OMB Control Number: 1010–0072.
Title: 30 CFR Part 580, Prospecting for
Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and
Sulphur on the Outer Continental Shelf.
Form: BOEM–0134.
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
to prescribe rules and regulations to
administer leasing of mineral resources
on the OCS. An amendment to the OCS
Lands Act (Pub. L. 103–426) authorizes
the Secretary to negotiate agreements (in
lieu of the previously required
competitive bidding process) for the use
of OCS sand, gravel, and shell resources
for specified types of public uses. Such
specified uses will support construction
of governmental projects for beach
nourishment, shore protection, and
wetlands enhancement or constitute a
project authorized by the Federal
Government.
Section 1340 states that ‘‘* * * any
person authorized by the Secretary may
conduct geological and geophysical
[G&G] explorations in the outer
Continental Shelf, which do not
interfere with or endanger actual
operations under any lease maintained
or granted pursuant to this Act, and
which are not unduly harmful to aquatic
life in such area.’’ Section 1352 further
requires that certain costs be reimbursed
to the parties submitting required G&G
information and data. Regulations
implementing these responsibilities are
in 30 CFR Part 580 and are the
responsibility of the Bureau of Ocean
Energy Management (BOEM).
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 the OMB Circular A–25,
PO 00000
Frm 00075
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. Prospecting permits are
subject to cost recovery under
Department of the Interior’s
implementing policy, and BOEM
regulations specify service fees for these
requests.
We use the information collected
under these regulations to: (1) Ensure
there is no environmental degradation,
personal harm or unsafe operations and
conditions; (2) ensure activities do not
damage historical or archaeological sites
or interfere with other uses; (3) analyze
and evaluate preliminary or planned
drilling activities; (4) monitor progress
and activities in the OCS; (5) acquire
G&G data and information collected
under a Federal permit offshore; (6)
determine eligibility for reimbursement
from the Government for certain costs;
and (7) determine the qualifications of
applicants. BOEM also uses the
information collected to understand the
G&G characteristics of hard mineralbearing physiographic regions of the
OCS.
We will protect information
considered proprietary according to 30
CFR 580.70, ‘‘What data and
information will be protected from
public disclosure?’’ 30 CFR 550.197,
‘‘Data and information to be made
available to the public or for limited
inspection,’’ 30 CFR part 552, ‘‘OCS Oil
and Gas Information Program,’’ and the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and its implementing regulations
(43 CFR 2). No items of a sensitive
nature are collected. Responses are
mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion; and as
required in the permit.
Description of Respondents:
Permittee(s).
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
collection is 128 hours. The following
table 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.

** These permits are prepared by BOEM and sent to respondents; therefore, the forms themselves do not incur burden hours.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified one non-hour
paperwork cost burden for this
collection: A $2,012 permit application
fee.
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
obliged to respond.
Comments: On August 24, 2011, we
published a Federal Register notice (76
FR 52963) announcing that we would
submit this ICR to OMB for approval.
The notice provided the required 60-day
comment period. We received two
comments in response. One did not
pertain to the information collection,
and the other expressed support for
competitive bidding processes.
In addition, § 580.80 provides the
OMB control number for the
information collection requirements
imposed by the 30 CFR 580 regulation,
informs the public that they may
comment at any time on the collections
of information, and provides the address
to which they should send comments.
We again request comments on this
information collection on: (1) Whether
or not the collection of information is
necessary, including whether or not the
information is useful; (2) the accuracy of
our estimate of the burden for this
collection of information; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden on the
respondents.
Public Availability of Comments:
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 1010-0072.
Title: 30 CFR Part 580, Prospecting for Minerals Other than Oil,
Gas, and Sulphur on the Outer Continental Shelf.
Form: BOEM-0134.
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 to prescribe rules and regulations to
administer leasing of mineral resources on the OCS. An amendment to the
OCS Lands Act (Pub. L. 103-426) authorizes the Secretary to negotiate
agreements (in lieu of the previously required competitive bidding
process) for the use of OCS sand, gravel, and shell resources for
specified types of public uses. Such specified uses will support
construction of governmental projects for beach nourishment, shore
protection, and wetlands enhancement or constitute a project authorized
by the Federal Government.
Section 1340 states that ``* * * any person authorized by the
Secretary may conduct geological and geophysical [G&G] explorations in
the outer Continental Shelf, which do not interfere with or endanger
actual operations under any lease maintained or granted pursuant to
this Act, and which are not unduly harmful to aquatic life in such
area.'' Section 1352 further requires that certain costs be reimbursed
to the parties submitting required G&G information and data.
Regulations implementing these responsibilities are in 30 CFR Part 580
and are the responsibility of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
(BOEM).
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 the OMB Circular A-25, authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer special benefits. Prospecting
permits are subject to cost recovery under Department of the Interior's
implementing policy, and BOEM regulations specify service fees for
these requests.
We use the information collected under these regulations to: (1)
Ensure there is no environmental degradation, personal harm or unsafe
operations and conditions; (2) ensure activities do not damage
historical or archaeological sites or interfere with other uses; (3)
analyze and evaluate preliminary or planned drilling activities; (4)
monitor progress and activities in the OCS; (5) acquire G&G data and
information collected under a Federal permit offshore; (6) determine
eligibility for reimbursement from the Government for certain costs;
and (7) determine the qualifications of applicants. BOEM also uses the
information collected to understand the G&G characteristics of hard
mineral-bearing physiographic regions of the OCS.
We will protect information considered proprietary according to 30
CFR 580.70, ``What data and information will be protected from public
disclosure?'' 30 CFR 550.197, ``Data and information to be made
available to the public or for limited inspection,'' 30 CFR part 552,
``OCS Oil and Gas Information Program,'' and the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing regulations (43 CFR 2). No
items of a sensitive nature are collected. Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion; and as required in the permit.
Description of Respondents: Permittee(s).
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The estimated
annual hour burden for this collection is 128 hours. The following
table 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.

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have
identified one non-hour paperwork cost burden for this collection: A
$2,012 permit application fee.
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 obliged to
respond.
Comments: On August 24, 2011, we published a Federal Register
notice (76 FR 52963) announcing that we would submit this ICR to OMB
for approval. The notice provided the required 60-day comment period.
We received two comments in response. One did not pertain to the
information collection, and the other expressed support for competitive
bidding processes.
In addition, Sec. 580.80 provides the OMB control number for the
information collection requirements imposed by the 30 CFR 580
regulation, informs the public that they may comment at any time on the
collections of information, and provides the address to which they
should send comments.
We again request comments on this information collection on: (1)
Whether or not the collection of information is necessary, including
whether or not the information is useful; (2) the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden for this collection of information; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden on the respondents.
Public Availability of Comments: 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.
Dated: February 13, 2012.

Chief, Office of Policy, Regulations, and Analysis.
