agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps BOEM assess
the impact of its information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand BOEM’s information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
Title of Collection: ‘‘30 CFR part 585,
Renewable Energy and Alternate Uses of
Existing Facilities on the Outer
Continental Shelf.’’
Abstract: The ICR addresses the
paperwork requirements in the
regulations under ‘‘30 CFR part 585,
Renewable Energy and Alternate Uses of
Existing Facilities on the Outer
Continental Shelf [OCS]’’ issued
pursuant to the OCS Lands Act, as
amended (43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.). The
OCS Lands Act at subsection 8(p) (43
U.S.C. 1337(p)) authorizes the Secretary
of the Interior to issue leases, easements,
or rights-of way on the OCS for
activities that produce or support
production, transportation, or
transmission of energy from sources
other than oil and gas, including
renewable energy. Subsection 8(p)
directs the Secretary to issue any
necessary regulations to carry out the
OCS renewable energy program. The
Secretary delegated this authority to
BOEM. BOEM issued regulations for
OCS renewable energy activities at 30
CFR part 585; this notice concerns the
reporting and recordkeeping elements
required by these regulations.
Respondents are parties interested in
obtaining a lease or grant for renewable
energy activities on the OCS; lessees
and grantees submitting plans for
commercial and noncommercial
renewable energy projects on the OCS,
and, if such plans are approved,
constructing, operating, maintaining,
and decommissioning those projects;
and applicants for, or holders of, rightsof-use and easement for alternate uses of
existing facilities on the OCS. BOEM
must ensure that these activities are
carried out in a manner that provides
for, among other things, safety,
protection of the environment, and
consideration of other OCS users. In
order to execute its duties, BOEM
requires information regarding potential
purchasers of leases, grants, and rightsof-way; their proposed activities; their
financial assurance instruments to
ensure accrued obligations are met; and
their payments to the U.S. Treasury.
BOEM uses forms to collect
information to ensure proper and
efficient administration of OCS
renewable energy leases and grants and
to document the financial responsibility

Frm 00060

of lessees and grantees. Forms BOEM–
0002, BOEM–0003, BOEM–0004, and
BOEM–0006 are used, respectively, by
renewable energy entities on the OCS to
assign a grant interest, assign a lease
interest, relinquish a lease or grant, and
designate an operator. Form BOEM–
0005 is used to document a surety’s
guarantee of lessees’ and grantees’
performance. BOEM maintains the
submitted forms as official lease and
grant records.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0176.
Form Number:
• BOEM–0002, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy
Assignment of Grant;’’
• BOEM–0003, ‘‘Assignment of Record
Title Interest in Federal OCS
Renewable Energy Lease;’’
• BOEM–0004, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy Lease
or Grant Relinquishment
Application;’’
• BOEM–0005, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy
Lessee’s, Grantee’s, and Operator’s
Bond;’’ and
• BOEM–0006, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy Lease
or Grant Designation of Operator.’’
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Companies interested in renewable
energy-related uses on the OCS and
holders of leases and grants under 30
CFR part 585.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 265 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 18,783 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory
or required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
or annually.
Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour
Burden Cost: $3,816,000 non-hour costs.
The non-hour cost burdens consist of
service fees and payments to a
contractor for drafting BOEM-required
documents, preparing and conducting
site-specific studies, and writing reports
to evaluate potential causes of harm to
natural resources.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
collection is 18,783 hours. In calculating
the burden, BOEM recognized that some
of its required information collections
are incurred by respondents in the
normal course of their activities, like
compiling and maintaining business
records. BOEM considers some
information collection activities to be
usual and customary business practices

A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period on this
proposed ICR was published on
September 2, 2022 (87 FR 54250).
BOEM did not receive any comments
during the 60-day comment period.
BOEM is again soliciting comments
on the proposed ICR. BOEM is
especially interested in public
comments 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 is 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?
Public Comment Notice: Comments
submitted in response to this notice are
a matter of public record and will be
available for public review on
www.reginfo.gov. You should be aware
that your entire comment—including
your address, phone number, email
address, or other personally identifiable
information included in your
comment—may be made publicly

information in the context of this ICR,
your comment is subject to the Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA). If your
comment is requested under the FOIA,
your information will only be withheld
if BOEM determines that a FOIA
exemption to disclosure applies. BOEM
will make such a determination in
accordance with the Department of the
Interior’s (DOI) FOIA regulations and
applicable law.
In order for BOEM to consider
withholding from disclosure your
personally identifiable information, you
must identify, in a cover letter, any
information contained in your
comments that, if released, would
constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of your personal privacy. You
must also briefly describe any possible
harmful consequence of the disclosure
of information, such as embarrassment,
injury, or other harm.
Note that BOEM will make available
for public inspection all comments on
www.reginfo.gov, in their entirety,
submitted by organizations and

themselves as representatives of
organizations or businesses.
