SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 551, Geological and
Geophysical (G&G) Explorations of the
Outer Continental Shelf.
Form: BOEM–0327, Application for
Permit to Conduct Geological or
Geophysical Exploration for Mineral
Resources or Scientific Research on the
Outer Continental Shelf.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0048.
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 mineral resources
on the OCS.
The OCS Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1340)
also states that ‘‘any person authorized
by the Secretary may conduct geological
and geophysical explorations in the
[O]uter Continental Shelf, which do not
interfere with or endanger actual
operations under any lease maintained
or granted pursuant to this OCS Lands
Act, and which are not unduly harmful
to aquatic life in such area.’’ The section
further requires that permits to conduct
such activities may only be issued if it
is determined that the applicant is
qualified; the activities are not
polluting, hazardous, or unsafe; they do
not interfere with other users of the
area; and they do not disturb a site,
structure, or object of historical or
archaeological significance. Applicants
for permits are required to submit form
BOEM–0327 to provide the information
necessary to evaluate their

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001

qualifications. Upon approval,
respondents are issued a permit. In this
collection, the form is being modified to
clarify for potential permittees existing
requirements in light of new
technologies. In particular, BOEM–0327
clarifies the type(s) of information and
maps submitted as identified in
Attachment 1, sections A, General
Information, B & C Geological and
Geophysical Exploration for Minerals
and Scientific Research, and primarily
D, Proprietary Information. These
modifications reflect information and
technology currently used and
developed by industry.
The OCS Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1352)
further requires that certain costs be
reimbursed to the parties submitting
required G&G information and data.
Under the OCS Lands Act, permittees
are to be reimbursed for the costs of
reproducing any G&G data required to
be submitted. Permittees are to be
reimbursed also for the reasonable cost
of processing geophysical information
required to be submitted when
processing is in a form or manner
required by the Director, BOEM, and is
not used in the normal conduct of the
business of the permittee.
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 the OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. All G&G permits are
subject to cost recovery, and BOEM
regulations specify service fees for these
requests.
Effective October 1, 2011, the
Department’s responsibilities for
leasing, exploration, and development
of the nation’s offshore resources
became the responsibility of the Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM),
per Secretarial Order 3299. Regulations
to carry out these responsibilities are
contained in 30 CFR 551 (previously
assigned under 30 CFR 251). This
request is a revision of the currently
approved information collection (IC)
because we are revising form BOEM–
0327 to adapt to new advances in
technology.
Responses to this collection are
mandatory or required to obtain or
retain a benefit. No questions of a
sensitive nature are asked. BOEM
protects proprietary information
according to the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under
regulations at 30 CFR 551.

BOEM uses the information to ensure
there is no environmental degradation,
personal harm or unsafe operations and
conditions, damage to historical or
archaeological sites, or interference with
other uses; to analyze and evaluate
preliminary or planned drilling
activities; to monitor progress and
activities in the OCS; to acquire G&G
data and information collected under a
Federal permit offshore; and to
determine eligibility for reimbursement
from the government for certain costs.
BOEM uses information collected to
understand the G&G characteristics of
oil- and gas-bearing physiographic
regions of the OCS. It aids the Secretary
in obtaining a proper balance among the
potentials for environmental damage,
the discovery of oil and gas, and adverse
impacts on affected coastal states.
Information from permittees is
necessary to determine the propriety
and amount of reimbursement.
Form BOEM–0327 is submitted under
this part to determine if permittees have
the necessary qualifications pertinent to
G&G explorations or scientific research.
This ICR also clarifies of the type(s) of
information and maps submitted as
identified in Attachment 1, sections A,
General Information, B & C Geological
and Geophysical Exploration for
Minerals and Scientific Research, and
primarily D, Proprietary Information of
the form. These clarifications reflect
information and technology currently
used and developed by industry, in
areas such as energy sources, navigation
and location, maps, and charts, etc. This
information can also be used to satisfy
other environmental compliance
requirements and is completed by
industry in their normal course of
business and does not represent any
new or additional burden hours.
Frequency: Responses are generally
on occasion or as specified in each
permit.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal oil, gas,
or sulphur lessees and holders of
pipeline rights-of-way.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
information collection is a total of 1,033
hours. The following table details the
individual components and estimated
hour burdens. 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.

sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

* The non-hour cost burdens that are associated with cost recovery monies collected are based on actual submittals through Pay.gov for FY
2010.

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified one non-hour cost
burden for this collection of
information. Under § 551.5(a) there is an
application fee of $2,012 when
respondents submit a permit
application. We have not identified any
other non-hour cost burden associated
with this 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
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.

Jkt 226001

To comply with the public
consultation process, on June 30, 2011,
we published a Federal Register notice
(76 FR 38412) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In
addition, § 551.15 provides the OMB
control number for the information
collection requirements imposed by the
30 CFR 551 regulation. The regulation
also informs the public that they may
comment at any time on the collections
of information and provides the address
to which they should send comments.
We received two comments in response
to the Federal Register notice. The first
commenter, the Marine Mammal
Commission stated that it was in
support of our submission to OMB. The
second commenter, Center for
Regulatory Effectiveness, requested two
actions. One, that we should state that
we are not submitting any ICR for
seismic regulations that is more
stringent than current regulations,
including NTL 2007–G02. Response: For
the renewal of this ICR, we are not
requesting anything more stringent than
in current 30 CFR 551 regulations; NTL
2007–G02 is covered under OMB
Control Number 1010–0151. Second,
that we wait to submit the ICR to OMB.
There is current on-going litigation
pertaining to seismic regulations (BOEM
vs environmental plaintiff(s)). Response:
This particular ICR renewal pertains
mostly to revising the form currently in
use due to new developments in
technology; we are not requesting any

new requirements. If the lawsuit
settlement or decree requires changes to
the form and/or DOI regulations,
information collection coordination and
OMB approval will occur before the
form is reissued or regulations are
promulgated.
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
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.
