SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR Part 291, Open and 

Nondiscriminatory Access to Oil and 

Gas Pipelines under the OCS Lands Act. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0172. 

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; 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. 

Section 1334(f)(1) states ‘‘Except as 

provided in paragraph (2), every permit, 

license, easement, right-of-way, or other 

grant of authority for the transportation 

by pipeline on or across the Outer 

Continental Shelf of oil or gas shall 

require that the pipeline be operated in 

accordance with the following 

competitive principles: (A) The pipeline 

must provide open and 

nondiscriminatory access to both owner 

and non-owner shippers * * *.’’ 

These responsibilities are among 

those delegated to the BOEMRE, which 

replaced the Minerals Management 

Service (MMS) on June 18, 2010. In 

order to provide shippers with a 

methodology to file complaints alleging 

denial of access or that access is 

discriminatory access, the MMS 

promulgated regulations at 30 CFR Part 

291. The BOEMRE will use the 

information submitted during the 

complaint process to determine whether 

the shipper has been denied such access 

or to initiate a more detailed 

investigation into the specific 

circumstances of the complainant’s 

allegation. The complaint information 

will be provided to the alleged 

offending party. The BOEMRE may 

request additional information upon 

completion of the initial investigation. 

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). No items of 

a sensitive nature are collected. 

Responses are required to obtain a 

benefit. 

Frequency: The frequency is on 

occasion. 

Description of Respondents: Shippers 

who do business on the OCS and 

companies that pay royalties on the 

OCS. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

currently approved hour burden for this 

collection is 254 hours. Refer to the 

table below for a break down of the 

complete burden. 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 a ‘‘non-hour’’ cost 

burden of $37,500. The BOEMRE 

requires that shippers pay a 

nonrefundable fee of $7,500 for each 

complaint submitted to recover the 

Federal Government’s processing costs.

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 

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. 

Agencies must also estimate the nonhour cost burdens to respondents or 

recordkeepers resulting from the 

collection of information. Therefore, if 

you have costs to generate, maintain, 

and disclose this information, you 

should comment and provide your total 

capital and startup cost components or 

annual operation, maintenance, and 

purchase of service components. You 

should describe the methods you use to 

estimate major cost factors, including 

system and technology acquisition, 

expected useful life of capital 

equipment, discount rate(s), and the 

period over which you incur costs. 

Capital and startup costs include, 

among other items, computers and 

software you purchase to prepare for 

collecting information, monitoring, and 

record storage facilities. You should not 

include estimates for equipment or 

services purchased: (i) Before October 1, 

1995; (ii) to comply with requirements 

not associated with the information 

collection; (iii) for reasons other than to 

provide information or keep records for 

the Government; or (iv) as part of 

customary and usual business or private 

practices. 

We will summarize written responses 

to this notice and address them in our 

submission for OMB approval. As a 

result of your comments, we will make 

any necessary adjustments to the burden 

in our submission to OMB. 

Public Comment Procedures: Before 

including your address, phone number, 

e-mail 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NextLight 

Renewable Power, LLC, applied to the 

BLM for a right-of-way on public lands 

to construct a solar photovoltaic (PV) 

facility approximately 2 miles southeast 

of Primm, Nevada, in Clark County. As 

originally proposed, the project 

included 6,320 acres of BLM managed 

lands and was expected to operate for 

approximately 50 years. The proposed 

project would be capable of producing 

400 megawatts of electricity. 

The solar field and infrastructure 

would consist of fixed panels, an 

underground and overhead electrical 

power collection system, two step-up 

transformers, 230-kilovolt (kV) and 220- 

kV transmission lines, an operation and 

maintenance area, a switchyard, paved 

access and maintenance roads, flood 

and drainage controls, and a fire break. 

The Final EIS describes and analyzes 

site-specific impacts of the proposed 

project on air quality; biological, 

cultural, water, soil, visual, 

paleontological, and geological 

resources; recreation; land use; noise; 

public health; socioeconomics; and 

traffic and transportation. 

The Final EIS analyzes three 

alternatives, including the no action 

alternative (Alternative 1) and 2 action 

alternatives. Alternative 2, the proposed 

action and the BLM’s preferred 

alternative, would disturb up to 2,967 

acres of BLM managed land and would 

include the use of berms to reduce 

erosion. Alternative 3 would disturb up 

to 4,818 acres of BLM managed land and 

would employ an alternate drainage and 

flood control design to control erosion. 

The Final EIS describes the different 

types of solar arrays and trackers that 

were considered and their respective 

impacts. 

On April 16, 2010, the BLM published 

the Notice of Availability for the Draft 

EIS for this project in the Federal 

Register [75 FR19990]. The BLM held 3 

public meetings and accepted written 

comments during a 45-day comment
