* The hour burdens are an average of the estimate due to the fact that a large percentage of the submittals are reported electronically, which
in some cases takes less time than the percentage of the submittals that are reported in paper form.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
The currently approved non-hour cost
burden for this collection is $1,789,340.
We have identified two non-hour cost
burdens. Section 250.410(d) requires a
fee ($1,959) for an APD. Section 250.460
requires a fee ($116) for an APM the
drilling application. We have not
identified any other non-hour
paperwork cost burdens associated with
this 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: Before submitting an ICR
to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
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.
Agencies must also estimate the nonhour paperwork cost burdens to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting
from the collection of information.
Therefore, if you have costs to generate,
maintain, and disclose this information,
you should comment and provide your
total capital and startup cost
components or annual operation,
maintenance, and purchase of service
VerDate Mar<15>2010

components. You should describe the
methods you use to estimate major cost
factors, including system and
technology acquisition, expected useful
life of capital equipment, discount
rate(s), and the period over which you
incur costs. Capital and startup costs
include, among other items, computers
and software you purchase to prepare
for collecting information, monitoring,
and record storage facilities. You should
not include estimates for equipment or
services purchased: (i) Before October 1,
1995; (ii) to comply with requirements
not associated with the information
collection; (iii) for reasons other than to
provide information or keep records for
the Government; or (iv) as part of
customary and usual business or private
practices.
We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
submission for OMB approval. As a
result of your comments, we will make
any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.
Public Comment Procedures: 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
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Intrepid
Potash, Inc. (Intrepid) is proposing to
extract potash, a potassium compound
commonly used for fertilizer, remaining
in inactive underground mine workings
using solution mining methods. Intrepid
proposes to construct and operate a
solution mining project in an existing
deep mine located approximately 20
miles northeast of Carlsbad in Eddy
County, New Mexico, in the Secretary’s
Potash Area.
The potash left in the pillars and
walls of the inactive underground mine
workings is not accessible through
conventional methods. The proposed
action is to inject saline water into the
mine workings, dissolve potash, and
extract the mineral solution. This
mineral-rich solution would be pumped
to the surface and transported through
a series of surface pipelines to
evaporation ponds. Once the solution
evaporates in the ponds, the potassiumbearing salts would be harvested from
the ponds and transported to a newly
constructed mill for ore refinement.
The project area is located in portions
of Township 19 South, Range 30 and 31
East, Township 20 South, Ranges 29, 30
and 31 East and Township 21 South,
Ranges 29 and 30 East, New Mexico
Principal Meridian. The project area,
which encompasses the proposed
facilities and inactive workings under
consideration, includes a total of 38,453
acres, of which 82 percent is on public
lands managed by the U.S. Department
of the Interior, Bureau of Land
Management. Four thousand three
hundred and thirty acres of open mine
workings are targeted for flooding but
the total surface footprint of the project
would be 822 acres.
