January 1, 2018, unless it is extended.
The land will remain open to all
allowable uses other than the mining
laws. This notice also gives an
opportunity for the public to comment
and to request a public meeting on the
withdrawal extension application.
DATES: Comments and public meeting
requests must be received by December
1, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting
requests should be sent to the Idaho
State Director, BLM, 1387 S. Vinnell
Way, Boise, Idaho 83709.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff
Cartwright, BLM Idaho State Office 208–
373–3885 or Sherry Stokes-Wood,
Lands, USFS Intermountain Regional
Office 801–625–5800. Persons who use
a telecommunications device for the
deaf (TDD) may call the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–
800–877–8339 to contact either of the
above individuals. The FIRS is available
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will
receive a reply during normal business
hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USFS
has filed an application requesting that
the Secretary of the Interior extend the
withdrawal created by PLO No. 7306 for
an additional 20-year term, subject to
valid existing rights. PLO No. 7306 (63
FR 109 (1998)) withdrew 3,805.87 acres
of National Forest System Land in the
Sawtooth National Forest, Cassia
County, Idaho from location and entry
under the United States mining laws,
but not from the general land laws or
leasing under the mineral leasing laws.
The purpose of the requested
withdrawal extension is to continue to
protect the Howell Canyon Recreation
Complex investments made by the
USFS and its permittees, and to
preserve a Research Natural Area.
The use of a right-of-way, interagency
agreement, or cooperative agreement
would not adequately protect the land
from nondiscretionary uses, which
could result in a permanent loss of
significant values and capital
investments.
There are no suitable alternative sites
with equal or greater benefit to the
government.
The USFS would not need to acquire
water rights to fulfill the purpose of the
requested withdrawal extension.
Records related to the application
may be examined by contacting Jeff
Cartwright at the above address or by
phone number.
For a period until December 1, 2015,
all persons who wish to submit
comments, suggestions, or objections in
connection with the withdrawal
extension application may present their

information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made

you may 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.
Notice is hereby given that an
opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the
withdrawal extension application. All
interested persons who desire a public
meeting for the purpose of being heard
on the withdrawal extension application
must submit a written request to the
BLM State Director at the ADDRESS
indicated above by December 1, 2015.

least 30 days before the scheduled date
of the meeting.
The application will be processed in
accordance with the regulations set
forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.

To comply with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), the Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) is
notifying the public that we have
submitted to OMB an information
collection request (ICR) to renew
approval of the paperwork requirements

Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart B, Plans
and Information.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0024.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1334), 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-use and
easement, or unit. 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; to balance orderly
energy resource development with
protection of human, marine, and

coastal environments; to ensure the
public a fair and equitable return on the
resources of the OCS; and to 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.
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 OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. Under the Department
of the Interior’s implementing policy,
the Bureau of Safety and Environmental
Enforcement (BSEE) is required to
charge fees for services that provide
special benefits or privileges to an
identifiable non-Federal recipient above
and beyond those which accrue to the
public at large. Deepwater Operations
Plans are subject to cost recovery, and
BSEE regulations specify a service fee
for this request.
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are under 30 CFR part
250, subpart B, and are among those
delegated to BSEE. This request also
covers any related Notices to Lessees
and Operators (NTLs) that BSEE issues
to clarify, supplement, or provide
additional guidance on some aspects of
our regulations.
Responses are mandatory or are
required to obtain or retain a benefit. No
questions of a sensitive nature are
asked. BSEE protects information
considered proprietary under the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and DOI’s implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, Data and
information to be made available to the
public or for limited inspection, 30 CFR
part 252, OCS Oil and Gas Information
Program.
We collect the information required
under this Subpart for:
§ 250.282—Post-Approval
Requirements for the EP, DPP, and
DOCD: While the information is
submitted to BOEM, BSEE analyzes and
evaluates the information and data
collected under this section of subpart
B to verify that an ongoing/completed
OCS operation is/was conducted in
compliance with established
environmental standards placed on the
activity.
§§ 250.286–295—Deepwater
Operations Plan (DWOP): BSEE
analyzes and evaluates the information
and data collected under this section of
subpart B to ensure that planned
operations are safe; will not adversely
affect the marine, coastal, or human
environment; and will conserve the
resources of the OCS. We use the
information to make an informed
decision on whether to approve the
proposed deepwater operations plans
(DWOPs), or whether modifications are
necessary without the analysis and
evaluation of the required information.
Frequency: On occasion and as
required by regulation.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise OCS Federal oil,
gas, or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
information collection is a total of
37,084 hours. The following chart
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.

$39,589 Non-Hour Cost Burdens
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified one non-hour cost
associated with this IC; DWOP’s
($3,599) under § 250.292, and estimate
that the annual total non-hour cost
burden is $39,589. We have not
identified any other non-hour cost
burdens associated with this collection
of information.
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: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.,)
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 to:
(a) Evaluate whether the collection is
necessary or useful; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) enhance
the quality, usefulness, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and (d)
minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
technology.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on May 22, 2015,
we published a Federal Register notice
(80 FR 29736) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In
addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:04 Sep 01, 2015
Jkt 235001
Control Number for the information
collection requirements imposed by the
30 CFR part 250, subpart B regulations.
The regulation also 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 received
one comment in response to the Federal
Register notice. The comment from a
private citizen pertained to why weren’t
plans submitted electronically thereby
reducing the paperwork burden and
would also assist in retention of such
plans. BSEE’s response: Since the split,
some plans have been transferred to
BOEM under 30 CFR part 550 and some
to BSEE. As to the plans that are
submitted to BSEE, we are developing
requirements for a new ePlans and
ePermits (electronic submittal) project
that does include Deepwater Operations
Plans (DWOPs) that should start in
development by FY 2016.
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.

Drug Enforcement Administration
[Docket No. 14–6]
Abbas E. Sina, M.D.; Decision and
Order
On May 15, 2015, the thenAdministrator of the Drug Enforcement
Administration issued the attached
order. Therein, based on her review of
the record, the then-Administrator
concluded that, in the event Respondent
presented evidence that he has
continued to comply with his
Professionals Resource Network (PRN)
contract and has passed all drug tests
since the closing of the record, he is
entitled to be registered subject to the
extensive conditions set forth in her
order. The then-Administrator thus
ordered Respondent to provide such
evidence.
In response to the order, Respondent
provided his drug test results, all of
which have been negative. Respondent
did not, however, provide evidence of
his compliance with the other terms of
his PRN contract. Accordingly, on July
27, 2015, I issued an order directing
Respondent to ‘‘provide a sworn letter
from the PRN attesting to his continued
compliance with his PRN contract.’’
Order of the Administrator, at 1 (July 27,
2015).
Respondent has now complied and
submitted a notarized letter from
Penelope P. Ziegler, M.D., the PRN’s
Medical Director, attesting that he has
remained fully compliant with his PRN
contract. I therefore conclude that
Respondent has met the requirements
for obtaining a new registration as set

(43 U.S.C. 1334), authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to prescribe
rules and regulations necessary for the administration of the leasing

balance orderly energy resource development with protection of human,

coastal environments; to ensure the public a fair and equitable return
on the resources of the OCS; and to 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

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.
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 OMB Circular A-25, authorize Federal agencies to recover the

information considered proprietary under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) and DOI's implementing regulations (43 CFR part 2), and
under regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, Data and information to be made

$39,589 Non-Hour Cost Burdens
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have
identified one non-hour cost associated with this IC; DWOP's ($3,599)
under Sec. 250.292, and estimate that the annual total non-hour cost
burden is $39,589. We have not identified any other non-hour cost
burdens associated with this collection of information.
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: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et
seq.,) 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 to: (a) Evaluate whether the
collection is necessary or useful; (b) evaluate the accuracy of the
burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) enhance the
quality, usefulness, and clarity of the information to be collected;
and (d) minimize the burden on the respondents, including the use of
technology.
To comply with the public consultation process, on May 22, 2015, we
published a Federal Register notice (80 FR 29736) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In addition, Sec. 250.199 provides the
OMB Control Number for the information collection requirements imposed
by the 30 CFR part 250, subpart B regulations. The regulation also
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 received one comment in response to the Federal Register
notice. The comment from a private citizen pertained to why weren't
plans submitted electronically thereby reducing the paperwork burden
and would also assist in retention of such plans. BSEE's response:
Since the split, some plans have been transferred to BOEM under 30 CFR
part 550 and some to BSEE. As to the plans that are submitted to BSEE,
we are developing requirements for a new ePlans and ePermits
(electronic submittal) project that does include Deepwater Operations
Plans (DWOPs) that should start in development by FY 2016.
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: August 5, 2015.

Deputy Chief, Office of Offshore Regulatory Programs.
