Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 161 / Friday, August 19, 2011 / Notices
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are under 30 CFR part
281. Responses are mandatory or
required to obtain or retain a benefit. No
questions of a sensitive nature are
asked. The MMS protects information
considered proprietary according to the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and its implementing regulations
(43 CFR part 2, and 30 CFR parts 280
and 282).
BOEMRE uses the information
required by 30 CFR part 281 to
determine if statutory requirements are
met prior to the issuance of a lease.
Specifically, BOEMRE would use the
information to:
• Evaluate the mineral(s) deposits
requested by the lessee to ensure that
Citation 30 CFR 281
the Federal government receives fair
market value for the mineral(s) leased.
• Request the State(s) to initiate the
establishment of a joint working group
or task force to assess the proposed
action and provide input.
• Ensure excessive overriding royalty
interests are not created that would put
economic constraints on all parties
involved.
• Document that a leasehold or
geographical subdivision has been
surrendered by the record title holder.
• Determine if activities on the
proposed lease area (s) will have
significant impact on the environment.
There has been no activity in the OCS
for minerals other than oil, gas and
sulphur for many years. However,
because these are regulatory
Reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements
requirements, the potential exists for
information to be collected.
Frequency: On occasion.
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
information collection is a total of 1,248
hours. The following chart 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.

$50 Non-Hour Cost Burden
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified one non-hour cost
burden. In § 281.41, respondents would
pay a $50 application fee for any
instrument to be filed (see burden table).
We have identified no other non-hour
cost burdens for 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: 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 April 15, 2011,
we published a Federal Register notice
(76 FR 21393) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In
addition, § 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
collections of information and BOEMRE
provides the address to which they
should send comments. We have
received one comment in response to
this effort and it was not germane to the
paperwork burden.
If you wish to comment in response
to this notice, you may send your
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:32 Aug 18, 2011
Jkt 223001
comments to the offices listed under the
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 September 19,
2011.
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
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.

$50 Non-Hour Cost Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have
identified one non-hour cost burden. In Sec. 281.41, respondents would
pay a $50 application fee for any instrument to be filed (see burden
table). We have identified no other non-hour cost burdens for 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: 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 April 15, 2011,
we published a Federal Register notice (76 FR 21393) 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 collections of
information and BOEMRE provides the address to which they should send
comments. We have received one comment in response to this effort and
it was not germane to the paperwork burden.
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
September 19, 2011.
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 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.
