FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert Jolley, at 806–356–1002. Persons
who use a telecommunication device for
the deaf may call the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–
800–877–8339, to leave a message for
Mr. Jolley. The FIRS is available 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. You will
receive a reply during normal business
hours. You may also review the
information collection request online at
https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501–3521) and OMB regulations at 5
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 April 16, 2015, and
the comment period ended June 15,
2015. The BLM received comments from
one commenter. The commenter stated
that we underestimated the burdens for
‘‘Refined Helium Deliveries Detail’’ and
‘‘Refiners’ Tolling Occurrence Report.’’
In response, the BLM re-considered the
burden estimates and changed the
burden estimates for each of these
information collection activities to four
hours. The commenter also suggested
revisions of the descriptions of the
information collection activities to be
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
61231
consistent with the 2013 Act. The BLM
concurs with these modifications and
has made the suggested revisions.
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 1004–0179
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 pertains to
this request:
Title: Helium Contracts (43 CFR part
3195).
OMB Control Number: 1004–0179.
Summary: At present, control number
1004–0179 (expiration date: April 30,
2017) enables the BLM to monitor
purchases and sales of helium from the
Federal Helium Reserve. This
information collection activity is in
accordance with the BLM’s authority to
implement in-kind sales of helium in
accordance with 43 CFR part 3195. The
BLM seeks OMB clearance to revise and
extend this ongoing collection of
information for another 3 years. The
requested revision will be the addition
of a new form (‘‘Refined Helium
Deliveries Detail’’) that will replace the
existing non-form activity titled ‘‘Sales
Reports.’’
In addition, the BLM seeks OMB
clearance to add information collection
activities that are necessary for the
implementation of the Helium
Stewardship Act of 2013 (Act or 2013
Act), Public Law 113–40 (127 Stat. 534,
codified at 50 U.S.C. 167–167q). Section
5(b)(8) of the 2013 Act amends 50 U.S.C.
167d, and establishes the following
E:\FR\FM\09OCN1.SGM
09OCN1
61232
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 196 / Friday, October 9, 2015 / Notices
additional terms and conditions of
Federal helium sales that necessitate
new information collection activities:
• Parties to a helium storage contract
with the BLM must disclose on a strictly
confidential basis:
(1) The volumes and associated prices
in dollars per thousand cubic feet (Mcf)
in purchase and sales transactions made
pursuant to any agreement entered into
or renegotiated agreement during the
preceding 1-year period in the United
States involving at least 15 million
standard cubic feet of crude or pure
helium;
(2) Refinery operational capacity,
future operational capacity, and excess
refining capacity in Mcf; and
• Refiners of crude helium that enter
into ‘‘tolling agreements’’ must submit a
Tolling Occurrence Report to the BLM
whenever they enter into such tolling
agreements. (‘‘Tolling agreements’’
refers to the helium industry’s practice
of processing or refining another party’s
helium at an agreed upon price. While
refiners can purchase, access, and refine
their own helium, non-refiners rely
upon the refiners to process and refine
the helium that they have purchased—
this process is called tolling.)
Frequency of Collection: Quarterly for
the Refined Helium Deliveries Detail;
annually for the Calculation of Excess
Refining Capacity and Refiners’ Annual
Tolling Report; and ‘‘on occasion’’ for
the Refiners’ Tolling Occurrence Report.
