SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Paperwork

3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we 

provide the general public and other 

Federal agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on new, proposed, revised, 

and continuing collections of 

information. This helps us assess the 

impact of our information collection 

requirements and minimize the public’s 

reporting burden. It also helps the 

public understand our information 

collection requirements and provide the 

requested data in the desired format. 

A Federal Register notice with a 60- 

day public comment period soliciting 

comments on this collection of 

information was published on May 5, 

2021 (86 FR 23979). No comments were 

received. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we are again soliciting 

comments from the public and other 

Federal agencies on the proposed ICR 

that is described below. We are 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How might the agency 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 response. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. 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. 

Abstract: This control number 

authorizes the BLM to collect 

information that enables in-kind sales of 

helium in accordance with the Helium 

Stewardship Act (50 U.S.C. 167–167q) 

and 43 CFR part 3195. OMB control 

number 1004–0179 is scheduled to 

expire on October 31, 2021. This request 

is for OMB to renew this OMB control 

number for an additional three years. 

There are no program, form, or other 

policy changes proposed with this 

renewal request. The BLM is requesting, 

however, that the burden for this OMB 

control number be adjusted from 240 to 

244 total annual burden hours. The 

change in burden results from changes 

to the number of respondents for each 

information collection (form number) 

approved under this OMB control 

number. 

Title of Collection: Helium Contracts 

(43 CFR part 3195). 

OMB Control Number: 1004–0179. 

Form Numbers: 3195–1; 3195–2; 

3195–3; and 3195–4. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private 

helium merchants that sell a major 

helium requirement (i.e., an amount of 

refined helium greater than 200,000 

standard cubic feet of refined gaseous 

helium or 7,510 liters of liquid helium) 

to a Federal agency or to private helium 

purchasers for use in Federal 

Government contracts. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 40. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 94. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: 6–8 hours. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 642. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: Quarterly for 

the Refined Helium Deliveries Detail 

(Form 3195–4); Annually for the 

Calculation of Excess Refining Capacity 

(Form 3195–1) and Refiners’ Annual 

Tolling Report (Form 3195–2); and On 

occasion for the Refiners’ Tolling 

Occurrence Report (Form 3195–3). 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: None. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor and, notwithstanding any other 

provision of law, a person is not 

required to respond to a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

The authority for this action is the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
