Abstract: This OMB control number applies to the exploration, development, and utilization of oil shale resources on the BLM-managed public lands. Currently, the only oil shale leases issued by the BLM are research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) leases. However, the BLM regulations provide a framework for commercial oil shale leasing and additionally include provisions for conversion of RD&D leases to commercial leases. Section 369 of the Energy Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 15927) addresses oil shale development and authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to establish regulations for a commercial leasing program for oil shale. The Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 241(a)) provides the authority for the BLM to allow for the exploration, development, and utilization of oil shale resources on the BLM-managed public lands. Additional statutory authorities for the oil shale program are: (1) The Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands of 1947 (30 U.S.C. 351–359); and (2) The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq., including 43 U.S.C. 1732). OMB Control Number 1004–0201 is currently scheduled to expire on June 30, 2024. The BLM plans to request that OMB renew this OMB control number for an additional three (3) years. Title of Collection: Oil Shale Management (43 CFR parts 3900, 3910, 3920, and 3930). OMB Control Number: 1004–0201. Form Number: None. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Applicants for oil shale leases, oil shale lessees and oil shale operators. Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 2. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 24. Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from the number of minutes/hours per response. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,795. Respondent’s Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit. Frequency of Collection: On occasion. Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $526,667. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and, notwithstanding any other provision of law, a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Darrin A. King, Information Collection Clearance Officer.
