* CPA certification expense burden also imposed on applicant.
** These applications currently do not have a set fee since they are done on a case-by-case basis.
Note: Applications include numerous items such as: Transmittal letters, letters of request, modifications to applications, reapplications, etc.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
There are two non-hour costs associated
with this information collection. The
estimated non-hour cost burden is
$122,024. This estimate is based on:
(a) Application and audit fees. The
total annual estimated cost burden for
these fees is $77,024 (refer to burden
chart).
(b) Cost of reports prepared by
independent certified public
accountants. Under § 203.81, a report
prepared by an independent certified
public accountant must accompany the
application and post-production report
(expansion project, short form, and
preview assessment applications are
excluded). The OCS Lands Act
applications will require this report
only once; the DWRRA applications will
require this report at two stages—with
the application and post-production
development report for successful
applicants. MMS estimates
approximately one submission each
year at an average cost of $45,000 per
report, for a total estimated annual cost
burden of $45,000.
The total of the two burdens is
estimated at $122,024.
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
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
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 April 22, 2009,
we published a Federal Register notice
(74 FR 18393) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In
addition, § 203.82 provides the OMB
control number for the information
collection requirements imposed by the
30 CFR part 203 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 October 9, 2009.
Public Availability of Comments:
Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your

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.
