SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521, require that interested members of the public and affected agencies be given an opportunity to comment on information collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)). This notice identifies an information collection that the BLM plans to submit to OMB for approval. The Paperwork Reduction Act 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. The BLM will request a 3-year term of approval for this information collection activity. Comments are invited on: (1) The need for the collection of information for the performance of the functions of the agency; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s burden estimates; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to minimize the information collection burden on respondents, such as use of automated means of collection of the information. A summary of the public comments will accompany our submission of the information collection requests to OMB. PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 January 13, 2012. The following information is provided for the information collection: • Title: Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources: Transfers and Assignments (43 CFR Subparts 3106, 3135, and 3216). Forms: • Form 3000–3, Assignment of Record Title Interest in a Lease for Oil and Gas or Geothermal Resources; and • Form 3000–3a, Transfer of Operating Rights (Sublease) in a Lease for Oil and Gas or Geothermal Resources. OMB Control Number: 1004–0034. Abstract: The information collected in Form 3000–3 enables the BLM to process applications to transfer interests in oil and gas or geothermal leases by assignment of record title. The information collected in Form 300–3a enables the BLM to process applications to transfer operating rights in (i.e., sublease) oil and gas or geothermal leases. The information in both forms enables the BLM to identify the interest that is proposed to be assigned or transferred; determine whether the proposed assignee or transferee is qualified to obtain the interest sought; and ensure that the proposed assignee or transferee does not exceed statutory acreage limitations. Frequency of Collection: On occasion. Responses are required to obtain or retain a benefit. Estimated Number and Description of Respondents: Approximately 4,000 individuals, small businesses, and large corporations apply to assign record title or transfer operating rights (sublease) in a lease for oil and gas or geothermal resources. The estimated number of responses exceeds the estimated number of respondents because some respondents file multiple transfers or assignments annually, while others may file just one. Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: For oil and gas: 5,427 hours; for geothermal resources: 391⁄2 hours. The combined total is 5,4661⁄2 hours.
