The EIS process will be a
collaborative effort that will consider
local, regional, and national needs and
concerns. The BLM will work closely
with interested parties to identify the
management decisions that are best
suited to the needs of the public. After
gathering public comments, the BLM
will identify and provide rationale on
those issues that will be addressed in
the EIS or those issues beyond the scope
of the EIS. The Draft EIS, which is
scheduled for completion in early 2010,
will be provided to the public for review
and comment. The BLM will consider
and respond to public comments on the
Draft EIS in the Final EIS. The Final EIS
is expected to be published in late 2010.

Abstract: Section 388 of the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 amended the OCS
Lands Act to add a new paragraph (p)
to section 8 of the Act (43 U.S.C.
1337(p)) to allow the Department of the
Interior, acting through the Minerals
Management Service (MMS), to grant a
lease, easement, or right-of-way on the
OCS for activities that produce or
support the production of energy from
sources other than oil and gas. MMS has
established an Alternative Energy and
Alternate Use Program to authorize and
regulate OCS activities pursuant to this
new authority. MMS is in the process of
developing proposed regulations that,
once finalized, will set the framework
for issuing leases, easements and rightsof-way and authorizing OCS alternative
energy activities. On November 6, 2007,
MMS announced an interim policy that
allows the issuance of leases, under this
statutory authority, for activities limited
to alternative energy resource data
collection and technology testing. The
interim policy does not allow the
issuance of leases for commercial
production of alternative energy, such
as the full build-out of commercial wind
farms.
On December 14, 2007, we published
a Federal Register notice (72 FR 71152)
announcing a new lease form and new
information collection requirements.
This new lease form is the instrument
for limited-term leases issued under
MMS’ interim policy. The new
information collection requirements are
needed by MMS in order to authorize
activities and convey rights through
limited-term leases to conduct data
collection and/or technology testing
activities on specific areas of the OCS.
This information collection request
(ICR) addresses the form and
accompanying information. The new
lease form will be used by MMS and the
emerging alternative energy industry as
an instrument specifying the parties’
rights and responsibilities under the
lease.
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2). No items of
a sensitive nature are collected.
Responses are required to obtain or
retain benefits or mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 18–25
(alternative energy) respondents.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The
estimated annual ‘‘hour’’ burden for this
information collection is a total of 3,560
hours. The total estimated annual
‘‘hour’’ burden decreased from the

estimate in the 60-day Federal Register
notice (72 FR 71152), published on
December 14, 2007, because of the reestimation of the number of
submissions, as well as the deletion of
two requirements that, under closer

the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.)
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

duties, including whether the
information is useful; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of

minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on December 14,
2007, we published a Federal Register
notice (72 FR 71152) announcing that
we would submit this ICR to OMB for

If you wish to comment in response
to this notice, you may send your
comments to the offices listed under the
ADDRESSES section of this notice.
Although the OMB may take up to 60
days to approve or disapprove the
information collection, it may make its
decision in as few as 30 days. Therefore,
to ensure maximum consideration, OMB
should receive public comments by May
21, 2008.
Public Availability of Comments:
Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may

While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
We are incorporating the lease form
and the exhibit B versions (Technology
testing and demonstration activities—
Wave and/or current resources; Data
collection activities —Wave and/or

activities—Wind resources) into this
notice so respondents will be able to
give MMS their specific comments on

identifies the area of the lease provided
by MMS to the respondent.)

may comment at any time on a

10 comments, one of which was
intended for a different Federal Register
notice and irrelevant to this action. The
other nine comments were considered,
and where relevant and constructive, we
made changes to the lease form. The
majority of the comments were on MMS

consideration of such comments, MMS
has determined that changes are not
needed in its strategy and policies. The
respondents who submitted comments
