SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 291, Open and
Nondiscriminatory Access to Oil and
Gas Pipelines under the OCS Lands Act.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0172.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et
seq.), as amended, requires the Secretary
of the Interior to preserve, protect, and
develop OCS oil, gas, and sulphur
resources; make such resources
available to meet the Nation’s energy
needs; balance orderly energy resources
development with protection of the
human, marine, and coastal
environments; ensure the public a fair
and equitable return on the resources
offshore; and preserve and maintain free
enterprise competition.
Section 1334(f)(1) states ‘‘Except as
provided in paragraph (2), every permit,
license, easement, right-of-way, or other
grant of authority for the transportation
by pipeline on or across the outer
Continental Shelf of oil or gas shall
require that the pipeline be operated in
accordance with the following
competitive principles: (A) The pipeline
must provide open and
nondiscriminatory access to both owner
and non-owner shippers* * * .’’
Ensuring open and nondiscriminatory
access to pipelines is among the
responsibilities delegated to BOEMRE,
which replaced the Minerals
Management Service on June 18, 2010.
In order to provide shippers with a
methodology to file complaints alleging
denial of access or that access is
discriminatory access, the BOEMRE
promulgated regulations at 30 CFR Part
291. The BOEMRE will use the
information submitted during the
complaint process to determine whether
the shipper has been denied such access
or to initiate a more detailed
investigation into the specific
circumstances of the complainant’s
allegation. The complaint information
will be provided to the alleged
offending party. The BOEMRE may
request additional information upon
completion of the initial investigation.
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 a
benefit.
Frequency: The frequency is on
occasion.
Description of Respondents: Shippers
that do business on the OCS and
companies that pay royalties on the
OCS.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
collection is 51 hours. Refer to the table
below for a break down of the complete
burden. This includes the time for
reviewing instructions, gathering and
maintaining data, and completing and

Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified a ‘‘non-hour’’ cost
burden of $7,500, which is a
nonrefundable fee for each complaint
submitted to recover the Federal
Government’s processing costs.
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 September 20,
2010, we published a Federal Register
notice (75 FR 57285) announcing that
we would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. 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
received one comment, but it did not
pertain to the information collection;
therefore, no change was made in the
burden estimate.
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
