SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Historical Well Data Cleanup;
Wells Without Assigned MMS API
Numbers—NTL.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0137.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) to prescribe rules and
regulations to administer leasing of the
OCS. Such rules and regulations will
apply to all operations conducted under
a lease. Operations on the OCS must
preserve, protect, and develop oil and
natural gas resources in a manner that
is consistent with the need to make such
resources available to meet the Nation’s
energy needs as rapidly as possible; to
balance orderly energy resource
development with protection of human,
marine, and coastal environments; to
ensure the public a fair and equitable
return on the resources of the OCS; and
to preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition.
The OCSLA at 43 U.S.C. 1332(6)
states that ‘‘operations in the [O]uter
Continental Shelf should be conducted
in a safe manner by well-trained
personnel using technology,
precautions, and techniques sufficient
to prevent or minimize the likelihood of
blowouts, loss of well control, fires,
spillages, physical obstruction to other
users of the waters or subsoil and
seabed, or other occurrences which may
cause damage to the environment or to
property, or endanger life or health.’’

The MMS’s Historical Well Data
Cleanup requests operators to supply
missing data or corrected data for wells
drilled prior to January 2000 that do not
have an assigned API number. This
notice announces our intention to
request a 3-year extension for this
information collection.
The information we collect under this
NTL, is missing data for wellbores that
MMS has not assigned API numbers and
other well data discovered as missing
while completing the well database
cleanup. We are not able to manage and
utilize data from drilling operations
accurately without the information for
the missing wells. We will use the
information to identify other well data
(e.g., logs, surveys, tests) missing from
our records, geologically map existing
MMS data to the correct wellbore/
location, and correctly exchange
information with the operators and
industry. Our geoscientists can use the
information to evaluate resources for
lease sales for fair market value. With
respect to safety concerns, we believe
that there may be anywhere from 3,000
to 6,000 unidentified completed and
abandoned wellbores (bypasses and
sidetracks), some of which may contain
stuck drill pipe or other materials. In
approving permits and other operations
in an area, it is important for us to know
what may be adjacent to or near the
vicinity of the activity we are approving
to minimize the risk of blowouts, loss of
well control, and endangerment to life,
health, and the environment. This is
particularly important as, over the years,
the number of wells drilled constantly
increases, thereby increasing the risk to
adjacent activities if operators are not
aware of what might be in the area.
We will protect information
respondents submit that is considered
proprietary under the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), its
implementing regulations (43 CFR part
2), and 30 CFR 250.197, Data and
information to be made available to the
public or for limited inspection. No
items of a sensitive nature are collected.
Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 130
Federal OCS oil, gas, and sulphur
lessees.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 15,000
hours for approximately 6,000 wells,
based on:
(1) 0.5 hours to locate and copy a
summary of drilling operations (e.g.,
scout tickets) for each well.

PO 00000

Frm 00034

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

(2) 2 hours to retrieve and analyze
each well file and retrieve other missing
data.
There are no recordkeeping
requirements.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have identified no
paperwork non-hour cost burdens for
this collection.
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
practices.
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.
Public Comment Procedures: 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
be made publicly available at any time.
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.

10–168 (Evaluation of Significance); 10–
168a (Description of Rehabilitation); 10–
168b (Continuation/Amendment Sheet);
10–168c (Certification of Completed
Work).
OMB Control Number: 1024–0009.
Expiration Date: 9/30/2009.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection of
information.
Description of Need: Section 47 of the
Internal Revenue Code requires that the
Secretary of the Interior certify to the
Secretary of the Treasury upon
application by owners of historic
properties for Federal tax benefits: (a)
The historic character of the property,
and (b) that the rehabilitation work is
consistent with that historic character.
The NPS administers the program with
the Internal Revenue Service. NPS uses
the Historic Preservation Certification
Application to evaluate the condition
and historic significance of buildings
undergoing rehabilitation for continued
use, and to evaluate whether the
rehabilitation work meets the Secretary
of the Interior’s Standards for
Rehabilitation. The Department of the
Interior regulation 36 CFR Part 67
contains a requirement for completion
of an application form. The information
required on the application form is
needed to allow the authorized officer to
determine if the applicant is qualified to
obtain historic preservation
certifications from the Secretary of the
Interior. These certifications are
necessary in order for an applicant to
receive substantial Federal tax
incentives authorized by Section 47 of
the Internal Revenue Code. These
incentives include 20% Federal income
tax credit for the rehabilitation of
historic buildings and an income tax
deduction for the donation of easements
on historic properties. The Internal
Revenue Code also provides 10%

PO 00000

Frm 00035

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

5945

Federal income tax credit for the
rehabilitation of non-historic buildings
built before 1936, and owners of nonhistoric buildings in historic districts
must also use the application to obtain
a certification from the Secretary of the
Interior that their building does not
contribute to the significance of the
historic district before they claim this
lesser tax credit for rehabilitation. The
obligation to respond is required to
obtain and retain benefits.
Description of respondents:
Individuals or households, businesses
or other for-profit entities.
Estimated average number of
respondents: 4,000 per year.
Estimated average number of
responses: 4,000 per year.
Frequency of Response: 1 per
respondent.
Estimated average time burden per
respondent: 20 hours.
Estimated total annual reporting
burden: 80,000 hours per year.
Comments are invited on: (1) The
practical utility of the information being
gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden
hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information being collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden to
respondents, including use of
automated information collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. 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 be made
publicly available at any time. 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.
