FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anna Atkinson, Office of Policy, Regulations, and Analysis at (703) 787– 1025 to request a copy of the ICR. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 1010–0082. Title: 30 CFR part 581, Leasing of Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur in the Outer Continental Shelf. Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act (Act), as amended (43 U.S.C. 1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)), authorizes the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to administer the provisions relating to the leasing of the OCS, and to prescribe such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out such provisions. Additionally, the Act authorizes the Secretary to implement regulations to grant to qualified persons, offering the highest cash bonuses on the basis of competitive bidding, leases of any mineral other than oil, gas, and sulphur. This applies to any area of the OCS not then under lease for such mineral upon royalty, rental, and other terms and conditions that the Secretary may prescribe at the time of the lease offer. The Secretary is to administer the leasing provisions of the Act and prescribe the rules and regulations necessary to carry out those provisions. Regulations at 30 CFR part 581 implement these statutory requirements. There has been no leasing activity in the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, or sulphur under these regulations for many years, and so BOEM has not generally collected information under this Part of its regulations; however, because these are regulatory requirements, the potential exists for information to be collected. Therefore, we are renewing OMB approval for this information collection. BOEM will use the information required by 30 CFR part 581 to determine if statutory requirements are met prior to the issuance of a lease. Specifically, BOEM will use the information to: • Evaluate the area and minerals requested by the lessee to assess the viability of offering leases for sale; • Request the state(s) to initiate the establishment of a joint group to assess the proposed action; • Ensure excessive overriding royalty interests are not created that would put economic constraints on all parties involved; • Document that a leasehold or geographical subdivision has been surrendered by the record title holder; and • Determine if activities on the proposed lease area(s) will have a significant impact on the environment. We protect proprietary information according to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and the Department of the Interior’s implementing regulations (43 CFR part 2), and 30 CFR 581.7. No items of a sensitive nature are collected. Responses are mandatory. Frequency: On occasion. Description of Respondents: As there are no active respondents, we estimate the potential annual number of respondents to be one. Potential respondents are OCS lease requestors, state governments, and OCS lessees. Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect the annual reporting burden for this renewal to be 984 hours, which reflects a decrease of 280 hour burdens. The following table details the individual components and respective hour burden estimates of this ICR. 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. In calculating burdens, responses to requests for information and interest or proposed notices of sale pursuant to 30 CFR 581.12 and 581.16 do not constitute information collection under 5 CFR 1320.3(h)(4). These inquiries are general solicitations of public comment, so BOEM has removed the burden hours associated with them reflecting a decrease of 280 hour burdens.

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. 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 the Government; or (d) as part of VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:21 Apr 13, 2017 Jkt 241001 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. Public Availability of Comments: Our practice is to make comments, including names, phone numbers, email addresses, and home addresses of respondents, available for public review. Individual respondents may request that we withhold such information, which we will honor to the extent allowable by law. If you wish us to withhold this information, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comment. However, we will make all submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, available for public inspection in their entirety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 1010-0082.
Title: 30 CFR part 581, Leasing of Minerals Other than Oil, Gas,
and Sulphur in the Outer Continental Shelf.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act (Act), as
amended (43 U.S.C. 1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)), authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to administer the provisions
relating to the leasing of the OCS, and to prescribe such rules and
regulations as may be necessary to carry out such provisions.
Additionally, the Act authorizes the Secretary to implement regulations
to grant to qualified persons, offering the highest cash bonuses on the
basis of competitive bidding, leases of any mineral other than oil,
gas, and sulphur. This applies to any area of the OCS not then under
lease for such mineral upon royalty, rental, and other terms and
conditions that the Secretary may prescribe at the time of the lease
offer. The Secretary is to administer the leasing provisions of the Act
and prescribe the rules and regulations necessary to carry out those
provisions.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 581 implement these statutory
requirements. There has been no leasing activity in the OCS for
minerals other than oil, gas, or sulphur under these regulations for
many years, and so BOEM has not generally collected information under
this Part of its regulations; however, because these are regulatory
requirements, the potential exists for information to be collected.
Therefore, we are renewing OMB approval for this information
collection.
BOEM will use the information required by 30 CFR part 581 to
determine if statutory requirements are met prior to the issuance of a
lease. Specifically, BOEM will use the information to:
Evaluate the area and minerals requested by the lessee to
assess the viability of offering leases for sale;
Request the state(s) to initiate the establishment of a
joint group to assess the proposed action;
Ensure excessive overriding royalty interests are not
created that would put economic constraints on all parties involved;
Document that a leasehold or geographical subdivision has
been surrendered by the record title holder; and
Determine if activities on the proposed lease area(s) will
have a significant impact on the environment.
We protect proprietary information according to the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and the Department of the Interior's
implementing regulations (43 CFR part 2), and 30 CFR 581.7. No items of
a sensitive nature are collected. Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion.
Description of Respondents: As there are no active respondents, we
estimate the potential annual number of respondents to be one.
Potential respondents are OCS lease requestors, state governments, and
OCS lessees.
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect the
annual reporting burden for this renewal to be 984 hours, which
reflects a decrease of 280 hour burdens.
The following table details the individual components and
respective hour burden estimates of this ICR. 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.
In calculating burdens, responses to requests for information and
interest or proposed notices of sale pursuant to 30 CFR 581.12 and
581.16 do not constitute information collection under 5 CFR
1320.3(h)(4). These inquiries are general solicitations of public
comment, so BOEM has removed the burden hours associated with them
reflecting a decrease of 280 hour burdens.

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Non-Hour Cost'' Burden: We
have identified one non-hour cost burden for this collection, a $50
required or non-required filing document fee under 30 CFR 581.41.
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.
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
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 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.
Public Availability of Comments: Our practice is to make comments,
including names, phone numbers, email addresses, and home addresses of
respondents, available for public review. Individual respondents may
request that we withhold such information, which we will honor to the
extent allowable by law. If you wish us to withhold this information,
you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comment.
However, we will make all submissions from organizations or businesses,
and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or
officials of organizations or businesses, available for public
inspection in their entirety.
The authorities for this action are the OCS Lands Act, as amended
(43 U.S.C. 1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)), and the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C 3501 et seq.).
