is subject to the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552). 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 DOI’s FOIA
implementing regulations (43 CFR part

In order for BOEM to consider
withholding from disclosure your
personal identifying information, you
must identify, in a cover letter, 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. Note that BOEM
will make available for public
inspection, in their entirety, all
comments submitted by organizations
and businesses, or by individuals
identifying themselves as
representatives of organizations or
businesses.
BOEM protects proprietary
information in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552), Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1352(c)), and the
Department of the Interior’s (DOI)
implementing regulations (43 CFR part
2 and 30 CFR part 581).
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 581,
‘‘Leasing of Minerals Other Than Oil,
Gas, and Sulphur in the Outer
Continental Shelf.’’
Abstract: The OCS Lands Act (Act), as
amended (43 U.S.C. 1334 and 43 U.S.C.
1337(k)), authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior (Secretary) to administer OCS
leasing and to prescribe the necessary
regulations to do so. The Act authorizes
the Secretary to lease any mineral other
than oil, gas, and sulphur, subject to
royalty, rental, and other terms and
conditions that the Secretary may
prescribe at the time of the lease offer.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 581
implement these statutory requirements.
BOEM has not conducted any OCS
leasing activity for minerals other than
oil, gas, or sulphur in many years.
Consequently, BOEM has not generally
collected information under this part of
its regulations. However, BOEM
recognizes that the potential for such
information collection exists under part
581. Therefore, BOEM seeks OMB
renewal of the part 581 information
collection.
BOEM will use the information
required by 30 CFR part 581 to
determine if statutory requirements are
met prior to the issuance of a lease.
Specifically, BOEM will use the
information to:
• Evaluate the area and minerals
requested by the applicant to assess the
viability of offering leases for sale;
• Request States to establish a joint
task force to assess the proposed action;
• Ensure excessive overriding royalty
interests are not created that would put
economic constraints on all parties
involved;
• Document that a leasehold or
geographical subdivision has been
surrendered by the record title holder;
and
15891
• Determine if activities on the
proposed lease area(s) will have a
significant impact on the environment.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0082.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Renewal of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents and Affected Public: As
there are no active respondents, BOEM
estimates the potential annual number
of respondents to be one. Potential
respondents are OCS lease requestors,
State governments, and OCS mineral
lessees.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 11 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,004 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
retain or obtain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour
Burden Cost: $50 non-hour cost burden.
The following table details the
individual information collection
components and respective hour burden
estimates of this ICR. The current
approved annual burden hours are equal
to 984 hours and the annual responses
are equal to 10. This information
collection request increases burdens to
1,004 and annual responses to 11 due to
the potential of tie bids. Tie bids
requirements would involve more than
one respondent, so BOEM plans to
increase this by one response and 20
annual burden hours. BOEM assumed
that respondents perform certain
requirements in the normal course of
their activities. BOEM considers such
requirements to be usual and customary
and took that into account in estimating
the burden.

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 on 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
[[Page 15891]]
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). 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 DOI's FOIA
implementing regulations (43 CFR part 2) and applicable law.
In order for BOEM to consider withholding from disclosure your
personal identifying information, you must identify, in a cover letter,
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. Note that BOEM will make available for public
inspection, in their entirety, all comments submitted by organizations
and businesses, or by individuals identifying themselves as
representatives of organizations or businesses.
BOEM protects proprietary information in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1352(c)), and the Department of the
Interior's (DOI) implementing regulations (43 CFR part 2 and 30 CFR
