SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 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
SUMMARY:

PO 00000

Frm 00076

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

21393

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 281 implement
these statutory requirements. The
regulations at 30 CFR 281 concern
leasing activities of minerals other than
oil, gas or sulphur and are the subject
of this collection.
BOEMRE uses the information
required by 30 CFR 281 to determine if
statutory requirements are met prior to
the issuance of a lease. Specifically,
BOEMRE uses the information to:
• Evaluate the area and minerals
requested by the lessee to assess the
viability of offering leases for sale.
• Allow 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
regulations (43 CFR 2), and 30 CFR parts
280 and 282. No items of a sensitive
nature are collected. Responses are
mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion.
Description of Respondents: As there
are no active respondents, we estimate
the potential annual number of
respondents to be one. Potential
respondents are OCS lease requestors,
state governments, and OCS lessees.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 1,248 hours.
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart D, Oil
and Gas Drilling Operations.
BOEMRE Form(s): MMS–123, MMS–
123S, MMS–124, MMS–125, MMS–133,
MMS–133S, and MMS–144.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0141.
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
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. Section 1332(6) states that
‘‘operations in the Outer Continental
Shelf should be conducted in a safe
manner by well trained personnel using
technology, precautions, and other
techniques sufficient to prevent or
minimize the likelihood of blowouts,
loss of well control, fires, spillages,
physical obstructions 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 Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. Under the Department
of the Interior’s implementing policy,
BOEMRE is required to charge fees for
services that provide special benefits or
privileges to an identifiable non-Federal
recipient above and beyond those which
accrue to the public at large.
Applications for permits to drill and
modification approvals are subject to
cost recovery, and BOEMRE regulations
specify service fees for these requests.
This authority and responsibility are
among those delegated to BOEMRE. The

PO 00000

Frm 00078

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

21395

regulations at 30 CFR 250, subpart D,
concern oil and gas drilling operations
and are the subject of this collection.
This request also covers the related
Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs)
that BOEMRE issues to clarify,
supplement, or provide additional
guidance on some aspects of our
regulations.
Regulations at 30 CFR 250, subpart D,
implement these statutory requirements.
We use the information to ensure safe
drilling operations and to protect the
human, marine, and coastal
environment. Among other things,
BOEMRE specifically uses the
information to ensure: The drilling unit
is fit for the intended purpose; the
lessee or operator will not encounter
geologic conditions that present a
hazard to operations; equipment is
maintained in a state of readiness and
meets safety standards; each drilling
crew is properly trained and able to
promptly perform well-control activities
at any time during well operations;
compliance with safety standards; and
the current regulations will provide for
safe and proper field or reservoir
development, resource evaluation,
conservation, protection of correlative
rights, safety, and environmental
protection. We also review well records
to ascertain whether drilling operations
have encountered hydrocarbons or H2S
and to ensure that H2S detection
equipment, personnel protective
equipment, and training of the crew are
adequate for safe operations in zones
known to contain H2S and zones where
the presence of H2S is unknown.
The following forms are also
submitted to BOEMRE under subpart D.
The forms and their purposes are:
Application for Permit To Drill (APD),
Forms MMS–123 and MMS–123S
BOEMRE uses the information from
these forms to determine the conditions
of a drilling site to avoid hazards
inherent in drilling operations.
Specifically, we use the information to
evaluate the adequacy of a lessee’s plan
and equipment for drilling, sidetracking
or bypass operations. This includes the
adequacy of the proposed casing design,
casing setting depths, drilling fluid
(mud), and cementing programs to
ascertain that the proposed operations
will be conducted in an operationally
safe manner that provides adequate
protection for the environment.
BOEMRE also reviews the information
to ensure conformance with specific
provisions of the lease. In addition,
except for proprietary data, BOEMRE is
required by the OCS Lands Act to make
available to the public certain
