Comments: Before submitting an ICR 

to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

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 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to perform its 

duties, including whether the 

information is useful; (b) evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate 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 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Performance Measures Data, 

Form MMS–131. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0112. 

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et 

seq.), as amended, requires the Secretary 

of the Interior to preserve, protect, and 

develop OCS oil, gas, and sulphur 

resources; make such resources 

available to meet the Nation’s energy 

needs as rapidly as possible; balance 

orderly energy resources development 

with protection of the human, marine, 

and coastal environments; ensure the 

public a fair and equitable return on the 

resources offshore; and preserve and 

maintain free enterprise competition. 

These responsibilities are among those 

delegated to the BOEMRE. The 

BOEMRE generally issues regulations to 

ensure that operations in the OCS will 

meet statutory requirements; provide for 

safety and protect the environment; and 

result in diligent exploration, 

development, and production of OCS 

leases. 

Beginning in 1991, BOEMRE has 

promoted, on a voluntary basis, the 

implementation of a comprehensive 

Safety and Environmental Management 

Program (SEMP) for the offshore oil and 

gas industry as a complement to current 

regulatory efforts to protect people and 

the environment during OCS oil and gas 

exploration and production activities. 

From the beginning, BOEMRE, the 

industry as a whole, and individual 

companies realized that at some point 

they would want to know the effect of 

SEMP on safety and environmental 

management of the OCS. The natural 

consequence of this interest was the 

establishment of performance measures. 

The BOEMRE will be requesting OMB 

approval for a revision of the 

performance measures data on Form 

MMS–131. Respondents submit Form 

MMS–131 annually during the first 

quarter of each calendar year. This 

collection is considered a revision since 

BOEMRE is changing the way 

respondents will need to fill out the 

form. Respondents will break out the 

information quarterly on the form, but 

submittal will continue to be once a 

year. We have attached instructions and 

the revised form at the end of this 

document as an Appendix. 

The responses to this collection of 

information are voluntary, although we 

consider the information to be critical 

for assessing the effects of the OCS 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 7, 2010 / Notices 54375 

Safety and Environmental Management 

Program. We can better focus our 

regulatory and research programs on 

areas where the performance measures 

indicate that operators are having 

difficulty meeting BOEMRE 

expectations. We are more effective in 

leveraging resources by redirecting 

research efforts, promoting appropriate 

regulatory initiatives, and shifting 

inspection program emphasis. Also, the 

responses will bring the United States 

into the mainstream with other nations’ 

oil and gas regulatory authorities. 

Because the oil and gas development 

and production industry is 

international, operators at work 

domestically are also at work 

internationally. It is important for the 

BOEMRE to be able to compare injury 

and illness outcomes from domestic 

production to those outcomes from 

other domestic industries as well as to 

outcomes from hydrocarbon 

development and production activities 

elsewhere in the world. 

Operators also use the data to make 

individual comparisons of their results 

to those of the industry as a whole and 

evaluate trends. Knowing how the 

offshore operators, as a group, are doing 

and where their own company ranks, 

provides company management with 

information to focus their own 

continuous improvement efforts. This 

leads to more cost-effective prevention 

actions and, therefore, better cost 

containment. 

We will protect information from 

respondents 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.’’ No 

items of a sensitive nature are collected. 

Responses are voluntary. We intend to 

release data collected on Form MMS– 

131 only in a summary format that is 

not company-specific. 

Frequency: The frequency is annual, 

during the first quarter of the year. 

Description of Respondents: Federal 

OCS oil and gas or sulphur lessees and/ 

or operators. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

currently approved hour burden for 

Form MMS–131 is 280 hours. We 

estimate the public reporting burden for 

the revised form will average 10 hours 

per response. This includes the time for 

reviewing instructions, gathering and 

maintaining data, and completing and 

reviewing the information. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified no non-hour cost 

burden associated with Form MMS–131. 

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: Before submitting an ICR 

to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

requires each agency ‘‘* * * to provide

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Cattle Point Road Relocation; Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement; San 

Juan Island National Historical Park; 

San Juan County, WA; Notice of 

Availability 

Summary: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Pub. 

L. 91–190, as amended), and the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations (40 CFR part 1500–1508), 

the National Park Service (NPS), and the 

Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA), Department of Transportation, 

co-lead agencies for this project, in 

cooperation with San Juan County, 

Washington and the Washington State 

Department of Natural Resources, have 

prepared a draft environmental impact 

statement (DEIS) for alternatives 

designed to respond to coastal bluff 

erosion which threatens Cattle Point 

Road located in San Juan Island 

National Historical Park (Park), 

Washington. The DEIS identifies and 

analyzes three ‘‘action’’ alternatives for 

road realignment that respond to agency 

planning requirements and to the 

public’s concerns and relevant 

environmental issues, identified during 

the scoping and early public 

involvement process. The potential 

environmental consequences of the 

alternatives, and appropriate measures 

to minimize or avoid harm, are 

identified and analyzed in the DEIS. An 

‘‘environmentally preferred’’ alternative 

is also identified. 

Background: A portion of the Cattle 

Point Road which terminates on the 

southeastern tip of San Juan Island is 

threatened by coastal erosion at the base 

of the slope traversed by the road. This 

road passes through the Park and serves 

residences on a peninsular area of the 

island known as Cattle Point, as well 

provides public access to the Cattle 

Point Natural Resource Conservation 

Area, managed by the Washington 

Department of Natural Resources (DNR). 

If erosion continues unabated, the 

roadway eventually will fail, disrupting 

vehicular access to these areas. The road 

is currently maintained by San Juan 

County (County); the project area of 

potential effect is primarily within the 

Park. The entire Park is listed on the 

National Register of Historic Places as a 

National Historic Landmark. 

A Notice of Intent to begin the 

conservation planning and 

environmental impact analysis for the 

project was published in the Federal 

Register on February 6, 2004. The NPS 

and the FHWA, along with the County 

and the DNR, organized an 

interdisciplinary team consisting of 

members from the four agencies. A 

previous scoping effort begun by the 

County in 2001 was incorporated into 

the current project. Public engagement 

was initiated through a newsletter and 

news release, followed by two public 

meetings held February 18, 2004, on 

San Juan Island. Project team members 

presented information and gathered 

feedback and ideas on preliminary 

alternatives and potential 

environmental issues. Approximately 30 

public comments were received during 

the scoping period ending March 19, 

2004. 

The project team subsequently 

developed a Scoping Report, which 

described the range of potential 

alternatives identified for more detailed 

analysis, as well as alternatives 

dismissed from further consideration
