available for future anticipated
demands;
• Guidelines and criteria for future
allotment-specific adjustments, such as
rotational grazing plans which affect the
livestock use;
• Impacts on local custom and
culture as well as the area’s economy;
and
• Management of existing rangeland
improvement seedings.
Additional issues will likely be added
through the public scoping process.
Planning criteria are the standards,
rules, and other factors developed by
managers and interdisciplinary teams
for their use in forming judgments about
decision making, analysis, and data
collection during planning. Planning
criteria streamline and simplify the
resource management planning actions.
The following preliminary criteria will
be considered in the Plan Amendment
and EIS process:
• The Plan Amendment will be
limited to making land use planning
decisions specific to livestock grazing.
• Lands addressed in the Plan
Amendment will be public lands
managed by the BLM and the NPS.
• Grazing within the GCNRA will be
administered in a portion of GCNRA in
a manner that protects GCNRA values
and purposes pursuant to Public Law
92–593 and in accordance with the 1916
NPS Organic Act.
• The process must utilize The Utah
Standards for Rangeland Health and
Guidelines for Livestock Grazing
Management. The BLM will apply
existing applicable Land Health
Standards to all alternatives.
• The approved GSENM Plan
Amendment will comply with FLPMA,
NEPA, National Historic Preservation
Act, and Council on Environmental
Quality regulations at 40 CFR parts
1500–1508 and Department of the
Interior regulations at 43 CFR part 46
and 43 CFR part 1600; the BLM H–
1601–1 Land Use Planning Handbook;
the 2008 BLM H–1790–1 NEPA
Handbook, and all other applicable
BLM policies and guidance.
• Land use planning decisions must
be consistent with the purpose and
objectives outlined in the presidential
proclamation for the GSENM and the
enabling legislation for GCNRA, as
applicable.
• Socio-economic analysis will use an
accepted input-output quantitative
model such as IMPLAN or RIMSII, and/
or JEDI for analysis.
• The BLM and NPS will review and
use as appropriate current scientific
information, research, technologies, and
results of inventory, monitoring, and

coordination to determine appropriate
management strategies.
• The BLM and NPS will coordinate
and communicate with State, local, and
tribal governments to ensure that the
BLM and NPS consider provisions of
pertinent plans, seek to resolve
inconsistencies between State, local,
and Tribal plans, and provide ample
opportunities for State, local, and Tribal
governments to comment on the
development of amendments.
• The Plan Amendment will be based
on the principles of Adaptive
Management.
You may submit comments on issues
and planning criteria in writing to the
BLM at any public scoping meeting, or
you may submit them to the BLM using
one of the methods listed in the
ADDRESSES section above. To be most
helpful, you should submit comments
before the close of the public scoping
period. 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 request we withhold
your personal identifying information
from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
The minutes and list of attendees for
each public scoping meeting will be
available to the public and open for 30
days after the meeting to any participant
who wishes to clarify the views he or
she expressed. The BLM will evaluate
identified issues to be addressed in the
plan amendment, and will place them
into one of three categories:
1. Issues to be resolved in the plan
amendment;
2. Issues to be resolved through policy
or administrative action; or
3. Issues beyond the scope of this plan
amendment.
The BLM will provide an explanation
in the Draft Plan Amendment/EIS as to
why an issue was placed in category
two or three. The public is also
encouraged to help identify any
management questions and concerns
that should be addressed in the plan.
The BLM will work collaboratively with
interested parties to identify the
management decisions that are best
suited to local, regional, and national
needs and concerns.
The BLM will use an interdisciplinary
approach to develop the plan
amendment in order to consider the
variety of issues and concerns
identified. Specialists with expertise in
the following disciplines will be
involved in the planning process:

OMB Control Number: 1010–0006.
Title: 30 CFR Part 556, Leasing of

560 OCS Oil and Gas Leasing.
Forms: BOEM–0150, 0151, 0152,

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 the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease.
Operations on the OCS must preserve,
protect, and develop oil and natural gas
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.
Also, the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA)
prohibits certain lease bidding
arrangements (42 U.S.C. 6213(c)).
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 Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A–25, authorize
Federal agencies to recover the full cost
of services that provide special benefits.
Under the Department of the Interior’s
(DOI) implementing policy, the Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is
required to charge the full cost for
services that provide special benefits or
privileges to an identifiable non-Federal
recipient above and beyond those that
accrue to the public at large.
Instruments of transfer of a lease or
interest are subject to cost recovery, and
BOEM regulations specify the filing fee
for these transfer applications.
This notice concerns the reporting
and recordkeeping requirements of
BOEM regulations at 30 CFR Part 556,
Leasing of Sulphur or Oil and Gas in the
OCS; 30 CFR Part 550, Subpart J,
PO 00000
Frm 00107

Pipelines and Pipeline Rights-of-Way;
30 CFR Part 560, OCS Oil and Gas
Leasing; as well as the related Notices
to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that
clarify and provide additional guidance
on some aspects of these regulations.
This ICR also concerns the use of forms
to process bonds, transfer interest in
leases, and file relinquishments.
• BOEM–0150, Assignment of Record
Title Interest in Federal OCS Oil and
Gas Lease,
• BOEM–0151, Assignment of
Operating Rights Interest in Federal
OCS Oil and Gas Lease,
• BOEM–0152, Relinquishment of
Federal OCS Oil and Gas Lease,
• BOEM–2028, OCS Mineral Lessee’s
and Operator’s Bond,
• BOEM–2028A, OCS Mineral
Lessee’s and Operator’s Supplemental
Plugging and Abandonment Bond,
• BOEM–2030, OCS Pipeline Rightof-Way Grant Bond.
BOEM uses the information collected
to determine if applicants are qualified
to hold leases in the OCS, to assign a
qualification number to avoid
respondent submission of information
already on file; develop the semiannual
List of Restricted Joint Bidders; ensure
the qualification of transferees and track
operators on leaseholds; document that
a leasehold or geographical subdivision
has been surrendered by the record title
holder; and ensure that adequate funds
are secured to complete existing and
future bond obligations.
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
according to section 26 of the OCS
Lands Act, the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), 30 CFR
556.10(d). No items of a sensitive nature
are collected. Responses are mandatory
or are required to obtain a benefit.
Frequency: On occasion or annual.
Description of Respondents:
Respondents comprise Federal oil, gas,
or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect
the annual reporting burden estimate for
this collection to be 16,235 hours. The
following table details the individual
components and respective hour burden
estimates of this ICR.
