Notice of Availability

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Miles City District, Montana, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section

202 of the Federal Land Policy and

Management Act of 1976 and section

102(2)(C) of the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969, a supplement to the

Big Dry Resource Management Plan and

Environmental Impact Statement (RMP/

EIS) has been prepared for the Calypso

Trail, Big Dry Resource Area. The 1996

Calypso Trail Supplement to the Big Dry

RMP/EIS describes and analyzes future

options for management of the Calypso

Trail.

Management for the Calypso Trail was

addressed in the 1993 Draft Big Dry

RMP/EIS and the 1995 Proposed Big Dry

RMP and Final EIS. Eight protests, some

with multiple signatures, were received

by the Director, protesting the Calypso

Trail decision. In May 1996, a Record of

Decision was issued approving all of the

decisions made in the 1995 Proposed

Big Dry RMP and Final EIS with one

exception, the decision pertaining to

management of Calypso Trail.

Further planning was conducted in

late 1995 for the Calypso Trail. A Notice

of Intent to conduct further planning

was issued in the Federal Register

October 4, 1995. The notice also

informed the public that comments,

concerns, or information would be

considered until November 13, 1995.

The notice announced an open house

meeting, held October 19, 1995 in Miles

City. Written comments were received

from organizations and individuals. All

comments were considered during the

preparation of the Supplement.

Reading copies will be available at the

Custer, Prairie, and Fallon County

public libraries and at the following

Bureau of Land Management locations:

Office of External Affairs, Main Interior

Building, Room 5800, 18th and C Streets

NW., Washington, DC; External Affairs

Office, Montana State Office, 222 North

32nd Street, Billings, MT; and Miles

City District Office, 111 Garryowen

Road, Miles City, MT.

The RMP process includes an

opportunity for review through a plan

protest to the Bureau of Land
29130 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 111 / Friday, June 7, 1996 / Notices

Management’s Director. Any person or

organization who participated in the

planning process and has an interest

which is, or may be, adversely affected

by approval of this Supplement to the

RMP may protest the plan. Careful

adherence to the following guidelines

will assist in preparing a protest:

• Only those persons or organizations

who participated in the planning

process may protest.

• A protesting party may raise only

those issues which were commented on

during the planning process.

• Additional issues may be raised at

any time and should be directed to the

Miles City District for consideration in

plan implementation, as potential plan

amendments, or as otherwise

appropriate.

In order to be considered complete, a

protest must contain, at a minimum, the

following information:

1. The name, mailing address,

telephone number, and interest of the

person filing the protest.

2. A statement of the issue being

protested.

3. A statement of the portion of the

plan being protested. To the extent

possible, this should be done by

reference to the specific pages,

paragraphs, and sections in the

proposed management plan.

4. A copy of all documents addressing

the issue submitted during the planning

process or a reference to the date the

issue was discussed for the record.

5. A concise statement explaining

why the BLM State Director’s decision

is believed to be incorrect is a critical

part of the protest. Take care to

document all relevant facts and

references or cite the planning

documents, environmental analysis

documents, and available planning

records (meeting minutes, summaries,

correspondence). A protest without any

data will not provide the BLM with

sufficient information, and the

Director’s review will be based on

existing analysis and supporting data.

DATES: The period for filing protests

begins when the Environmental

Protection Agency publishes a Notice of

Receipt of the Supplement in the

Federal Register. The protest period

lasts 30 days and there is no provision

for any time extension. To be

considered ‘‘timely’’ the protest must be

postmarked no later than the last day of

the 30-day protest period. Although not

a requirement, sending a protest by

certified mail, return receipt requested,

is recommended.

ADDRESSES: All protests must be filed in

writing to: Director (480), Bureau of

Land Management, Resource Planning

Team, 1849 C Street NW., Washington,

DC 20240.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Calypso Trail is a road that separates

two roadless areas that make up the

Terry Badlands Wilderness Study Area.

The Supplement analyzes four

alternatives to resolve management for

the Calypso Trail: Alternative A is

existing management where off-road

vehicle use is allowed on the Calypso

Trail. Under Alternative B, off-road

vehicle use would be closed on the

Calypso Trail, which by definition

closes the road to motorized vehicles,

except for authorized use. Alternative C

is the same as Alternative A. The

proposed decision, Alternative D, is to

manage Calypso Trail as was presented

in the 1993 Draft Big Dry RMP/EIS. BLM

proposes to keep the trail open to

motorized vehicles and off-road vehicle

use would be limited to the trail itself.

Minerals Management Service

Agency Information Collection

Activities; Proposed Collection;

Comment Request

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort

to reduce paperwork and respondent

burden, the Minerals Management

Service (MMS) invites the public and

other Federal agencies to comment on a

request to reinstate with change a

collection of information contained in

an interim final rule for 30 CFR Part

203, Relief or Reduction in Royalty

Rates.

DATES: Submit written comments by

August 6, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments

to the Department of the Interior;

Minerals Management Service; Mail

Stop 4700; 381 Elden Street; Herndon,

Virginia 22070–4817; Attention: Chief,

Engineering and Standards Branch.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marshall Rose, Chief, Economic

Evaluation Branch, Resource Evaluation

Division, Minerals Management Service,

telephone (703) 787–1536.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: 30 CFR Part 203, Relief or

Reduction in Royalty Rates.

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf

Lands Act (OCSLA) and the Deep Water

Royalty Relief Act (DWRRA) give the

Secretary of the Interior the authority to

reduce or eliminate royalty or any net

profit share set forth in Outer

Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and gas

leases to promote increased production.

MMS is issuing an interim rule to

establish the terms and conditions for

granting reductions in royalty rates

under the OCSLA and royalty

suspension volumes under the DWRRA

for certain leases in existence before

November 28, 1995. It also defines the

information required for a complete

application as required by 43 U.S.C.

1337(a)(3)(C). The interim final rule was

published in the Federal Register on

May 31, 1996 (61 FR 27263).

The MMS uses the information to

determine whether granting a royalty

relief request will result in the

production of resources that would not

be produced without such relief. An

application for royalty relief must

contain sufficient financial, economic,

reservoir, geologic and geophysical,

production, and engineering data and

information for MMS to determine

whether relief should be granted

according to applicable law. The

application also must be sufficient to

determine whether the requested relief

will result in an ultimate increase in

resource recovery and receipts to the

Federal Treasury and provide for

reasonable returns on project

investments.

The applicant’s requirement to

respond is related only to a request to

obtain royalty relief. The applicant has

no obligation to make such a request.

The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

provides that an agency may not

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not

required to respond to a collection of

information unless it displays a

currently valid Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) control number.

The MMS requested OMB to approve

emergency processing of this collection

of information to coincide with the

effective date of the interim final rule.

This notice provides the full notice and

comment period requirement.

Description of Respondents: Federal

OCS oil and gas lessees.

Frequency: On occasion.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

130 lessees making an estimated 54

applications per year.

Estimate of Burden: Average of 835

hours per response.

Estimate of Total Annual Burden

Hours: 45,080 burden hours.
