addressing the following issues: (1) Is
the collection necessary to the proper
functions of the NPS; (2) will this
information be processed and used in a
timely manner; (3) is the estimate of
burden accurate; (4) how might the NPS
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(5) how might the NPS 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

Abstract: The Organic Act of 1916
(NPS Organic Act) (54 U.S.C. 100101)
PO 00000
Frm 00067
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to develop regulations for units of the
national park system (System units)
under the Department’s jurisdiction.
The Mining in the Parks Act (54 U.S.C.
100731 et seq.) directs the Secretary of
the Interior to regulate all operations in
System units in connection with the
exercise of mineral rights on patented
and unpatented mining claims.
The regulations at 36 CFR part 9,
subparts A and B, ensure that mining
and non-Federal oil and gas activities in
System units are conducted in a manner
consistent with conserving each System
unit for the benefit of present and future
generations. The information required
by Subpart A identifies the claim,
claimant, and operator (the claimant
and operator are often the same) and
details how the operator intends to
access and develop the minerals
associated with the claim. It also
identifies the steps the operator intends
to take to minimize any adverse impacts
of the mining operations on park
resource and values. No information,
except claim ownership information, is
submitted unless the claimant wishes to
conduct mining operations. The
information required by subpart B
identifies the owner and operator (the
owner and operator are often the same)
and details how the operator intends to
access and develop the oil and gas
rights. It also identifies the steps the
operator intends to take to minimize any
adverse impacts on park resources and
values. No information is submitted
unless the owner wishes to conduct oil
and gas operations.
With this submission, we plan to
request OMB approval to consolidate
the information collection requirements
currently approved under OMB Control
No. 1024–0274, ‘‘Non-Federal Oil and
Gas Rights, 36 CFR part 9, subpart B’’
into this collection. We identified the
information collection requirements
associated with 1024–0274 in the
burden table below. If OMB approves
this revision, we will discontinue OMB
Control Number 1024–0274.
Title of Collection: Mining and
Mining Claims and Non-Federal Oil and
Gas Rights, 36 CFR part 9, subparts A
and B.
