OMB Number: 1651–0134.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: Until recently, direct flights
between the United States and Cuba
were required to arrive or depart from
one of three named U.S. airports: John
F. Kennedy International Airport, Los
Angeles International Airport, and
Miami International Airport. On January
28, 2011, Customs and Border

amended to allow additional U.S.
airports that are able to process
international flights to request approval
by CBP to process authorized flights
between the United States and Cuba.
To be eligible to request approval to
accept flights to and from Cuba, an
airport must be an international airport,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart M,
Unitization.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0068.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) to prescribe rules and
regulations to administer leasing of the
OCS. Such rules and regulations will
apply to all operations conducted under
a lease. Section 1334(a) specifies that
the Secretary ‘‘provide for the
prevention of waste and conservation of
the natural resources of the [O]uter
Continental Shelf, and the protection of
correlative rights therein’’ and include
provisions for ‘‘unitization, pooling, and
drilling agreements.’’
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. Unitization requests for
approval are subject to cost recovery,
and BOEMRE regulations specify
service fees for these requests.
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) and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data
and information to be made available to
the public or for limited inspection.’’ No
items of a sensitive nature are collected.
Responses are mandatory or are
required to obtain or retain a benefit.

BOEMRE uses the information to
determine whether to approve a
proposal to enter into an agreement to
unitize operations under two or more
leases or to approve modifications when
circumstances change. The information
is necessary to ensure that operations
will result in preventing waste,
conserving natural resources, and
protecting correlative rights, including
the Government’s interests. We also use
information submitted to determine
competitiveness of a reservoir or to
decide that compelling unitization will
achieve these results.
Frequency: On occasion.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondent include Federal OCS oil and
gas or sulphur lessees.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 4,913 hours.
The following chart details the
individual components and respective
hour burden estimates of this ICR. 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.

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 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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
announce the availability of the Hays
County final environmental impact
statement; final regional habitat
conservation plan, which we developed
in compliance with the agency decisionmaking requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of

preferred alternative, which is
implementation of the RHCP. We have
described all alternatives in detail, and
evaluated and analyzed them in our
May 2010 final EIS and the final RHCP.
Based on our review of the
alternatives and their environmental
consequences as described in our final
EIS, we intend to implement the
preferred alternative (the proposed
action). The selected proposed action is
the issuance of a section 10(a)(l)(B)
incidental take permit (ITP) to Hays
County, Texas (the County), for
incidental take of golden-cheeked
warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia) and
black-capped vireo (Vireo atricapilla).
We refer to both species collectively as
‘‘the covered species.’’
The term of the permit is 30 years
(2011–2041). The County will
implement mitigation and minimization
measures according to the schedule in
the RHCP. Under the RHCP, the County
will mitigate for take by establishing a
preserve system of 10,000–15,000 acres
to mitigate for incidental take of covered
species. Each preserve acquisition will
be subject to Service approval and will
generate mitigation credits based on the
number of acres, and quality, of

court reporter and transcripts Sec. 250.1304(d), if seeking compulsory
unitization ($500). We have not identified any other non-hour 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 non-hour 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 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, 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.
