SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
Upcoming Projects Considering the Use
of Outer Continental Shelf Sand, Gravel,
and Shell Resources for Coastal
Restoration and/or Beach Nourishment.
OMB Control Number: 1010–NEW.
Abstract: BOEMRE, under the
authority delegated by the Secretary of
the Interior, is authorized pursuant to
section 8(k)(2) of the OCS Lands Act (43
U.S.C. 1337(k)(2)), to convey rights to
OCS sand, gravel, and shell resources by
noncompetitive negotiated agreement
(NNA) for use in shore protection and
beach and coastal restoration, or for use
in construction projects funded, in
whole or part by, or authorized by the
Federal Government.
Since 1995, 22 shore protection or
beach and coastal restoration projects
have been completed using OCS sand

resources. Recently, the program has
seen an increase in projects and need for
OCS resources due to the decreasing
amounts of sand located in State waters.
Because of this increase, BOEMRE
needed to develop a mechanism to plan
for future projects and anticipated
workload. Therefore, BOEMRE will
issue an annual call for information
about resources and locations from
interested parties to develop an annual
NNA Project Schedule. The NNA
Project Schedule will help BOEMRE
determine appropriate future resource
allocation, conduct environmental
analyses, develop NNAs, and meet all
necessary environmental and legal
requirements.
Responses are submitted to BOEMRE
annually and are to obtain or retain a
benefit (43 U.S.C. 1337). No questions of
a sensitive nature are asked. BOEMRE
will protect any proprietary information
according to the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
regulations (43 CFR 2).
Frequency: Annually.
Description of Respondents:
Approximately 9 States and 50 counties
associated with the States.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
information collection is a total of 95
hours. Individual County Compilation:
50 counties × 1 hour/county = 50 hours;
Individual State Compilation: 9 States ×
5 hours/State = 45 hours (50 county
hours and 45 State hours = 95 total
burden hours). 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
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified no paperwork nonhour cost burdens associated with the
collection of information.
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: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
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

E:\FR\FM\19JAN1.SGM

19JAN1

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 19, 2011 / Notices
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.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on September 7,
2010, we published a Federal Register
notice (75 FR 54369) announcing that
we would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. We
received one comment in response to
these efforts, but the comment did not
pertain to the paperwork burden
associated with the ICR.
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. The
OMB has up to 60 days to approve or
disapprove the information collection
but may respond after 30 days.
Therefore, to ensure maximum
consideration, OMB should receive
public comments by February 18, 2011.
Public Availability of Comments:
Before including your address, phone
number, email 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.
