BOEM protects proprietary information in accordance with FOIA and the Department’s implementing regulations, 30 CFR 582.5 and 582.6, and applicable sections of 30 CFR parts 580 and 581. Items of a sensitive nature are not intended to be collected. Title of Collection: ‘‘Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulfur.’’ Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1334 and 1337(k)(1)) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to issue leases on available areas of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) to the highest qualified bidder to develop any mineral resources other than oil, gas, and sulfur. The Secretary may prescribe the royalty, rental, and other terms and conditions at the time the lease is offered. The act also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations governing such leasing. The Secretary delegated rulemaking authority to BOEM. BOEM’s regulations at 30 CFR part 582 carry out the statutory requirements by governing such OCS leasing and mining. Competitive leasing has not occurred for OCS minerals other than oil, gas, and sulfur in many years. Accordingly, BOEM has not generally collected information under this part of its regulations. However, given the regulatory requirements, the potential exists that BOEM may require information under this part. Therefore, BOEM seeks OMB renewal of 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 sulfur. BOEM will also use the information to ensure orderly resource development; to protect the human, marine, and coastal environments; and to conduct the requisite technical and environmental evaluations that inform BOEM’s decision to approve, disapprove, or require modification of the proposed activities. OMB Control Number: 1010–0081. Form Number: None. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Potential respondents are OCS lessees. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 20 responses. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 212 hours. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour Burden Cost: None. BOEM estimates this ICR’s the annual hour burden at 212 hours. The following table details the regulatory sections containing information collections and their respective hour burden estimates. In calculating the burdens, we assumed that respondents perform certain requirements in the normal course of their activities.

the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a 
speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access 
telecommunications relay services. Individuals outside of the United 
States should use the relay services offered within their country to 
make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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.
    BOEM is soliciting comments on the proposed ICR described below. 
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?
    Comments submitted in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. BOEM will include or summarize each comment in its ICR 
to OMB for approval of this information collection. 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 available at any time.
    Even if BOEM withholds your personally identifiable information in 
the context of this ICR, your comment is subject to the Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552). If your comment is requested 
under FOIA, your information will only be withheld if a determination 
is made that one of the FOIA exemptions to disclosure applies. Such a 
determination will be made in accordance with the Department of the 
Interior's FOIA regulations (43 CFR part 2) and applicable law.
    For BOEM to consider withholding from disclosure your personally 
identifiable information, you must identify, in a cover letter, any 
information contained in your comment that, if released, would 
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of your privacy. You must 
also briefly describe any possible harmful consequences of the 
disclosure of information, such as embarrassment, injury, or other 
harm.
    BOEM will make available for public inspection all comments in 
their entirety (except propriety information) submitted by 
organizations and businesses, or by individuals identifying themselves 
as representatives of organizations or businesses. BOEM protects 
proprietary information in accordance with FOIA and the Department's 
implementing regulations, 30 CFR 582.5 and 582.6, and applicable 
sections of 30 CFR parts 580 and 581. Items of a sensitive nature are 
not intended to be collected.
    Title of Collection: ``Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf 
for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulfur.''
    Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1334 and 
1337(k)(1)) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to issue leases on 
available areas of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) to the 
highest qualified bidder to develop any mineral resources other than 
oil, gas, and sulfur. The Secretary may prescribe the royalty, rental, 
and other terms and conditions at the time the lease is offered. The 
act also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations governing such 
leasing.
    The Secretary delegated rulemaking authority to BOEM. BOEM's 
regulations at 30 CFR part 582 carry out the statutory requirements by 
governing such OCS leasing and mining.
    Competitive leasing has not occurred for OCS minerals other than 
oil, gas, and sulfur in many years. Accordingly, BOEM has not generally 
collected information under this part of its regulations. However, 
given the regulatory requirements, the potential exists that BOEM may 
require information under this part. Therefore, BOEM seeks OMB renewal 
of 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 sulfur. BOEM will also use the 
information to ensure orderly resource development; to protect the 
human, marine, and coastal environments; and to conduct the requisite 
technical and environmental evaluations that inform BOEM's decision to 
approve, disapprove, or require modification of the proposed 
activities.
    OMB Control Number: 1010-0081.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Potential respondents are OCS lessees.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 20 responses.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 212 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.

    Frequency of Collection: Monthly, quarterly, or on occasion.
    Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour Burden Cost: None.
    BOEM estimates this ICR's the annual hour burden at 212 hours. The 
following table details the regulatory sections containing information 
collections and their respective hour burden estimates. 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.
