In order for individuals to request redress, they are asked to provide identifying information as well as details of their travel experience. The Traveler Inquiry Form (TIF) is an online form that is used to collect requests for redress by the DHS TRIP office, which serves as a centralized intake office for traveler requests to have their personal information reviewed. DHS TRIP then passes the information to the relevant DHS component to process the request, as appropriate (e.g., DHS TRIP passes the form to the appropriate DHS office to initiate the Watch List Clearance Procedure). This collection serves to distinguish misidentified individuals from an actual individual on any watch list used by DHS, and this program helps streamline and expedite future check-in or border crossing experiences. DHS estimates completing the form, and gathering and submitting the information will take approximately one hour. The annual respondent population was derived from data compiled across all participating components (Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Visitor and Immigration Status Indicator Technology (US–VISIT), DHS Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL), DHS Privacy Office, along with the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs (DoS)). Thus, the total estimated annual number of burden hours for passengers seeking redress, based on an estimated 32,495 annual respondents, is 32,495 hours (32,495 × 1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 30 CFR 250, subpart L, Oil and Gas Production Measurement. OMB Control Number: 1010–0051. Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), authorizes the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to prescribe rules and regulations to administer leasing of the OCS. Such rules and regulations will apply to all operations conducted under a lease. Operations on the OCS must preserve, protect, and develop oil and natural gas resources in a manner that is consistent with the need to make such resources available to meet the Nation’s energy needs as rapidly as possible; to balance orderly energy resource development with protection of human, marine, and coastal environments; to ensure the public a fair and equitable E:\FR\FM\19MYN1.SGM 19MYN1 28053 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 19, 2010 / Notices return on the resources of the OCS; and to preserve and maintain free enterprise competition. The Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982 (30 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.) at section 1712(b)(2) prescribes that an operator will ‘‘develop and comply with such minimum site security measures as the Secretary deems appropriate, to protect oil or gas produced or stored on a lease site or on the Outer Continental Shelf from theft.’’ Regulations at 30 CFR part 250, subpart L, implement these statutory requirements. We use the information to ensure that the volumes of hydrocarbons produced are measured accurately, and royalties are paid on the proper volumes. Specifically, MMS needs the information to: • Determine if measurement equipment is properly installed, provides accurate measurement of production on which royalty is due, and is operating properly; • Obtain rates of production data in allocating the volumes of production measured at royalty sales meters, which can be examined during field inspections; • Ascertain if all removals of oil and condensate from the lease are reported; • Determine the amount of oil that was shipped when measurements are taken by gauging the tanks rather than being measured by a meter; • Ensure that the sales location is secure and production cannot be removed without the volumes being recorded; and • Review proving reports to verify that data on run tickets are calculated and reported accurately. The MMS 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, and 30 CFR part 252, OCS Oil and Gas Information Program. No items of a sensitive nature are collected. Responses are mandatory. Frequency: Varies by section, but primarily monthly, or on occasion. Description of Respondents: Respondents comprise Federal oil, gas and sulphur lessees and/or operators. Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The estimated annual hour burden for this information collection is a total of 32,957 hours. The following chart details the individual components and estimated hour burdens. 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.

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have identified two non-hour cost burdens, both of which are cost recovery fees. Note that the actual fee amounts are specified in 30 CFR 250.125, which provide a consolidated table of all the fees required under the 30 CFR part 250 regulations. The non-hour cost burden total in this collection of information is an estimated $600,065. The cost burdens are for: (1) Filing fees associated with submitting requests for approval of simple applications (applications to temporarily reroute production (for a duration not to exceed 6 months); production tests prior to pipeline construction; departures related to meter proving, well testing, or sampling frequency ($1,271 per application)) or, (2) submitting a request for approval of a complex application (creation of new facility measurement points (FMPs); association of leases or units with existing FMPs; inclusion of production from additional structures; meter updates which add buyback gas meters or pigging meters; other applications which request deviations from the approved allocation procedures ($3,760 per application)). We have not identified any other nonhour paperwork cost burdens associated with this collection of information. 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: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) 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, VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:07 May 18, 2010 Jkt 220001 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. To comply with the public consultation process, on November 3, 2009, we published a Federal Register notice (74 FR 56858) announcing that we would submit this ICR to OMB for approval. The notice provided the required 60-day comment period. In addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB control number for the information collection requirements imposed by the 30 CFR 250 regulations. The regulation also informs the public that they may comment at any time on the collections of information and provides the address to which they should send comments. We have received no comments in response to these efforts. If you wish to comment in response to this notice, you may send your comments to the offices listed under the ADDRESSES section of this notice. The OMB has up to 60 days to approve or disapprove the information collection but may respond after 30 days. Therefore, to ensure maximum consideration, OMB should receive public comments by June 18, 2010. Public Availability of Comments: 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.

The new GMP will update the overall direction for the park approved in 1995, refining goals and objectives for managing the park over the next 15 to 20 years. The GMP will prescribe desired resource conditions and visitor experiences that are to be achieved and maintained throughout the park based on such factors as the park’s purpose, significance, special mandates and the body of laws and policies directing park management and resource analysis, other designations such as establishment of 594,502 acres by Congress as Wilderness, and the spectrum of public expectations and concerns. The GMP also will outline the kinds of resource management activities, visitor activities, and developments that would be appropriate and sustainable in the park in the future. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A range of reasonable alternatives for managing the park will be developed by the National Park Service (NPS) through this conservation planning and environmental impact analysis process, and which will include, at a minimum, no-action and agency-preferred alternatives. Major issues the GMP will address include changes in visitor use patterns, adequacy and sustainability of existing visitor facilities and park operations, management of natural and cultural resources, collaboration and partnership opportunities, Wilderness stewardship goals, evaluation of park boundaries, and pro-active planning in response to climate change.

identified two non-hour cost burdens, both of which are cost recovery
fees. Note that the actual fee amounts are specified in 30 CFR 250.125,
which provide a consolidated table of all the fees required under the
30 CFR part 250 regulations. The non-hour cost burden total in this
collection of information is an estimated $600,065. The cost burdens
are for: (1) Filing fees associated with submitting requests for
approval of simple applications (applications to temporarily reroute
production (for a duration not to exceed 6 months); production tests
prior to pipeline construction; departures related to meter proving,
well testing, or sampling frequency ($1,271 per application)) or, (2)
submitting a request for approval of a complex application (creation of
new facility measurement points (FMPs); association of leases or units
with existing FMPs; inclusion of production from additional structures;
meter updates which add buyback gas meters or pigging meters; other
applications which request deviations from the approved allocation
procedures ($3,760 per application)).
We have not identified any other non-hour paperwork cost burdens
