SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: NPS/Minerals Management 

Program/Mining Claims and NonFederal Oil and Gas Rights—36 CFR 

Part 9, Subpart A and Subpart B, 

respectively. 

Form(s): None 

OMB Control Number: 1024–0064. 

Expiration Date: 02/28/2010 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection of 

information 

Description of Need: The NPS 

regulates mineral development activities 

inside park boundaries on mining 

claims and on non-Federal oil and gas 

rights under regulations codified at 36 

CFR Part 9, Subpart A (‘‘9A 

regulations’’), and 36 CFR Part 9, 

Subpart B (‘‘9B Regulations’’), 

respectively. The NPS promulgated both 

sets of regulations in the late 1970s. In 

the case of mining claims, the NPS 

promulgated the 9A regulations 

pursuant to congressional authority 

granted under the Mining in the Parks 

Act of 1976, 16 U.S.C. 1901 et seq., and 

individual park enabling statutes. For 

non-Federal oil and gas rights, the NPS 

regulates development activities 

pursuant to authority under the NPS 

Organic Act of 1916, 16 U.S.C. 1 et seq., 

and individual enabling statutes. As 

directed by Congress, the NPS 

developed the regulations in order to 

protect park resources and visitor values 

from the adverse impacts associated 

with mineral development in park 

boundaries. The regulations require 

operators to submit specific technical 

information describing their future 

development plans including steps to 

mitigate the impacts of operations. NPS 

uses the information to evaluate 

proposed operations, ensure that all 

necessary mitigation measures are 

employed to protect park resources and 

values, and ensure compliance with all 

applicable laws and regulations. 

Description of respondents: Onefourth medium to large publicly owned 

companies and three-fourth private 

entities. 

Estimated average number of 

respondents: 24 per year. 

Estimated average number of 

responses: 24 per year. 

Frequency of Response: 1 per 

respondent. 

Estimated average time burden per 

respondent: 176 hours. 

Estimated total annual reporting 

burden: 4,224 hours. 

Comments are invited on: (1) The 

practical utility of the information being 

gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden 

hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information being collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden to 

respondents, including use of 

automated information collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 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
