Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 19 / Wednesday, January 29, 2020 / Notices
In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, BOEM provides
the general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps BOEM 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.
BOEM is soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR 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) what can BOEM
do to ensure that this information will
be processed and used in a timely
manner; (3) is the burden estimate
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 submitted in response to
this notice are a matter of public record.
BOEM 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 personally
identifiable 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 constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of your personal privacy. You
must also briefly describe any possible
harmful consequences of the disclosure
of information, such as embarrassment,
injury, or other harm. While you can ask
us in your comment to withhold your
personally identifiable information from
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 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: The Outer Continental Shelf
Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1334 and 43 U.S.C.
1337(k)(1)) authorizes the Secretary of
the Interior to issue regulations to grant
to qualified persons who offer the
highest cash bonus on a basis of
competitive bidding, leases of any
mineral other than oil, gas, and sulphur
in any area of the Outer Continental
Shelf not then under lease for such
mineral upon such royalty, rental, and
other terms and conditions as the
Secretary may prescribe at the time of
offering the area for lease.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 582 carry
out these statutory requirements by
governing mining operations within the
OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, and
sulphur and establishing a
comprehensive regulatory program for
such minerals.
There has been no competitive leasing
activity in the OCS for minerals other
than oil, gas, and sulphur for many
years. Accordingly, BOEM has not
generally collected information under
this Part of its regulations. However,
since 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 582 to
determine if lessees are complying with
the regulations for mining minerals
other than oil, gas, and sulphur. BOEM
will also use the information to ensure
that such operations are conducted in a
manner that will result in orderly
resource recovery, development, and the
protection of the human, marine, and
coastal environments and for technical
and environmental evaluations which
provide a basis for BOEM to make
informed decisions to approve,
disapprove, or require modification of
the proposed activities.
We protect proprietary information
according to the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and the Department’s
implementing regulations (43 CFR part
2), 30 CFR 582.5 and 582.6, and
applicable sections of 30 CFR parts 580
and 581. No items of a sensitive nature
are collected.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR 582,
Operations in the Outer Continental
Shelf for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas,
and Sulphur.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0081.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: As
there are no active respondents, we
estimated the potential annual number
of respondents to be one. Potential
respondents are OCS lessees.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: As there are no active
respondents, we estimated the potential
annual number of respondents to be
one.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 212 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory
or voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Monthly;
quarterly; on occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour
Burden Cost: We have identified no
non-hour paperwork cost burdens for
this collection.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect
the burden estimate for the renewal will
be 212 hours. The following table
details the individual BOEM
components and respective hour burden
estimates of this ICR. In calculating the
burdens, 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.

Inc. (‘‘Vulcan’’), Pelham, Alabama. The
Commission established a general
schedule for the conduct of the final
phase of the investigations following
notification of a preliminary
determination by Commerce that
imports of threaded rod from Thailand
were being sold at LTFV within the
meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19
U.S.C. 1673b(b)).3 Notice of the

Washington, DC, on October 15, 2019,
and all persons who requested the
opportunity were permitted to appear in
person or by counsel. The Commission
subsequently issued its final affirmative
determination regarding dumped
imports from Thailand on December 5,
2019 (84 FR 67476, December 10, 2019).
Following notification of a final
determination by Commerce that
imports of threaded rod from Taiwan
were being sold in the United States at
LTFV,4 notice of the supplemental
scheduling of the final phase of the
Commission’s antidumping duty
investigation with respect to Taiwan
was given by posting copies of the
notice in the Office of the Secretary,
U.S. International Trade Commission,
Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register of
December 16, 2019 (84 FR 68473).
The Commission made this
determination pursuant to section
735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)).
It completed and filed its determination
in this investigation on January 23,
2020. The views of the Commission are

submittal of your comments that, if released, would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of your personal privacy. You must also
briefly describe any possible harmful consequences of the disclosure of
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

43 U.S.C. 1337(k)(1)) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to issue
regulations to grant to qualified persons who offer the highest cash
bonus on a basis of competitive bidding, leases of any mineral other
than oil, gas, and sulphur in any area of the Outer Continental Shelf
not then under lease for such mineral upon such royalty, rental, and
other terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe at the time
of offering the area for lease.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 582 carry out these statutory
requirements by governing mining operations within the OCS for minerals
other than oil, gas, and sulphur and establishing a comprehensive
regulatory program for such minerals.
There has been no competitive leasing activity in the OCS for
minerals other than oil, gas, and sulphur for many years. Accordingly,
BOEM has not generally collected information under this Part of its
regulations. However, since 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 582 to
determine if lessees are complying with the regulations for mining
minerals other than oil, gas, and sulphur. BOEM will also use the
information to ensure that such operations are conducted in a manner
that will result in orderly resource recovery, development, and the
protection of the human, marine, and coastal environments and for
technical and environmental evaluations which provide a basis for BOEM
to make informed decisions to approve, disapprove, or require
modification of the proposed activities.
We protect proprietary information according to the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and the Department's implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), 30 CFR 582.5 and 582.6, and applicable
sections of 30 CFR parts 580 and 581. No items of a sensitive nature
are collected.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR 582, Operations in the Outer
Continental Shelf for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur.
OMB Control Number: 1010-0081.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: As there are no active respondents, we
estimated the potential annual number of respondents to be one.
Potential respondents are OCS lessees.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: As there are no active
respondents, we estimated the potential annual number of respondents to
be one.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 212 hours.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory or voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Monthly; quarterly; on occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: We have identified no
non-hour paperwork cost burdens for this collection.
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect the
burden estimate for the renewal will be 212 hours. The following table
details the individual BOEM components and respective hour burden
estimates of this ICR. In calculating the burdens, 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.
