Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 26038 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 85 / Wednesday, May 2, 2012 / Notices CFR part 1320 provide 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. In order to obtain and renew an OMB control number, Federal agencies are required to seek public comment on information collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)). As required at 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the BLM published a 60-day notice in the Federal Register on January 24, 2012 (77 FR 3496), and the comment period ended March 26, 2012. The BLM received no comments. The BLM now requests comments on the following subjects: 1. Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper functioning of the BLM, including whether the information will have practical utility; 2. The accuracy of the BLM’s estimate of the burden of collecting the information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. The quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. How to minimize the information collection burden on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other forms of information technology. Please send comments as directed under ADDRESSES and DATES. Please refer to OMB control number 1004–0034 in your correspondence. 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. 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:55 May 01, 2012 Jkt 226001 process applications to transfer interests in oil and gas or geothermal leases by assignment of record title. The information collected in Form 3000–3a 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: 10,933 applicants who wish to assign record title or transfer operating rights in a lease for oil and gas or geothermal resources.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Newmont Mining Corporation (Newmont) has submitted a proposed Amendment to SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00081 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 26039 the Plan of Operations for a new copper processing plant and appurtenant facilities to the BLM. The proposed project would be located in northcentral Nevada approximately 12 miles southwest of Battle Mountain on both public and private lands in Lander County, Nevada. The project, as proposed, will disturb a total of 902 acres: 708 acres of private land owned by Newmont and 194 acres of public land. These lands are located in an already heavily mined area and the copper ore was previously being mined and placed on existing waste-rock facilities. The proposed project would involve the expansion and operation of the existing Phoenix Mine to include copper leaching/beneficiation of copper oxide rock material that previously has been permitted for disposal on currently permitted waste rock facilities. Active mining and processing for the proposed project would last approximately 24 years; overall closure and reclamation activities are anticipated to extend approximately 25 years beyond the operational phase. A minimum of 13 years of re-vegetation, and reclamation monitoring would be required following mine closure. The BLM is also reviewing Newmont’s application under the Mining Law of 1872; the BLM Code of Federal Regulations, Surface Management Regulations at 43 CFR 3809; and the Use and Occupancy Regulations at 43 CFR 3715, in response to Newmont’s application for mining and processing of copper ore while preventing undue or unnecessary degradation of public lands. The BLM will decide whether to grant an approval of the Amendment to the Plan of Operations as submitted or to modify it based on mitigation developed through this NEPA analysis. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Phoenix Copper Leach Project described and analyzed the proposed project’s sitespecific impacts for all affected resources. Two action alternatives, the Proposed Action and the Reona Copper Heap Leach Facility Elimination Alternative, were analyzed in detail, in addition to the No Action Alternative. Eleven additional alternatives presented in the DEIS were considered but eliminated from further analysis. The Notice of Availability of the DEIS was published in the Federal Register on October 28, 2011, starting a 45-day public comment period that ended on December 12, 2011. The BLM mailed 160 letters to individuals, non-government organizations, and local, state, and federal agencies who had stated an E:\FR\FM\02MYN1.SGM 02MYN1
