AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)
announces the availability of the Record
of Decision (ROD) for the Nationwide
Automatic Identification System (NAIS)
final Programmatic Environmental
Impact Statement (PEIS). The NAIS is
being implemented pursuant to the
Maritime Transportation Security Act of
2002, and will include installation of
Automatic Identification System (AIS)
equipment and related support systems
on and around communications towers
or other structures along 95,000 miles of
coastline and inland rivers. The project
will enable detection and identification
of vessels carrying (AIS) equipment to
enhance maritime domain awareness.
ADDRESSES: The ROD and final PEIS are
available for viewing online at the
DOT’s docket management Web site:
https://dms.dot.gov under docket number
22837. A copy of the ROD and final
PEIS can also be obtained on the NAIS
project Web site: https://www.uscg.mil/
hq/g-a/AIS/ or by contacting Anita
Allen, PhD, NAIS Environmental
Manager, at 202–474–3292 or
Anita.A.Allen@uscg.mil.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
The Environmental Protection Agency
issued a Notice of Availability of the
final PEIS in the Federal Register on
October 6, 2006 (71 FR 59105). As
supported by the analysis in the PEIS,
the USCG has decided to implement the
proposed NAIS project consistent with
the Preferred Alternative of using AIS
based technology and a combination of
the following coverage mechanisms:
Establishing a combination of collocated
and newly built shore-based RF sites for
short-range AIS coverage; leasing
commercial satellite services for longrange AIS coverage; and installing AIS
equipment on existing offshore oil and
gas platforms and data buoys for
supplemental long-range coverage.
Implementation of the proposed NAIS
project through the Preferred
Alternative would ensure that the USCG
satisfies the purpose and need for NAIS.
The Preferred Alternative
implementation approach will offer
siting flexibility that will help mitigate
or minimize the potential for
environmental impacts, and allow the
USCG to maximize the use of existing
infrastructure to meet coverage
requirements.

Notification.
Abstract: The Secretary of the U.S.
Department of the Interior is responsible
for collecting royalties from lessees who
produce minerals from leased Federal
and Indian lands. The Secretary is
required by various laws to manage
mineral resources production on
Federal and Indian lands, collect the
royalties due, and distribute the funds
in accordance with those laws.
The Secretary also has a trust
responsibility to manage Indian lands
and seek advice and information from
Indian beneficiaries. The MMS performs
the royalty management functions and
assists the Secretary in carrying out the
Department’s trust responsibility for
Indian lands.
The Federal Oil and Gas Royalty
Management Act (FOGRMA) of 1982, 30
U.S.C. 1701 et seq., states in Section
101(a) that the Secretary ‘‘* * * shall
establish a comprehensive inspection,
collection, and fiscal and production
accounting and auditing system to
provide the capability to accurately
determine oil and gas royalties, interest,
fines, penalties, fees, deposits, and other
payments owed, and collect and
account for such amounts in a timely
manner.’’ The persons or entities
described at 30 U.S.C. 1713 are required
to make reports and provide reasonable
information as defined by the Secretary.
Applicable public laws pertaining to
mineral leases on Federal and Indian
lands are located on our Web site at
https://www.mrm.mms.gov/Laws_R_D/
PublicLawsAMR.htm.
When a company or an individual
enters into a lease to explore, develop,
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
produce, and dispose of minerals from
Federal or Indian lands, that company
or individual agrees to pay the lessor a
share (royalty) of the value received
from production from the leased lands.
The lease creates a business relationship
between the lessor and the lessee. The
lessee is required to report various kinds
of information to the lessor relative to
the disposition of the leased minerals.
Such information is similar to data
reported to private and public mineral
interest owners and is generally
available within the records of the
lessee or others involved in developing,
transporting, processing, purchasing, or
selling of such minerals. The
information collected includes data
necessary to ensure that the royalties are
paid appropriately.
The Bureau of Land Management, the
surface management agency for Federal
onshore leases, granted royalty rate
reductions to operators of stripper oil
properties producing an average of less
than 15 barrels of oil per eligible well
per well-day for applicable sales periods
from October 1, 1992 through January
31, 2006. See 43 CFR 3103.4–2. The
purpose of these royalty rate reductions
was to encourage continued production,
provide an incentive for enhanced oil
recovery projects, discourage
abandonment of properties producing
an average of less than 15 barrels of oil
per eligible well per well-day, and
reduce the operator’s expenses. The
royalty rate for a stripper oil property
was lower than the royalty rate reflected
in the lease and thus reduced the
amount of revenues paid to the Federal
Government.
Reporters used the Form MMS–4377
to notify MMS of royalty rate changes
for production through January 31,
2006. Operators submitted an initial
Form MMS–4377 when a new property
qualified as a stripper oil property.
Reporters submitted Form MMS–4377
to notify MMS of a royalty rate
reduction that was lower than the initial
royalty rate reduction on an existing
stripper oil property (out-year
notification). The decision to request an
initial royalty rate reduction was
voluntary; however, failure to timely
submit the out-year notification resulted
in the royalty rate change being denied.
Although the benefits under 43 CFR
3103.4–2 terminated effective February
1, 2006, MMS continues to verify
submitted notifications and sometimes
requires the operator to submit an
amended notification.
Proprietary information submitted to
MMS under this collection is protected,
and no items of a sensitive nature are
collected. The requirement to respond is
