SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on April 1,
2019 (84 FR 12277). No comments were
received.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 26, 2019 / Notices
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of
BOEM; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might BOEM enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might BOEM minimize the burden of
this collection on the respondents,
including minimizing the burden
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 the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for approval of this ICR. You
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your address,
phone number, email address, or other
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
In order for BOEM to withhold from
disclosure your personally identifiable
information, you must identify any
information contained in the submittal
of your comments that, if released,
would clearly constitute an
unwarranted invasion of your personal
privacy. You must also briefly describe
any possible harmful consequences of
the disclosure of your information, such
as embarrassment, injury, or other harm.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personally identifiable
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
BOEM protects proprietary
information in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and the Department of the
Interior’s implementing regulations (43
CFR part 2), and under regulations at 30
CFR 580.70 and applicable sections of
30 CFR parts 550 and 552 promulgated
pursuant to Outer Continental Shelf
Lands Act (OCSLA) at 43 U.S.C. 1352(c).
Abstract: This information collection
request concerns the paperwork
requirements in the regulations under
30 CFR part 550, part 556, and part 560,
Leasing of Sulfur or Oil and Gas in the
Outer Continental Shelf.
The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1331
et seq., and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to prescribe rules and regulations to
administer leasing of the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease.
Operations on the OCS must preserve,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
protect, and develop oil and natural gas
resources in a manner that is consistent
with the need to make such resources
available to meet the Nation’s energy
needs; balance orderly energy resource
development with protection of human,
marine, and coastal environments;
ensure the public a fair and equitable
return on the resources of the OCS; and
preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition. Also, the Energy Policy
and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA)
prohibits certain lease bidding
arrangements (42 U.S.C. 6213(c)).
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Act (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A–25, authorize
Federal agencies to recover the full cost
of services that provide special benefits.
Under the Department of the Interior’s
(DOI) implementing policy, BOEM is
required to charge the full cost for
services that provide special benefits or
privileges to an identifiable non-Federal
recipient above and beyond those that
accrue to the public at large. Approvals
of the transfer of a lease or interest
therein are subject to cost recovery, and
BOEM regulations specify the filing fee
for these transfer applications.
This notice concerns the reporting
and recordkeeping requirements of
BOEM regulations at 30 CFR part 550,
subpart J, Pipelines and Pipeline Rightsof-Way; 30 CFR part 556, Leasing of
Sulphur or Oil and Gas in the OCS; 30
CFR part 560, OCS Oil and Gas Leasing;
as well as the related Notices to Lessees
and Operators (NTLs) that clarify and
provide additional guidance on some
aspects of these regulations. This ICR
also concerns the use of forms to
process bonds, transfer interest in
leases, and file relinquishments.
Title of Collection: Leasing of Sulfur
or Oil and Gas in the Outer Continental
Shelf (30 CFR part 550, part 556, and
part 560).

Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Federal
oil, gas, or sulphur lessees and/or
operators.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 10,307 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 19,054 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory
or Required to Obtain or Retain a
Benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
or annual.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour
Burden Cost: $766,053.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect
the burden estimate for the renewal will
be 19,054 hours, which reflects a
decrease of 400 burden hours. A
reduction of 80 hours is related to
respondents’ submission of designation
of operator form (Form BOEM–1123);
this burden is now captured in OMB
control number 1010–0114. And the
remaining reduction of 320 hours is for
activities within 30 CFR part 556,
subpart B, that are not considered
information collection activities under 5
CFR 1320.3(h)(4), but were previously
counted as information collection
activities.
In calculating the cost for the hour
burdens, we assumed that respondents
perform certain requirements in the
normal course of their activities. We
consider some information collection
activities to be usual and customary,
and we take that into account in
estimating the burden.
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.
Authority: The authority for this action is
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Chief, Office of Policy, Regulations, and
Analysis.
