The National Park Service agreed to prepare an ORV management plan as part of a settlement agreement negotiated in 1995 between the Florida Biodiversity Project and several Federal agencies and bureaus. The agreement settled a lawsuit which alleged failure by the agencies to comply with Federal statutes, including the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act. The Off-Road Vehicle Management Plan, 2000 (p. 29) states ‘‘Under the proposed action, the National Park Service would establish an advisory committee of concerned citizens to examine issues and make recommendations regarding the management of ORVs in the Preserve. The establishment of the Committee meets the legal requirements of the 1972 Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (Pub. L. 92–463, 1972, as amended). The advisory Committee provides access to the extensive knowledge available in the public arena and offers advice to the National Park Service in the decision-making process in a manner consistent with the FACA. This Committee is an element of the adaptive management approach used to develop best management practices for ORV use.’’ As part of the ORV management plan, NPS committed to establishing the ORV Advisory Committee. In addition, the establishment of the Committee fulfills the agency’s policy of civic engagement. This Committee strengthens the relationship that the NPS has with its partners and communities. The Committee is composed of individuals that represent (1) Sportsmen/ORV users; (2) landowners; (3) academia; (4) environmental advocates; (5) the state government; and (6) Tribes. Certification: I hereby certify that the renewal of the Big Cypress Off-Road Vehicle Advisory Committee is necessary and in the public interest in connection with the performance of duties imposed on the Department of the Interior by the Act of August 25, 1916, 16 U.S.C. 1 et seq., and other statutes relating to the administration of the National Park System.

Title: Project Planning for the Use of Outer Continental Shelf Sand, Gravel, and Shell Resources in Construction Projects that Qualify for a Negotiated Noncompetitive Agreement. Abstract: Under the authority delegated by the Secretary of the Interior, BOEM is authorized, pursuant to section 8(k)(2) of the OCS Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1337(k)(2)), to convey rights to OCS sand, gravel, and shell resources by noncompetitive negotiated agreement (NNA) for use in shore protection and beach and coastal restoration, or for use in construction projects funded in whole or part by, or authorized by, the Federal Government. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES ADDRESSES: Background Since 1994, 39 shore protection or beach and coastal restoration projects have been completed using OCS sand resources, conveying more than 75 million cubic yards of OCS material and restoring more than 225 miles of shoreline. Recently, the program has seen an increase in demand for OCS resources due to the decreasing availability of sand sources located in State waters and an increase in coastal storm intensity, duration, and frequency. In order for BOEM to continue to meet the needs of local, State and regional entities, information regarding upcoming projects must be acquired to plan for future projects and anticipated workload. Therefore, BOEM will issue calls for information about needed resources and locations from interested parties to develop and maintain a project schedule. This ICR addresses the information needed from States, local governments, Federal agencies, environmental and other interest organizations, and all other interested parties to update and maintain the project schedule. It includes the potential for an annual call for information and the potential for a call in response to an emergency declaration, such as a tropical storm. VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:29 Oct 02, 2013 Jkt 232001 BOEM’s calls for information (e.g., letters or Federal Register notices) will request interested parties to submit, in writing or electronically, a description of their proposed projects for which OCS resources will be used. The description must include the offshore borrow sites if known; the estimated date of construction; a short description of current project funding; the name of a primary point of contact with that person’s mailing address, telephone number, and email address; as well as any additional information concerning the status of the project that would be useful to BOEM. This information may include detailed maps; geospatial data and coordinates of desired sand resources and sites that would be nourished; a description of the environmental documents that have been completed to date concerning any portion of the project; a cited reference list; status of geological and geophysical permit (if required); information concerning known or suspected archaeological or historic artifacts; interpretations of geology and extent of sand areas; known volumes of sand resource site; historical data related to the proposed borrow or placement area; and a description of the status of Federal, State, and/or local permits required for the project. In order to meet the needs of the States under the current BOEM staff and funding resources, BOEM may request the relevant States to prioritize their own projects based on several criteria including likelihood of project funding and progress of environmental work. The information provided by States will help BOEM determine appropriate future resource allocation, identify potential conflicts of use, conduct environmental analyses, develop NNAs, and meet all necessary environmental and legal requirements. With this renewal, we are also including a provision for a call in response to emergency declarations, such as a tropical storm. Hurricane Sandy demonstrated BOEM’s need for accurate and timely information following a natural disaster declaration. Therefore, we are increasing the estimated hour burden for this collection. 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). No items of a sensitive nature are collected. Responses are required to obtain or retain benefits. Frequency: Annually and on occasion. Description of Respondents: Potential respondents comprise States, counties, localities and tribes. PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We are estimating that the annual reporting burden for this collection is about 200 hours, assuming an emergency declaration is made each year. Individual Entity Compilation: 25 entities × 1 hour/entity × 2 responses/ year = 50 hours; Individual State Compilation: 15 States × 5 hours/State × 2 responses/year = 150 hours (50 county hours + 150 State hours = 200 total burden hours). Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have identified no non-hour paperwork cost burdens for this collection. 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 on: (a) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary, including whether or not the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden on respondents. 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 costs or annual operation, maintenance, and purchase of service costs. 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: (a) Before October 1, 1995; (b) to comply with requirements not associated with the information collection; (c) for reasons other than to provide information or keep records for E:\FR\FM\03OCN1.SGM 03OCN1 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 192 / Thursday, October 3, 2013 / Notices the Government; or (d) 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 1010-0187.
    Title: Project Planning for the Use of Outer Continental Shelf 
Sand, Gravel, and Shell Resources in Construction Projects that Qualify 
for a Negotiated Noncompetitive Agreement.
    Abstract: Under the authority delegated by the Secretary of the 
Interior, BOEM is authorized, pursuant to section 8(k)(2) of the OCS 
Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1337(k)(2)), to convey rights to OCS sand, gravel, 
and shell resources by noncompetitive negotiated agreement (NNA) for 
use in shore protection and beach and coastal restoration, or for use 
in construction projects funded in whole or part by, or authorized by, 
the Federal Government.

Background

    Since 1994, 39 shore protection or beach and coastal restoration 
projects have been completed using OCS sand resources, conveying more 
than 75 million cubic yards of OCS material and restoring more than 225 
miles of shoreline. Recently, the program has seen an increase in 
demand for OCS resources due to the decreasing availability of sand 
sources located in State waters and an increase in coastal storm 
intensity, duration, and frequency. In order for BOEM to continue to 
meet the needs of local, State and regional entities, information 
regarding upcoming projects must be acquired to plan for future 
projects and anticipated workload. Therefore, BOEM will issue calls for 
information about needed resources and locations from interested 
parties to develop and maintain a project schedule. This ICR addresses 
the information needed from States, local governments, Federal 
agencies, environmental and other interest organizations, and all other 
interested parties to update and maintain the project schedule. It 
includes the potential for an annual call for information and the 
potential for a call in response to an emergency declaration, such as a 
tropical storm.
    BOEM's calls for information (e.g., letters or Federal Register 
notices) will request interested parties to submit, in writing or 
electronically, a description of their proposed projects for which OCS 
resources will be used. The description must include the offshore 
borrow sites if known; the estimated date of construction; a short 
description of current project funding; the name of a primary point of 
contact with that person's mailing address, telephone number, and email 
address; as well as any additional information concerning the status of 
the project that would be useful to BOEM. This information may include 
detailed maps; geospatial data and coordinates of desired sand 
resources and sites that would be nourished; a description of the 
environmental documents that have been completed to date concerning any 
portion of the project; a cited reference list; status of geological 
and geophysical permit (if required); information concerning known or 
suspected archaeological or historic artifacts; interpretations of 
geology and extent of sand areas; known volumes of sand resource site; 
historical data related to the proposed borrow or placement area; and a 
description of the status of Federal, State, and/or local permits 
required for the project.
    In order to meet the needs of the States under the current BOEM 
staff and funding resources, BOEM may request the relevant States to 
prioritize their own projects based on several criteria including 
likelihood of project funding and progress of environmental work.
    The information provided by States will help BOEM determine 
appropriate future resource allocation, identify potential conflicts of 
use, conduct environmental analyses, develop NNAs, and meet all 
necessary environmental and legal requirements. With this renewal, we 
are also including a provision for a call in response to emergency 
declarations, such as a tropical storm. Hurricane Sandy demonstrated 
BOEM's need for accurate and timely information following a natural 
disaster declaration. Therefore, we are increasing the estimated hour 
burden for this collection.
    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). No items of a sensitive 
nature are collected. Responses are required to obtain or retain 
benefits.
    Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
    Description of Respondents: Potential respondents comprise States, 
counties, localities and tribes.
    Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We are 
estimating that the annual reporting burden for this collection is 
about 200 hours, assuming an emergency declaration is made each year.
    Individual Entity Compilation: 25 entities x 1 hour/entity x 2 
responses/year = 50 hours; Individual State Compilation: 15 States x 5 
hours/State x 2 responses/year = 150 hours (50 county hours + 150 State 
hours = 200 total burden hours).
    Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have 
identified no non-hour paperwork cost burdens for this collection.
    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 on: (a) Whether or not the 
collection of information is necessary, including whether or not the 
information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the burden 
estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden on 
respondents.
    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 costs or annual operation, maintenance, and 
purchase of service costs. You should describe the methods you use to
