SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 30 CFR Part 282, Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur. OMB Control Number: 1010–0081. Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)), authorizes the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to implement regulations to grant leases of any mineral other than oil, gas, and sulphur to qualified parties. This regulation governs mining operations within the OCS and establishes a comprehensive leasing and regulatory program for such minerals. This regulation has been designed to (1) recognize the differences between the OCS activities associated with oil, gas, and sulphur discovery and development, and those associated with the discovery and development of other minerals; (2) facilitate participation by States directly affected by OCS mining activities; (3) provide opportunities for PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5189 consultation and coordination with other OCS users and uses; (4) balance development with environmental protection; (5) insure a fair return to the public; (6) preserve and maintain free enterprise competition; and (7) encourage the development of new technology. The authorities and responsibilities described above are among those delegated to BOEMRE. This ICR addresses the regulations at 30 CFR 282, Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur. Note that there has been no activity in the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas and sulphur for many years and no information collected. However, because these are regulatory requirements, the potential exists for information to be collected; therefore, we are requesting a renewal of this collection of information. Assuming one lease to this ICR is mandatory. No questions of a sensitive nature are asked. We protect proprietary information according to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing regulations (43 CFR 2), 30 CFR 282.5, 282.6, 282.7, and applicable sections of 30 CFR parts 280 and 281. BOEMRE will use the information required by 30 CFR 282 to determine if lessees are complying with the regulations that implement the mining operations program for minerals other than oil, gas, and sulphur. Specifically, BOEMRE will use the information: • To ensure that operations for the production of minerals other than oil, gas, and sulphur in the OCS are conducted in a manner that will result in orderly resource recovery, development, and the protection of the human, marine, and coastal environments. • To ensure that adequate measures will be taken during operations to prevent waste, conserve the natural resources of the OCS, and to protect the environment, human life, and correlative rights. • To determine if suspensions of activities are in the national interest, to facilitate proper development of a lease including reasonable time to develop a mine and construct its supporting facilities, or to allow for the construction or negotiation for use of transportation facilities. • To identify and evaluate the cause(s) of a hazard(s) generating a suspension, the potential damage from a hazard(s) and the measures available to mitigate the potential for damage. • For technical and environmental evaluations which provide a basis for BOEMRE to make informed decisions to E:\FR\FM\28JAN1.SGM 28JAN1 5190 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 19 / Friday, January 28, 2011 / Notices approve, disapprove, or require modification of the proposed activities.

Abstract: With the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) was given responsibility for the Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP) through the amendment of Section 31 of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1356a Appendix A). SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 CIAP recognizes that impacts from Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and gas activities fall disproportionately on the coastal states and localities nearest to where the activities occur, and where associated facilities are located. CIAP legislation appropriates money for eligible states and coastal political subdivisions for coastal restoration/ improvement projects. BOEMRE shall disburse $250 million to eligible producing states and coastal political subdivisions (CPSs) through a grant program. The funds allocated to each state are based on the proportion of qualified OCS revenues offshore the individual state to total qualified OCS revenues from all states. In order to receive funds, the states submit their CIAP plans detailing how the funds will be expended. Alabama, Alaska, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas are the only eligible states under EPAct. Counties, parishes or equivalent units of government within those states lying all or in part within the coastal zone, as defined by section 304(1) of the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) 1972, as amended, are the Coastal Political Subdivisions (CPSs) eligible for CIAP funding, a total of 67 local jurisdictions. All funds will be disbursed through a grant process. In September 2006, CIAP draft guidelines were written and later revised in May 2007. Information was needed from the government jurisdictions to meet all the requirements of the CIAP State Plan Guidelines as well as requirements on the procurement contracts. To approve a plan, legislation requires that the Secretary of the Interior must be able to determine that the funds will be used in accordance with EPAct criteria and that projects will use the funds according to the EPAct. To confirm appropriate use of funds, BOEMRE requires affirmation of grantees meeting Federal, state, and local laws and adequate project descriptions. This ICR is required to fulfill the requirements of the BOEMRE CIAP grant program. 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). No items of a sensitive nature are collected. Responses are required to obtain or retain benefits. Frequency: On occasion. Estimated Number and Description of Respondents: Approximately 6 states and 67 CPSs. Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The currently approved annual reporting E:\FR\FM\28JAN1.SGM 28JAN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 282, Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf
for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur.
OMB Control Number: 1010-0081.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act, as amended
(43 U.S.C. 1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)), authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior (Secretary) to implement regulations to grant leases of any
mineral other than oil, gas, and sulphur to qualified parties. This
regulation governs mining operations within the OCS and establishes a
comprehensive leasing and regulatory program for such minerals. This
regulation has been designed to (1) recognize the differences between
the OCS activities associated with oil, gas, and sulphur discovery and
development, and those associated with the discovery and development of
other minerals; (2) facilitate participation by States directly
affected by OCS mining activities; (3) provide opportunities for
consultation and coordination with other OCS users and uses; (4)
balance development with environmental protection; (5) insure a fair
return to the public; (6) preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition; and (7) encourage the development of new technology.
The authorities and responsibilities described above are among
those delegated to BOEMRE. This ICR addresses the regulations at 30 CFR
282, Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf for Minerals Other than
Oil, Gas, and Sulphur. Note that there has been no activity in the OCS
for minerals other than oil, gas and sulphur for many years and no
information collected. However, because these are regulatory
requirements, the potential exists for information to be collected;
therefore, we are requesting a renewal of this collection of
information.
Assuming one lease to this ICR is mandatory. No questions of a
sensitive nature are asked. We protect proprietary information
according to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its
implementing regulations (43 CFR 2), 30 CFR 282.5, 282.6, 282.7, and
applicable sections of 30 CFR parts 280 and 281.
BOEMRE will use the information required by 30 CFR 282 to determine
if lessees are complying with the regulations that implement the mining
operations program for minerals other than oil, gas, and sulphur.
Specifically, BOEMRE will use the information:
To ensure that operations for the production of minerals
other than oil, gas, and sulphur in the OCS are conducted in a manner
that will result in orderly resource recovery, development, and the
protection of the human, marine, and coastal environments.
To ensure that adequate measures will be taken during
operations to prevent waste, conserve the natural resources of the OCS,
and to protect the environment, human life, and correlative rights.
To determine if suspensions of activities are in the
national interest, to facilitate proper development of a lease
including reasonable time to develop a mine and construct its
supporting facilities, or to allow for the construction or negotiation
for use of transportation facilities.
To identify and evaluate the cause(s) of a hazard(s)
generating a suspension, the potential damage from a hazard(s) and the
measures available to mitigate the potential for damage.
For technical and environmental evaluations which provide
a basis for BOEMRE to make informed decisions to

approve, disapprove, or require modification of the proposed
activities.
Frequency: Monthly, and as a result of situations encountered.
Estimated Number and Description of Respondents: There are no
active respondents; therefore, we estimated the potential annual number
of respondents to be one.
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Hour'' Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this ICR is a total of 201 hours. The
following table 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.

$100,000 Non-Hour Cost Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have
identified one cost burden; Sec. 282.13(e)(1), would require a site-
specific study to determine and evaluate hazards that results in a
suspension of operation. Since this has not been done to date, BOEMRE
estimated that this study would cost approximately $100,000. There are
no other 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)

[[Page 5192]]

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 September 7,
2010, we published a Federal Register notice (75 FR 54372) announcing
that we would submit this ICR to OMB for approval. The notice provided
the required 60-day comment period. In addition, Sec. 282.0 provides
the OMB control number for the information collection requirements
imposed by the 30 CFR 282 regulations. The PRA (5 U.S.C. 1320) informs
the public that they may comment at any time on the collection of
information and BOEMRE 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
February 28, 2011.
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.
