Solicitation of Public Comment This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected parties concerning the collection of information described in this notice on the following: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility. (2) The accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information. (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected or any content of the Closing Documents. (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. (5) With respect to the Construction Contract (HUD–92442M) and the HUD Amendment to AIA Document B108 (HUD–92408–M) (‘‘Owner-Architect Agreement’’), are there states with attorney fee shifting statutes that favor contractors and/or architects, such that contractors and/or architects are awarded attorney’s fees when they prevail against owners in litigation, but owners who prevail are not similarly awarded attorney’s fees unless there is VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:15 Oct 28, 2013 Jkt 232001 an explicit provision for such awards in the construction contract or ownerarchitect agreement? If so, does this create an imbalance between the parties that HUD should address in these form documents? Further, irrespective of whether such state fee shifting statutes exist, should the Construction Contract (HUD–92442M) and the HUD Amendment to AIA Document B108 (HUD–92408–M) be revised to include a provision allowing attorney fees to the prevailing party in litigation? (6) Whether the new form, Consolidated Certifications—Borrower (HUD–91070M), improves efficiency by consolidating all the certifications the borrower is required to make in a single form. (7) Whether the new form, Escrow Agreement for Off-site Facilities (HUD– 91071M), effectively streamlines, updates and standardizes an outdated and difficult to locate form used in certain situations when there is required work to be performed away from the HUD project site by combining HUD’s requirements for the escrow for off-site work with the more modern approach taken in HUD’s other escrow forms used in FHA-insured multifamily rental closings. HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to these questions. Authority: Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

OMB Control Number: 1014–0006. 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 necessary for the administration of the leasing provisions of that Act related to mineral resources on the OCS. Such rules and regulations will apply to all operations conducted under a lease, right-of-way, or a right-of-use and easement. Operations on the OCS must preserve, protect, and develop mineral resources in a manner that is consistent with the need to make such resources available to meet the Nation’s energy needs as rapidly as possible; balance orderly energy resource development with protection of human, marine, and coastal environments; ensure the public a fair and equitable return on the resources of the OCS; and preserve and maintain free enterprise competition. In addition to the general rulemaking authority of the OCSLA at 43 U.S.C. 1334, section 301(a) of the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act (FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants authority to the Secretary to prescribe such rules and regulations as are reasonably necessary to carry out FOGRMA’s provisions. While the majority of FOGRMA is directed to royalty collection and enforcement, some provisions apply to offshore operations. For example, section 108 of FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1718, grants the Secretary broad authority to inspect lease sites for the purpose of determining whether there is compliance with the mineral leasing laws. Section 109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30 U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) and (d)(1), impose substantial civil penalties for failure to permit lawful inspections and for knowing or willful preparation or submission of false, inaccurate, or misleading reports, records, or other information. Because the Secretary has delegated some of the authority under FOGRMA to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is included as additional authority for these requirements. Regulations implementing these responsibilities are under 30 CFR part 250. Responses are mandatory and/or required to obtain or retain a benefit. No questions of a sensitive nature are asked. The BSEE will protect proprietary information according to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing regulations (43 CFR 2); 30 CFR 250.197, Data and information to be made available to the public or for limited inspection; and 30 E:\FR\FM\29OCN1.SGM 29OCN1
