We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are especially interested in public comments addressing the following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper functions of BSEE; (2) Will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) Is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) How might BSEE enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) How might BSEE minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of information technology. Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request to OMB to approve this ICR. 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.

Abstract: The regulations at 30 CFR part 203, concern relief or reduction in royalty rates and are the subject of this collection. 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. The BSEE uses the information to make decisions on the economic viability of leases requesting a suspension or elimination of royalty or net profit share. These decisions have enormous monetary impact on both the lessee and the Federal Government. Royalty relief can lead to increased production of natural gas and oil, creating profits for lessees, and royalty and tax revenues for the Federal Government that they might not otherwise receive. We could not make an informed decision without the collection of information required by 30 CFR part 203. Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 203, Relief or Reduction in Royalty Rates. OMB Control Number: 1014–0005. Form Number: None. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Persons with mobility impairments who will need special assistance in gaining access to the Commission should contact the Office of the Secretary at 202–205–2000. Background: In his request letter (received April 6, 2018), the USTR stated that U.S. negotiators have recently reached an agreement in principle with representatives of the government of Korea on modifications to the FTA regarding the staging of duty treatment for certain motor vehicles. The USTR noted that section 201(b)(2) of the United States—Korea Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (the Act) authorizes the President, subject to the consultation and layover requirements of section 104 of the Act, to proclaim such tariff modifications as the President determines to be necessary or appropriate to maintain the general level of reciprocal and mutually advantageous concessions with respect to Korea provided for by the FTA. He noted that one of the requirements set out in section 104 of the Act is that the President obtain advice regarding the proposed action from the U.S. International Trade Commission. In the request letter, the USTR asked that the Commission provide advice on the probable economic effect of the modifications on U.S. trade under the FTA and on domestic producers of the affected articles. He asked that the Commission provide its advice at the earliest possible date but no later than eight weeks from receipt of the request. He also asked that the Commission issue, as soon as possible thereafter, a public version of its report with any confidential business information deleted. The products identified in the proposal are motor vehicles for the transport of goods provided for in subheadings 8704.21.00, 8704.22.50, 8704.23.00, 8704.31.00, 8704.32.00, and 8704.90.00 of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The request letter and the proposed modification are available on the Commission’s website at https:// www.usitc.gov/research_and_analysis/ what_we_are_working_on.htm. As requested, the Commission will provide its advice to USTR by June 1, 2018. Written Submissions: No public hearing is planned. However, interested parties are invited to file written submissions. All written submissions should be addressed to the Secretary, and should be received no later than E:\FR\FM\17APN1.SGM 17APN1
