Service minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including 

through the use of information 

technology. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to the Office of Management and Budget

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Abstract: The authority of the Service 

to regulate non-Federal oil and gas 

operations on National Wildlife Refuge 

System (NWRS) lands is broadly 

derived from the Property Clause of the 

United States Constitution (Art. IV, Sec. 

3), in carrying out the statutory 

mandates of the Secretary of the 

Interior, as delegated to the Service, to 

manage Federal lands and resources 

under the National Wildlife Refuge 

System Administration Act (NWRSAA), 

as amended by the National Wildlife 

Refuge System Improvement Act 

(NWRSIA; 16 U.S.C. 668dd et seq.), and 

to specifically manage species within 

the NWRS under the provisions of 

numerous statutes, the most notable of 

which are the Migratory Bird Treaty Act 

(MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 715 et seq.), the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.), and the Fish and Wildlife 

Act of 1956 (FWA; 15 U.S.C. 742f). 

The Service’s regulations at 50 CFR, 

part 29, subpart D provide for the 

continued exercise of non-Federal oil 

and gas rights while avoiding or 

minimizing unnecessary impacts to 

national wildlife refuge resources and 

uses. Other land management agencies 

have regulations that address oil and gas 

development, including the Department 

of the Interior’s National Park Service 

and Bureau of Land Management, and 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 

Forest Service. These agencies all 

require the submission of information 

similar to the information requested by 

the Service. 

The collection of information is 

necessary for the Service to properly 

balance the exercise of non-Federal oil 

and gas rights within national wildlife 

refuge boundaries with the Service’s 

responsibility to protect wildlife and 

habitat, water quality and quantity, 

wildlife-dependent recreational 

opportunities, and the health and safety 

of employees and visitors on NWRS 

lands. 

The information collected under 50 

CFR, part 29, subpart D identifies the 

owner and operator (the owner and 

operator can be the same) and details 

how the operator may access and 

develop oil and gas resources. It also 

identifies the steps the operator intends 

to take to minimize any adverse impacts 

of operations on refuge resources and 

uses. No information is submitted 

unless the operator wishes to conduct 

oil and gas operations. 

We use the information collected to: 

(1) Evaluate proposed operations; (2) 

ensure that all necessary mitigation 

measures are employed to protect 

national wildlife refuge resources and 

values; and (3) ensure compliance with 

all applicable laws and regulations, 

including the National Environmental 

Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and 

its regulations (40 CFR parts 1500– 

1508), and the NWRSAA, as amended 

by the NWRSIA, and to specifically 

manage species within the NWRS under 

the provisions of numerous statutes, the 

most notable of which are the MBTA,

the ESA, the Fish and Wildlife 

Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), 

and the FWA. 

Proposed Revisions 

Automation of Application Form via 

ePermits 

With this submission, we are 

proposing to automate FWS Form 3– 

2469 in the Service’s ePermits system, 

an automated permit application system 

that allows the agency to move towards 

a streamlined permitting process to 

reduce public burden. Public burden 

reduction is a priority for the Service; 

the Assistant Secretary for Fish, 

Wildlife, and Parks; and senior 

leadership at the Department of the 

Interior. The intent of ePermits is to 

fully automate the permitting process to 

improve the customer experience and to 

reduce time burden on respondents. 

This system enhances the user 

experience by allowing users to enter 

data from any device that has internet 

access, including personal computers 

(PCs), tablets, and smartphones. It also 

provides the permit applicant with a 

link to pay associated permit 

application fees via the Pay.gov system. 

Financial Assurances Costs 

With this submission, we will seek 

OMB approval of the costs associated 

with the financial assurances 

requirements as they are required per 

regulations contained in 50 CFR 

29.103(b) and 50 CFR 29.150. These 

costs were inadvertently overlooked 

with previous submissions for this 

collection of information, so at this time 

we are bringing this requirement into 

compliance with the PRA as an annual 

non-hour burden cost. The estimated 

annual non-hour cost burden associated 

with the required financial assurances is 

captured below under ‘‘Total Estimated 

Annual Non-Hour Burden Cost.’’ 

Proposed Changes to Application Form 

(FWS Form 3–2469) 

We propose several changes to the 

existing FWS Form 3–2469 to improve 

the user collection experience and our 

internal processing requirements: 

(1) Under the ‘‘Type of Permit’’ on 

page 1, we are adding these categories: 

a. ‘‘New’’—Used by operators 

applying for a new permit to operate 

where no existing Form 3–2469 permit 

exists; 

b. ‘‘Renewal’’—Used by operators 

with a currently approved permit to 

renew the operation without any 

substantial changes; 

c. ‘‘Amendment’’—Used by an 

operator with an existing Form 3–2469 

approved permit to amend their 

operations; and, 

d. ‘‘Extension’’—Used by an operator 

with an existing Form 3–2469 approved 

permit to request an extension to one of 

its conditions (e.g., extend the shut-in 

status of a well). 

(2) Under the ‘‘Production 

Operations’’ on page 1, we are adding 

these sub-categories: 

a. ‘‘Maintenance’’—Used for 

maintenance actions (e.g., need to bring 

in a workover rig); 

b. ‘‘Plugging’’—Used with plugging 

and abandoning of a well; and 

c. ‘‘Reclamation’’—Used with all 

activities remove contaminated soils, 

equipment, pipe, etc., and restore the 

site to its original contours and 

vegetation. 

(3) Under the ‘‘Contact Information’’ 

in Part 1 (on page 2), we propose to add 

two new questions: 

a. ‘‘Tax Identification Number’’; and 

b. ‘‘Do you have operations on other 

refuges? If so, provide the names of 

those refuges.’’

and Gas Operations on National

29, Subpart D.
