SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 280, Prospecting for
Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and
Sulphur on the Outer Continental Shelf.
BOEMRE Form(s): 0134.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0072.
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. An amendment to the OCS
Lands Act (Pub. L. 103–426) authorizes
the Secretary to negotiate agreements (in

lieu of the previously required
competitive bidding process) for the use
of OCS sand, gravel, and shell resources
for certain specified types of public
uses. The specified uses will support
construction of governmental projects
for beach nourishment, shore
protection, and wetlands enhancement;
or any project authorized by the Federal
Government.
Section 1340 states that ‘‘* * * any
person authorized by the Secretary may
conduct geological and geophysical
[G&G] explorations in the Outer
Continental Shelf, which do not
interfere with or endanger actual
operations under any lease maintained
or granted pursuant to this Act, and
which are not unduly harmful to aquatic
life in such area.’’
Section 1352 further requires that
certain costs be reimbursed to the
parties submitting required G&G
information and data. Permittees are to
be reimbursed costs of reproducing any
G&G data required to be submitted and
for the reasonable cost of processing
geophysical information required to be
submitted when processing is in a form
or manner required by the Director and
is not used in the normal conduct of the
business of the permittee. Regulations
implementing these responsibilities are
in 30 CFR part 280. 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. Prospecting permits are
subject to cost recovery under
Department of the Interior’s
implementing policy, and BOEMRE
regulations specify service fees for these
requests.
We use the information: (1) To ensure
there is no environmental degradation,
personal harm or unsafe operations and

conditions; (2) the activities do not
damage historical or archaeological sites
or interfere with other uses; (3) to
analyze and evaluate preliminary or
planned drilling activities; (4) to
monitor progress and activities in the
OCS; (5) to acquire G&G data and
information collected under a Federal
permit offshore; (6) to determine
eligibility for reimbursement from the
Government for certain costs; and (7) to
determine the qualifications of
applicants. BOEMRE also uses the
information collected to understand the
G&G characteristics of hard mineralbearing physiographic regions of the
OCS.

We will protect information
considered proprietary according to 30
CFR 280.70, ‘‘What data and
information will be protected from
public disclosure?’’, 30 CFR 250.197,
‘‘Data and information to be made
available to the public or for limited
inspection,’’ 30 CFR part 252, ‘‘OCS Oil
and Gas Information Program,’’ and the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and its implementing regulations
(43 CFR 2). No items of a sensitive
nature are collected. Responses are
mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion; and as
required in the permit.

Description of Respondents:
Permittee(s).
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 116 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

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, 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. Agencies must also
estimate the non-hour paperwork 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 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,
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.
