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
return on the resources of the OCS; and
to preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition.
The OCS Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1340)
also states that ‘‘any person authorized
by the Secretary may conduct geological
and geophysical explorations in the
[O]uter Continental Shelf, which do not
interfere with or endanger actual
operations under any lease maintained
or granted pursuant to this OCS Lands
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 do not disturb a site, structure,
or object of historical or archaeological
significance. Applicants for permits are
required to submit form MMS–327 to
provide the information necessary to
evaluate their qualifications. Upon
approval, respondents are issued a
permit on either form MMS–328 or
MMS–329 depending on whether the
permit is for geophysical exploration or
for geological exploration.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 251
implement these statutory requirements.
We use the information 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

Apply for permits (form MMS–327) to conduct G&G exploration, including deep stratigraphic tests/revisions

1982.).

activities in the OCS; to acquire G&G
data and information collected under a
Federal permit offshore; and to
determine eligibility for reimbursement
from the Government for certain costs.
The information is necessary to
determine if the applicants for permits
or filers of notices meet the
qualifications specified by the OCS
Lands Act. The MMS uses information
collected to understand the G&G
characteristics of oil- and gas-bearing
physiographic regions of the OCS. It
aids the Secretary in obtaining a proper
balance among the potentials for
environmental damage, the discovery of
oil and gas, and adverse impacts on
affected coastal States. Information from
permittees is necessary to determine the
propriety and amount of
reimbursement.
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) and under
regulations at 30 CFR parts 250, 251,
and 252. No items of a sensitive nature
are collected. Responses are mandatory
or required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency: On occasion; and as
required in the permit.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 130 OCS
Federal oil, gas, and sulphur permittees
and notice filers.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The
estimated annual ‘‘hour’’ burden for this
information collection is a total of 1,586
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.

automated collection techniques or

To comply with the public
consultation process, on November 28,
2005, we published a Federal Register
notice (70 FR 71329) 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 251 regulations and forms. 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. 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 July 28, 2006.
Public Comment Procedures: MMS’s
practice is to make comments, including
names and addresses of respondents,
available for public review. If you wish

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an

obligated to respond.

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,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
minimize the burden on the

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

Operations on the OCS must preserve, protect, and develop oil and

with protection of human, marine, and coastal environments; to ensure

The OCS Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1340) also states that ``any person

that permits to conduct such activities may only be issued if it is

permit is for geophysical exploration or for geological exploration.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 251 implement these statutory

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Non-Hour Cost'' Burden: We
have identified no paperwork ``non-hour cost'' burdens associated with
the 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,
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 28,
2005, we published a Federal Register notice (70 FR 71329) announcing
that we would submit this ICR to OMB for approval. The notice provided
the required 60-day comment period. In addition, Sec. 250.199 provides
the OMB control number for the information collection requirements
imposed by the 30 CFR 251 regulations and forms. 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. 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 July 28, 2006.
Public Comment Procedures: 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
the request to the extent allowable by the 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.
