SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 280, Prospecting for
Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and
Sulphur on the Outer Continental Shelf.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0072.
Forms: MMS–134, MMS–135, and
MMS–136.
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. Section 1337(k) of the OCS
Lands Act authorizes the Secretary
‘‘* * * to grant to the qualified persons
offering the highest cash bonuses on a
basis of competitive bidding leases of
any mineral other than oil, gas, and
sulphur in any area of the outer
Continental Shelf not then under lease
for such mineral upon such royalty,
rental, and other terms and conditions
as the Secretary may prescribe at the
PO 00000
Frm 00083
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
time of offering the area for lease.’’ An
amendment to the OCS Lands Act (Pub.
L. 103–426) authorizes the Secretary to
negotiate agreements (in lieu of the
previously required competitive bidding
process) for the use of OCS sand, gravel,
and shell resources for certain specified
types of public uses. The specified uses
will support construction of
governmental projects for beach
nourishment, shore protection, and
wetlands enhancement; or any project
authorized by the Federal Government.
Section 1340 states that ‘‘* * * any
person authorized by the Secretary may
conduct geological and geophysical
[G&G] explorations in the outer
Continental Shelf, which do not
interfere with or endanger actual
operations under any lease maintained
or granted pursuant to this Act, and
which are not unduly harmful to aquatic
life in such area.’’ The section further
requires that, permits to conduct such
activities may only be issued if it is
determined that the applicant is
qualified; the activities are not
polluting, hazardous, or unsafe; they do
not interfere with other users of the
area; and they do not disturb a site,
structure, or object of historical or
archaeological significance.
Respondents are required to submit
form MMS–134 to provide the
information necessary to evaluate their
qualifications. Upon approval,
respondents are issued a permit on
either form MMS–135 or MMS–136
depending on whether they are
prospecting or conducting scientific
research for ‘‘geological’’ or
‘‘geophysical’’ mineral resources.
Section 1352 further requires that
certain costs be reimbursed to the
parties submitting required G&G
information and data. Under the Act,
permittees are to be reimbursed for the
costs of reproducing any G&G data
required to be submitted. Permittees are
to be reimbursed also for the reasonable
cost of processing geophysical
information required to be submitted
when processing is in a form or manner
required by the Director and is not used
in the normal conduct of the business of
the permittee.
MMS OCS Regions collect
information required under part 280 to
ensure there is no environmental
degradation, personal harm or unsafe
operations and conditions, damage to
historical or archaeological sites, or
interference with other uses; to analyze
and evaluate preliminary or planned
drilling activities; to monitor progress
and activities in the OCS; to acquire
G&G data and information collected
under a Federal permit offshore; and to
E:\FR\FM\25MYN1.SGM
25MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 25, 2005 / Notices
determine eligibility for reimbursement
from the Government for certain costs.
Respondents are required to submit
form MMS–134 to provide the
information necessary to evaluate their
qualifications. The information is
necessary for MMS to determine if the
applicants for permits or filers of notices
meet the qualifications specified by the
Act. The MMS uses the information
collected to understand the G&G
characteristics of hard mineral-bearing
physiographic regions of the OCS. It
aids MMS in obtaining a proper balance
among the potentials for environmental
damage, the discovery of hard minerals,
and adverse impacts on affected coastal
states. Information from permittees is
necessary to determine the propriety
and amount of reimbursement.
Responses are mandatory or required
to obtain or retain a benefit. No
questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are
asked. The MMS protects information
considered proprietary according to 30
CFR 280.70 and applicable sections of
30 CFR parts 250 and 252, and the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and its implementing regulations
(43 CFR 2).
Frequency: On occasion, annual; and
as required in the permit.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately one hard
mineral permittee or one notice filer at
any give time and one affected State.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 108 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
This collection of information
(solicitation of nominations to receive
an award) is planned to honor
individuals, corporations and non-profit
organizations which have been
exemplary in furthering the
employment-related objectives of
President George W. Bush’s New
Freedom Initiative. The New Freedom
Initiative reflects the Administration’s
commitment to increasing development
and access to assistive and universally
designed technologies, expanding
educational opportunities, further
integrating Americans with disabilities
into the workforce, and helping to
remove barriers to their full
participation in community life. Legal
authority for this collection can be
found in both the New Freedom itself,
and by Pub. L. 106–554, the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2001 which established the Office of
Disability Employment Policy within
the Department of Labor to bring a
heightened and permanent focus on
increasing the employment of persons
with disabilities.
II. Review Focus
The Department of Labor is
particularly interested in comments
which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 280, Prospecting for Minerals Other than Oil,
Gas, and Sulphur on the Outer Continental Shelf.
OMB Control Number: 1010-0072.
Forms: MMS-134, MMS-135, and MMS-136.
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.
Section 1337(k) of the OCS Lands Act authorizes the Secretary ``* * *
to grant to the qualified persons offering the highest cash bonuses on
a basis of competitive bidding leases of any mineral other than oil,
gas, and sulphur in any area of the outer Continental Shelf 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.'' An amendment to the OCS Lands Act (Pub. L. 103-
426) authorizes the Secretary to negotiate agreements (in lieu of the
previously required competitive bidding process) for the use of OCS
sand, gravel, and shell resources for certain specified types of public
uses. The specified uses will support construction of governmental
projects for beach nourishment, shore protection, and wetlands
enhancement; or any project authorized by the Federal Government.
Section 1340 states that ``* * * any person authorized by the
Secretary may conduct geological and geophysical [G&G] explorations in
the outer Continental Shelf, which do not interfere with or endanger
actual operations under any lease maintained or granted pursuant to
this Act, and which are not unduly harmful to aquatic life in such
area.'' The section further requires that, permits to conduct such
activities may only be issued if it is determined that the applicant is
qualified; the activities are not polluting, hazardous, or unsafe; they
do not interfere with other users of the area; and they do not disturb
a site, structure, or object of historical or archaeological
significance. Respondents are required to submit form MMS-134 to
provide the information necessary to evaluate their qualifications.
Upon approval, respondents are issued a permit on either form MMS-135
or MMS-136 depending on whether they are prospecting or conducting
scientific research for ``geological'' or ``geophysical'' mineral
resources.
Section 1352 further requires that certain costs be reimbursed to
the parties submitting required G&G information and data. Under the
Act, permittees are to be reimbursed for the costs of reproducing any
G&G data required to be submitted. Permittees are to be reimbursed also
for the reasonable cost of processing geophysical information required
to be submitted when processing is in a form or manner required by the
Director and is not used in the normal conduct of the business of the
permittee.
MMS OCS Regions collect information required under part 280 to
ensure there is no environmental degradation, personal harm or unsafe
operations and conditions, damage to historical or archaeological
sites, or interference with other uses; to analyze and evaluate
preliminary or planned drilling activities; to monitor progress and
activities in the OCS; to acquire G&G data and information collected
under a Federal permit offshore; and to
[[Page 30139]]
determine eligibility for reimbursement from the Government for certain
costs.
Respondents are required to submit form MMS-134 to provide the
information necessary to evaluate their qualifications. The information
is necessary for MMS to determine if the applicants for permits or
filers of notices meet the qualifications specified by the Act. The MMS
uses the information collected to understand the G&G characteristics of
hard mineral-bearing physiographic regions of the OCS. It aids MMS in
obtaining a proper balance among the potentials for environmental
damage, the discovery of hard minerals, and adverse impacts on affected
coastal states. Information from permittees is necessary to determine
the propriety and amount of reimbursement.
Responses are mandatory or required to obtain or retain a benefit.
No questions of a ``sensitive'' nature are asked. The MMS protects
information considered proprietary according to 30 CFR 280.70 and
applicable sections of 30 CFR parts 250 and 252, and the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing regulations (43 CFR
2).
Frequency: On occasion, annual; and as required in the permit.
Estimated Number and Description of Respondents: Approximately one
hard mineral permittee or one notice filer at any give time and one
affected State.
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Hour'' Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting burden for this collection is 108
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.

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Non-Hour Cost'' Burden: We
have identified no cost burdens for this collection.
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 ``non-hour 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,
[[Page 30140]]
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 Procedure: MMS's practice is to make comments,
including names and addresses of respondents, available for public
review. If you wish your name and/or address to be withheld, you must
state this prominently at the beginning of your comment. MMS will honor
this request to the extent allowable by law; however, anonymous
comments will not be considered. All submissions from organizations or
businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, will be
made available for public inspection in their entirety.
