the report as a result of the Deepwater 

Horizon accident and subsequent oil 

spill in the Gulf of Mexico. These events 

highlight the importance of ensuring 

safe operations on the OCS. 

The information to be collected is 

necessary for BOEMRE to assess safety 

equipment; ensure the OCS is managed 

in a safe manner that includes 

considering available environmental 

information and implementing best 

available and safest technology. 

BOEMRE will use the information 

collected to evaluate each operator to 

ensure compliance to BOEMRE 

regulations, review documentation for 

corrective action, and assess each risk 

analysis of deepwater drilling. 

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), under 

regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, Data and 

information to be made available to the 

public or for limited inspection, and 30 

CFR 252, OCS Oil and Gas Information 

Program. No items of a sensitive nature 

are collected. Responses are mandatory. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise Federal oil, gas, 

or sulphur lessees and/or operators. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

currently approved annual reporting 

burden for this collection is 9,028 hours. 

The following chart details the 

individual components and respective 

hour burden estimates of this ICR. In 

calculating the burdens, we assumed 

that respondents perform certain 

requirements in the normal course of 

their activities. We consider these to be 

usual and customary and took that into 

account in estimating the burden.

BOP Certification Requirements for Floating Drilling Operations.—Submit independent third party (ITP) 

physical inspection and design review of BOP in accordance with OEM specs and standards [will cost 

approximately $25,000 to $250,000 depending on size etc., average cost = $112,500]. Include description of the ITP’s qualifications.

$112,500 per third-party physical 

inspection and design reviews— 

30 mins. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified one non-hour 

paperwork cost burdens for this 

collection. The non-hour cost burden is 

$112,500 for each third party physical 

inspection and design review. 

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 paperwork 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, 

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.

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) announces the 

availability of the Record of Decision 

(ROD) for the NextLight Renewable 

Power, LLC, Silver State Solar Project 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). 

The Department of the Interior Secretary

which constitutes the final decision of 

the Department. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

applicant, Nextlight Renewable Power, 

LLC, requested a right-of-way (ROW) 

authorization to construct, operate, 

maintain and decommission a 400- 

megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) 

power plant and facilities. The Notice of 

Availability (NOA) for the Draft EIS 

analyzing impacts of the project and 

alternatives was released for public 

comment on April 16, 2010 (75 FR 

19990). Four hundred eighty one 

comments were received on the Draft 

EIS. The comments were incorporated, 

where appropriate, to clarify the 

analysis presented in the Final EIS. The 

Environmental Protection Agency 

published the NOA for the Final EIS in 

the Federal Register on Friday, 

September 10, 2010 (75 FR 55326). The 

Final EIS analyzes 3 alternatives: A No 

Action Alternative, the Proposed 

Action, and a Modified Site Layout 

Alternative. These alternatives were 

shaped in part by comments received 

from the public and internal BLM 

review. 

Alternative 1—No Action Alternative. 

Under this alternative, the BLM would 

deny a ROW for construction, operation, 

maintenance, and decommission of a 

400–MW solar photovoltaic power plant 

on public lands administered by the 

BLM. 

Alternative 2—Proposed Action. The 

Proposed Action Alternative is the 

construction, operation, maintenance 

and decommission of a solar facility 

utilizing passive PV technology. The 

project facilities would be constructed 

in 3 separate phases totaling 400–MW 

with a total surface disturbance of 2,967 

acres. Phase 1 consists of a 60–MW 

direct current (50–MW alternating 

current) facility and is independent of 

the facilities identified in Phase 2 and 

Phase 3, which are inter-dependant 

facilities. Each facility component 

would be constructed as power 

purchase agreements and transmission 

infrastructure is in place and available 

to bring generated power to the market. 

Drainage controls would consist of a 

series of earthen drainage control berms 

that would contain surface runoff flows 

to existing primary drainages (storm 

water flow corridors) across the site. 

Alternative 3—Modified Site Layout 

Alternative. The Modified Site Layout
