SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ONRR publishes a list of market centers for use in Federal oil valuation calculations under 30 CFR 1206.112. This regulation applies to payors who are applying adjustments and transportation allowances when Federal oil production is valued using NYMEX prices or ANS spot prices. Under § 1206.113, ONRR will monitor market activity and, if necessary, add to or modify the list of market centers. ONRR last published the list of market centers in the Federal Register on June 20, 2000 (65 FR 38299). Under § 1206.113, ONRR will consider the following factors and conditions in specifying market centers: 1. Points where ONRR-approved publications publish prices useful for index purposes; 2. Markets served; 3. Input from Industry and others knowledgeable in crude oil marketing and transportation; 4. Simplification; and 5. Other relevant matters. ONRR is seeking comments on its proposal to modify the list of market centers and the oil types at each location as listed below: Market center location Oil types Authorities: 30 CFR 1206.113.

[Docket No. BOEM–2015–0068] Environmental Impact Statement on the Liberty Development and Production Plan in the Beaufort Sea Planning Area Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Interior. ACTION: Notice of availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement. AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is announcing the availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Liberty Development and Production Plan (DPP) in the Beaufort Sea Planning Area. The FEIS analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the proposed action described in the Liberty DPP and reasonable alternatives to the proposed action. SUMMARY: Electronic copies of the FEIS and associated information is available on BOEM’s website at: https:// www.boem.gov/liberty. ADDRESSES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lauren Boldrick, Project Manager, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Alaska OCS Region, 3801 Centerpoint Drive, Suite 500, Anchorage, Alaska 99503, 907–334–5200. The proposed action would recover and process oil from the Liberty oil field and transport sales-quality oil to market. To accomplish this, Hilcorp Alaska LLC would construct the Liberty Drilling and Production Island (LDPI) to recover reserves from three Federal leases (OCS–Y–1585, OCS–Y–1650, and OCS– Y–1886) in Foggy Island Bay of the Beaufort Sea. The ocean bottom footprint of the proposed LDPI is approximately 24 acres. Hilcorp would construct a new pipeline linking the LDPI to the Badami Sales Oil Pipeline (Badami pipeline). They would bury the subsea portion (approximately 5.6 miles) of the pipeline along a route running south from the LPDI to the Alaska coastline west of the Kadleroshilik River. The pipeline would transition to above-ground for approximately 1.5 miles and tie into the existing Badami pipeline. Hilcorp would produce and process oil from the LDPI, transport it through the Badami pipeline to the existing common carrier pipeline system, and from there on to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. The full text of the mitigation measures which will be included in the project approval are available in the Liberty DPP FEIS.

Abstract: Pursuant to the Boulder Canyon Project Act (43 U.S.C. 617, Pub. L. 642–70th Congress, 45 Stat. 1057), all diversions of mainstream Colorado River water must be in accordance with a Colorado River water entitlement. The Consolidated Decree of the United States Supreme Court in Arizona v. California, 547 U.S. 150 (2006) requires the Secretary of the Interior to account for all diversions of mainstream Colorado River water along the lower Colorado River, including water drawn from the mainstream by underground pumping. To meet the water entitlement and accounting obligations, an inventory of wells and river pumps is required along the lower Colorado River, and the gathering of specific information concerning these wells. Title of Collection: Lower Colorado River Well Inventory. OMB Control Number: 1006–0014. Form Number: Form LC–25. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Well owners and operators along the lower Colorado River in Arizona, California, and Nevada. Each diverter (including well pumpers) must be identified and their diversion locations and water use determined. Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 150. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 150. Estimated Completion Time per Response: Approximately 20 minutes is required to interview individual well and river-pump owners or operators. PO 00000 Frm 00110 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 44671 Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 50 hours. Respondent’s Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit. Frequency of Collection: These data are collected only once for each well or river-pump owner or operator as long as changes in water use, or other changes that would impact contractual or administrative requirements, are not made. A respondent may request that the data for its well or river pump be updated after the initial inventory. Total Estimated Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: 0. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Dated: May 7, 2018. Terrance J. Fulp, Regional Director, Lower Colorado Region.
