SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 282, Operations in
the Outer Continental Shelf for Minerals
Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0081.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)), authorizes
the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary)
to implement regulations to grant leases
of any mineral other than oil, gas, and
sulphur to qualified parties. This
regulation governs mining operations
within the OCS and establishes a
comprehensive leasing and regulatory
program for such minerals. This
regulation has been designed to (1)
recognize the differences between the
OCS activities associated with oil, gas,
and sulphur discovery and
development, and those associated with
the discovery and development of other
minerals; (2) facilitate participation by
States directly affected by OCS mining
activities; (3) provide opportunities for

PO 00000

Frm 00060

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

5189

consultation and coordination with
other OCS users and uses; (4) balance
development with environmental
protection; (5) insure a fair return to the
public; (6) preserve and maintain free
enterprise competition; and (7)
encourage the development of new
technology.
The authorities and responsibilities
described above are among those
delegated to BOEMRE. This ICR
addresses the regulations at 30 CFR 282,
Operations in the Outer Continental
Shelf for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas,
and Sulphur. Note that there has been
no activity in the OCS for minerals other
than oil, gas and sulphur for many years
and no information collected. However,
because these are regulatory
requirements, the potential exists for
information to be collected; therefore,
we are requesting a renewal of this
collection of information.
Assuming one lease to this ICR is
mandatory. No questions of a sensitive
nature are asked. We protect proprietary
information according to the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its
implementing regulations (43 CFR 2), 30
CFR 282.5, 282.6, 282.7, and applicable
sections of 30 CFR parts 280 and 281.
BOEMRE will use the information
required by 30 CFR 282 to determine if
lessees are complying with the
regulations that implement the mining
operations program for minerals other
than oil, gas, and sulphur. Specifically,
BOEMRE will use the information:
• To ensure that operations for the
production of minerals other than oil,
gas, and sulphur in the OCS are
conducted in a manner that will result
in orderly resource recovery,
development, and the protection of the
human, marine, and coastal
environments.
• To ensure that adequate measures
will be taken during operations to
prevent waste, conserve the natural
resources of the OCS, and to protect the
environment, human life, and
correlative rights.
• To determine if suspensions of
activities are in the national interest, to
facilitate proper development of a lease
including reasonable time to develop a
mine and construct its supporting
facilities, or to allow for the
construction or negotiation for use of
transportation facilities.
• To identify and evaluate the
cause(s) of a hazard(s) generating a
suspension, the potential damage from a
hazard(s) and the measures available to
mitigate the potential for damage.
• For technical and environmental
evaluations which provide a basis for
BOEMRE to make informed decisions to

$100,000 Non-Hour Cost Burden

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified one cost burden;
§ 282.13(e)(1), would require a sitespecific study to determine and evaluate
hazards that results in a suspension of
operation. Since this has not been done
to date, BOEMRE estimated that this
study would cost approximately
$100,000. There are no other non-hour
cost burdens associated with the
collection of information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
Coastal Impact Assistance Program
(CIAP).
OMB Control Number: 1010–0170.
Abstract: With the passage of the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), the
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management,
Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE)
was given responsibility for the Coastal
Impact Assistance Program (CIAP)
through the amendment of Section 31 of
the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act
(43 U.S.C. 1356a Appendix A).
SUMMARY:

PO 00000

Frm 00063

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

CIAP recognizes that impacts from
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and
gas activities fall disproportionately on
the coastal states and localities nearest
to where the activities occur, and where
associated facilities are located. CIAP
legislation appropriates money for
eligible states and coastal political
subdivisions for coastal restoration/
improvement projects. BOEMRE shall
disburse $250 million to eligible
producing states and coastal political
subdivisions (CPSs) through a grant
program. The funds allocated to each
state are based on the proportion of
qualified OCS revenues offshore the
individual state to total qualified OCS
revenues from all states. In order to
receive funds, the states submit their
CIAP plans detailing how the funds will
be expended. Alabama, Alaska,
California, Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Texas are the only eligible states under
EPAct. Counties, parishes or equivalent
units of government within those states
lying all or in part within the coastal
zone, as defined by section 304(1) of the
Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA)
1972, as amended, are the Coastal
Political Subdivisions (CPSs) eligible for
CIAP funding, a total of 67 local
jurisdictions. All funds will be
disbursed through a grant process.
In September 2006, CIAP draft
guidelines were written and later
revised in May 2007. Information was
needed from the government
jurisdictions to meet all the
requirements of the CIAP State Plan
Guidelines as well as requirements on
the procurement contracts. To approve
a plan, legislation requires that the
Secretary of the Interior must be able to
determine that the funds will be used in
accordance with EPAct criteria and that
projects will use the funds according to
the EPAct. To confirm appropriate use
of funds, BOEMRE requires affirmation
of grantees meeting Federal, state, and
local laws and adequate project
descriptions.
This ICR is required to fulfill the
requirements of the BOEMRE CIAP
grant program.
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.
