SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public’s reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format. A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on April 14, 2017 (82 FR 18008). No comments were received. We are again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper functions of BOEM; (2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might BOEM enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might BOEM minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, PO 00000 Frm 00131 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 including through the use of information technology? Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. 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. Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (Act), as amended (43 U.S.C. 1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)), authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to administer the provisions relating to the leasing of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), and to prescribe such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out such provisions. Additionally, the Act authorizes the Secretary to implement regulations to grant to qualified persons, offering the highest cash bonuses on the basis of competitive bidding, leases of any mineral other than oil, gas, and sulphur. This applies to any area of the OCS not then under lease for such mineral upon such royalty, rental, and other terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe at the time of offering the area for lease. Regulations at 30 CFR part 581 implement these statutory requirements. There has been no leasing activity on the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, or sulphur under these regulations for several years, and BOEM has not received information under this Part of its regulation. However, there is potential for a person, entity, or company to request that minerals other than oil, gas, or sulfur be offered for lease. Therefore, we are renewing OMB approval for this information collection. BOEM will use the information required by 30 CFR part 581 to determine if statutory and regulatory E:\FR\FM\12OCN1.SGM 12OCN1 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 196 / Thursday, October 12, 2017 / Notices requirements are met prior to the issuance of a lease. Among other things, BOEM will use the information to: • Evaluate the area and minerals requested by the lessee to assess the viability of offering leases for sale; • Request the state(s) to initiate the establishment of a joint group to assess the proposed action; • Ensure excessive overriding royalty interests are not created that would put economic constraints on all parties involved; • Document that a leasehold or geographical subdivision has been surrendered by the record title holder; and • Determine if activities on the proposed lease area(s) will have a significant impact on the environment. We protect proprietary information in accordance with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), the Department of the Interior’s implementing regulations (43 CFR part 47577 Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect the burden estimate for the renewal will be 984 hours, which reflects a decrease of 280 hour burdens. In calculating the burdens, responses to requests for information and interest or proposed notices of sale pursuant to 30 CFR 581.12 and 581.16 do not constitute information collection under 5 CFR 1320.3(h)(4). These inquiries are general solicitations of public comment, so BOEM has removed the burden hours associated with them, reflecting a decrease of 280 hour burdens. The following table details the individual BOEM components and respective hour burden estimates of this ICR. 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. 2), and BOEM’s regulation at 30 CFR 581.7.

Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents/Affected Public: As there are no active respondents, we estimated the potential annual number of respondents to be one. Potential respondents are potential OCS lessees, state governments, and OCS lessees. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 10 responses. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 984 hours. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. Frequency of Collection: Annually. Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: We have identified one non-hour cost burden for this collection, a $50 required or non-required filing document fee under 30 CFR 581.41.
