 

insular areas, unless provided otherwise 

by supplemental appropriations statute, 

based on their unmet disaster recovery 

needs. 

The recent Hurricane Sandy 

supplemental appropriation (Pub. L. 

113–2) provides funding for Hurricane 

Sandy disaster recovery efforts and 

other eligible events in 2011, 2012 and 

2013. The appropriation directs the 

Department to address these efforts in 

areas of greatest unmet need. The 

Department estimates that this will add 

40 new grants to the portfolio currently 

overseen by the Disaster Recovery and 

Special Issues Division in the Office of 

Block Grant Assistance. This revision 

updates the previously approved DRGR 

PRA information collection to account 

for the increase in burden hours 

associated with these new CDBG–DR 

grants. Information collection 

requirements for NSP and NSP–TA 

grants will remain unchanged from the 

previously approved collection. 

Agency form numbers, if applicable: 

SF–424 Application for Federal 

Assistance. 

Members of affected public: DRGR is 

used to monitor CDBG–DR, NSP, and 

NSP–TA grants, as well as several 

programs that do not fall under the 

Office of Block Grant Assistance. 

Separate information collections have 

been submitted and approved for these 

programs. CDBG–DR and NSP grant 

funds are made available to states and 

units of general local government, 

Indian tribes, and insular areas, unless 

provided otherwise by supplemental 

appropriations statute. NSP–TA grant 

funds are awarded on a competitive 

basis and are open to state and local 

governments, as well as non-profit 

groups and consortia that may include 

for-profit entities. 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the 

Information collection including 

number of respondents, frequency of 

response, and hours of response: 

Community Development Block Grant 

Disaster Recovery (CDBG–DR) Grants: 

The DRGR system has approximately 72 

open CDBG disaster recovery grants. An 

additional 40 grants are anticipated as a 

result of the Hurricane Sandy 

appropriation. HUD requires each 

grantee to report their performance into 

the system quarterly. In addition, 

grantees submit vouchers for drawdown 

of funds as needed. Some grantees have 

more than one open grant under 

different appropriation rules and are 

required to report on grants separately. 

For average sized grantees (<$100m in 

grant funds), the Department estimates 9 

hours for quarterly reporting in DRGR. 

Larger grantees with funds in excess of 

$100M+ require a substantially greater 

number of reporting activities, thus 

averaging approximately 57 hours per 

quarter. The estimated annual total 

number of hours for Disaster Grant 

reporting is 11,485 for the first year of 

this collection (which includes one-time 

only submissions) and 10,977 for the 

second year (recurring reporting only). 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: This notice precedes a 

continuation of the existing burden hour 

request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart K, Oil and 

Gas Production Requirements. 

Form(s): BSEE–0126 and -0128. 

OMB Control Number: 1014–0019. 

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-way, or a right-ofuse and easement. Operations on the 

OCS must preserve, protect, and 

develop oil and natural gas resources in 

a manner that is consistent with the 

need to make such resources available 

to meet the Nation’s energy needs as 

rapidly as possible; to balance orderly 

energy resource development with 

protection of human, marine, and 

coastal environments; to ensure the 

public a fair and equitable return on the 

resources of the OCS; and to preserve 

and maintain free enterprise 

competition. 

Section 5(a) of the OCS Lands Act 

requires the Secretary to prescribe rules 

and regulations ‘‘to provide for the 

prevention of waste, and conservation of 

the natural resources of the Outer 

Continental Shelf, and the protection of 

correlative rights therein’’ and to 

include provisions ‘‘for the prompt and 

efficient exploration and development 

of a lease area.’’ 

Section 1334(g)(2) states ‘‘* * * the 

lessee shall produce such oil or gas, or 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 37 / Monday, February 25, 2013 / Notices 12773 

both, at rates * * * to assure the 

maximum rate of production which may 

be sustained without loss of ultimate 

recovery of oil or gas, or both, under 

sound engineering and economic 

principles, and which is safe for the 

duration of the activity covered by the 

approved plan.’’ 

In addition to the general authority of 

OCSLA, section 301(a) of the Federal 

Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act 

(FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants 

authority to the Secretary to prescribe 

such rules and regulations as are 

reasonably necessary to carry out 

FOGRMA’s provisions. While the 

majority of FOGRMA is directed to 

royalty collection and enforcement, 

some provisions apply to offshore 

operations. For example, section 

109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30 U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) 

and (d)(1), impose substantial civil 

penalties for failure to permit lawful 

inspections and for knowing or willful 

preparation or submission of false, 

inaccurate, or misleading reports, 

records, or other information. The 

Secretary has delegated some of the 

authority under FOGRMA to BSEE. 

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. Under the Department 

of the Interior’s implementing policy, 

the Bureau of Safety and Environmental 

Enforcement (BSEE) is required to 

charge the full cost for services that 

provide special benefits or privileges to 

an identifiable non-Federal recipient 

above and beyond those that accrue to 

the public at large. Several requests for 

approval required in Subpart K are 

subject to cost recovery and BSEE 

regulations specify service fees for these 

requests. 

In addition, BSEE also issues various 

Notices to Lessees (NTLs) and Operators 

to clarify and provide additional 

guidance on some aspects of the 

regulations, as well as forms to capture 

the data and information. The current 

Subpart K regulations specify the use of 

forms BSEE–0126 (Well Potential Test 

Report) and BSEE–0128 (Semiannual 

Well Test Report). We have included a 

certification statement, on both forms, to 

state that false submissions are subject 

to criminal penalties. Also, we clarified 

some sections of Form BSEE–0126. 

These clarifications pose minor edits 

and they are as follows: In Block No. 88, 

TYPE OF REQUEST, we added the word 

‘Reestablish’; in Block No. 108, we 

revised what read ‘API @ 60° F’ to now 

read as ‘API @ 14.73 PSI & 60° F’; and 

in Block No. 109, we revised what read 

‘SP GR GAS’ to now read as ‘SP GR GAS 

@ 14.73 PSI & 60°F’. 

Regulations implementing these 

responsibilities are under 30 CFR part 

250, subpart K. Responses are 

mandatory or are required to obtain or 

retain a benefit. No questions of a 

sensitive nature are asked. The BSEE 

protects 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 

250.197, Data and information to be 

made available to the public or for 

limited inspection, 30 CFR Part 252, 

OCS Oil and Gas Information Program. 

The information collected under 

Subpart K is used in our efforts to 

conserve natural resources, prevent 

waste, and protect correlative rights, 

including the Federal Government’s 

royalty interest. Specifically, BSEE uses 

the information to: 

• Evaluate requests to burn liquid 

hydrocarbons and vent and flare gas to 

ensure that these requests are 

appropriate; 

• Determine if a maximum 

production or efficient rate is required; 

and, 

• Review applications for downhole 

commingling to ensure that action does 

not result in harm to ultimate recovery. 

We collect the information required 

under this Subpart for reservoir, 

reserves, and conservation analyses, 

including the determination of 

maximum production rates (MPRs) 

when necessary for certain oil and gas 

completions and to evaluate the results 

of well tests to determine if reservoirs 

are being depleted in a manner that will 

lead to the greatest ultimate recovery of 

hydrocarbons. 

Frequency: On occasion, daily, 

monthly, semi-annual, annual, and as 

required by regulations. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise OCS 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 

20,312 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.

$4,593,246 non-hour cost burdens 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified four non-hour cost 

burdens associated with the collection 

of information for a total of $4,593,246. 

Three are service fees required to 

recover the Federal Government’s 

processing costs of certain submissions. 

The fourth cost is an IC equipment 

expenditure. They are as follows: 

§ 250.1156 requires a service fee when 

submitting a request for approval to 

produce within 500 feet of a unit or 

lease line—$3,608. 

§ 250.1157 requires a service fee when 

submitting a request for approval 

before producing gas-cap gas from 

each completion in an oil reservoir 

known to have an associated gas cap, 

or to continue producing if an oil 

reservoir is not initially known to 

have an associated gas cap, but begins 

to show characteristics of a gas well— 

$4,592. 

§ 250.1158 requires a service fee for 

submitting a request for approval to 

downhole commingle hydrocarbons— 

$5,357. 

§ 250.1163 requires respondents to 

purchase and install gas meters to 

measure the amount of gas flared or 

vented gas for those that produce 

more than 2,000 bopd and do not 

already have a meter or need to 

replace a meter—$77,000. 

We have not identified any other nonhour 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 

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 September 26, 

2012, we published a Federal Register 

notice (77 FR 59209) 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 part 250, subpart K regulations 

and forms. 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 one comment in response to 

the Federal Register. We offer the 

following in response: the commenter 

states that we are not following the 

OMB guidance for reducing reporting 

and paperwork burdens. In our opinion, 

we believe that the commenter’s 

proposal would not be ‘‘reducing 

reporting and paperwork burden’’. That 

is, it appears the commenter is 

suggesting that operators submit flare/ 

vent records to BSEE via ‘‘Web page, 

tablet device, or smartphone’’. If that is 

the case, we would be increasing the 

reporting burden as industry is NOT 

now required to submit such 

information to BSEE, i.e., operators only 

have to maintain the records on the 

facility and make them available during 

offshore inspections. Of course, new 

regulations would be needed to require 

such submittals to BSEE and we would 

not pursue such a requirement as 

operators report this information 

monthly to ONRR on the OGOR reports 

(which are submitted electronically). As 

far as reducing ‘‘paperwork burdens’’, 

we don’t believe that is applicable 

under the commenter’s proposal either 

as industry can store their records 

offshore in an electronic system as long 

as they are available for offshore 

inspection. 

Relating to the Items on BSEE–0126, 

the commenter is correct. The items 

containing the ‘‘q’’, are simply a ‘‘check 

box’’ on the physical form.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Availability of Comments 

The Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

prohibits activities with endangered and 

threatened species unless a Federal 

permit allows such activities. Along 

with our implementing regulations in 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 

50 CFR 17, the Act provides for permits, 

and requires that we invite public 

comment before issuing these permits. 

A permit granted by us under section 

10(a)(1)(A) of the Act authorizes 

applicants to conduct activities with 

U.S. endangered or threatened species
