periodically monitor resource
conditions and rends in the restriction
area and may modify this order or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 30
CFR Part 281, Leasing for Minerals
Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur in the
Outer Continental Shelf.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0082.
Abstract: Section 8(k) of the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act, as
amended (43 U.S.C. 1337), authorizes
the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary)
to grant to the qualified persons offering
the highest cash bonuses on a basis of
competitive bidding leases of any
mineral other than oil, gas, and sulphur.
This applies to 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. The
Secretary is to administer the leasing
provisions of the Act and prescribe the
rule and regulations necessary to carry
out those provisions.
Regulations at 30 CFR Part 281
implement these statutory requirements.
However, there has been no activity in
the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas,
and sulphur for many years and no
information collected since we allowed
the OMB approval to expire in 1991.
Nevertheless, because these are
regulatory requirements, the potential
exists for information to be collected
and we are requesting that OMB
reinstate this collection of information.
We use the information required by
30 CFR Part 281 to determine if
statutory requirements are met prior to
the issuance of a lease. Specifically,
MMS uses the information to:
• Evaluate the area and minerals
requested by the lessee to assess the
viability of offering leases for sale.

• Allows the State(s) to initiate the
establishment of a joint group.
• 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.
We protect proprietary information
according to the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
Citation 30 CFR 281

regulations (43 CFR Part 2), and 30 CFR
Parts 280 and 282. No items of a
sensitive nature are collected.
Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: As there are no active
respondents, we estimated the potential
annual number of respondents to be
one. Respondents are OCS lessees.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The

previous OMB inventory included 1,248
annual burden hours for the collection
of information. The following chart
details the individual 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.

Estimated Reporting and

Burden: We have identified one ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burden for this collection, a
$50 application fee under § 281.41. It
should be noted that this fee was never
previously included since the non-hour
cost burdens were not subject to
reporting under the 1980 Paperwork
Reduction Act. Furthermore, this fee has
never been collected since we have not
had any leases for minerals other than
oil, gas, and sulphur.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor a

collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: Before submitting an ICR
to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
requires each agency ‘‘* * * to provide
notice * * * and otherwise consult
with members of the public and affected
agencies concerning each proposed
collection of information * * *’’.
Agencies must specifically solicit
comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the agency to perform its

duties, including whether the
information is useful; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Agencies must also estimate the ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burdens to respondents or
recordkeepers resulting from the
collection of information. Therefore, if
you have costs to generate, maintain,

and disclose this information, you
should comment and provide your total
capital and startup cost components or
annual operation, maintenance, and
purchase of service components. You
should describe the methods you use to
estimate major cost factors, including
system and technology acquisition,
expected useful life of capital
equipment, discount rate(s), and the
period over which you incur costs.
Capital and startup costs include,
among other items, computers and
software you purchase to prepare for
collecting information, monitoring, and
record storage facilities. You should not
include estimates for equipment or
services purchased: (i) Before October 1,
1995; (ii) to comply with requirements
not associated with the information
collection; (iii) for reasons other than to
provide information or keep records for
the Government; or (iv) as part of
customary and usual business or private

We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
submission for OMB approval. As a
result of your comments, we will make
any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
and notice of public scoping meetings.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation)
proposes to prepare an EIS for the
Walker River Basin Acquisitions
Program. The primary purpose of the
program is to comply with the
requirements of Public Law 107–171
(Desert Terminal Lakes Program), which
appropriates funds to provide water to
at-risk natural desert terminal lakes, and
with Public Law 109–103, which
allocates funds to the University of
Nevada for two specific purposes. The
first purpose is to implement a program
for environmental restoration to acquire
from willing sellers land, water
appurtenant to the land, and related
interests in the Walker River Basin,
Nevada. Acquired water rights would be
transferred to provide water to Walker
Lake. The second purpose of the
University’s funding is to establish and
operate an agricultural and natural
resources center. The actions to be
analyzed in this EIS will be the
purchase of water rights and related
interests from willing sellers in the
Walker River Basin, Nevada.
DATES: A series of public scoping
meetings will be held to solicit public
input on the alternatives, concerns, and
issues to be addressed in the EIS. The
meetings dates are:
• Monday, October 22, 2007, 6 to 8
p.m., Reno, NV
• Tuesday, October 23, 2007, 6 to 8
p.m., Yerington, NV
• Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 6 to 8
p.m., Hawthorne, NV
• Thursday, October 25, 2007, 6 to 8
p.m., Bridgeport, CA
Written comments on the scope of the
EIS should be sent by November 26,
2007.
ADDRESSES: The public scoping
meetings locations are:
• Reno at Rancho San Rafael Park, Main
Ranch House, 1595 N. Sierra Street
• Yerington at Yerington High School,
gymnasium, 114 Pearl Street
• Hawthorne at Mineral County Public
Library, meeting room, 110 1st Street
• Bridgeport at Bridgeport Memorial
