Abstract: The Secretary of the U.S.
Department of the Interior is responsible
for mineral resource development on
Federal and Indian lands and the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS). The Secretary’s
responsibility, according to various
laws, is to manage mineral resource
SUMMARY:

production from Federal and Indian
lands and the OCS, collect the royalties
and other mineral revenues due, and
distribute the funds collected in
accordance with applicable laws. The
Secretary also has a trust responsibility
to manage Indian lands and seek advice
and information from Indian
beneficiaries. ONRR performs the
minerals revenue management functions
for the Secretary and assists the
Secretary in carrying out the
Department’s trust responsibility for
Indian lands. Public laws pertaining to
mineral leases on Federal and Indian
lands are available at http://
www.onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/
PublicLawsAMR.htm.
When a company or an individual
enters into a lease to explore, develop,
produce, and dispose of minerals from
Federal or Indian lands, that company
or individual agrees to pay the lessor a
share in an amount or value of
production from the leased lands. The
lessee, or the designee, must report
various kinds of information to the
lessor relative to the disposition of the
leased minerals. Such information is
generally available within the records of
the lessee or others involved in
developing, transporting, processing,
purchasing, or selling of such minerals.
The information that ONRR collects
includes data necessary to ensure that
the lessee accurately values and
appropriately pays all royalties and
other mineral revenues due.
The Federal Oil and Gas Royalty
Management Act of 1982 (FOGRMA),
which the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty
Simplification and Fairness Act of 1996
amended, authorizes the Secretary to
develop delegated and cooperative
agreements with States (30 U.S.C 1735,
sect. 205) and Indian Tribes (30 U.S.C.
1732, sect. 202) to carry out certain
inspection, auditing, investigation, or
limited enforcement activities for oil
and gas leases in their jurisdiction. The
States and Indian Tribes are working
partners and are an integral part of the
overall onshore and offshore
compliance effort. The Appropriations
Act of 1992 also authorizes the States
and Tribes to perform the same
functions for coal and other solid
mineral leases.
This collection of information is
necessary in order for States and Tribes
to conduct audits and related
investigations of Federal and Indian oil,
gas, coal, any other solid minerals, and
geothermal royalty revenues from
Federal and tribal leased lands. Relevant
parts of the regulations include 30 CFR
parts 1227, 1228, and 1229, as described
below:

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 133 / Wednesday, July 11, 2012 / Notices
Title 30 CFR part 1227—Delegation to
States, provides procedures to delegate
certain Federal minerals revenue
management functions to States for
Federal oil and gas leases. The
regulations provide only audit and
investigation functions to States for
Federal geothermal and solid mineral
leases, and leases subject to section 8(g)
of the OCS Lands Act, within their State
boundaries. In order for ONRR to
consider a State for such delegation, the
State must submit a written proposal to,
and receive approval from, the ONRR
Director. States also must provide
periodic accounting documentation to
ONRR, including an annual work plan
and quarterly reimbursement vouchers.
Title 30 CFR part 1228—Cooperative
Activities with States and Indian Tribes,
provides procedures for Indian Tribes to
carry out audits and related
investigations of their respective leased
lands. The Tribe must submit a written
proposal to ONRR in order to enter into
a cooperative agreement. The proposal

must outline the activities that the Tribe
will undertake and must present
evidence that the Tribe can meet the
Secretary’s standards in order for the
Tribe to conduct the activities. The
Tribe also must submit an annual work
plan and budget, as well as quarterly
reimbursement vouchers.
Title 30 CFR part 1229—Delegation to
States provides procedures for States to
carry out audits and related
investigations of leased Indian lands
within their respective State boundaries
by permission of the respective Indian
tribal councils or individual Indian
mineral owners. The State must receive
the Secretary’s delegation of authority
and submit annual audit work plans
detailing its audits and related
investigations, annual budgets, and
quarterly reimbursement vouchers.
States also must maintain records
according to section 1227.200(d).
ONRR protects proprietary
information that the States and Tribes
submit under this collection. We do not

collect items of a sensitive nature. States
and Tribes must respond in order to
obtain the benefit of entering into a
cooperative agreement with the
Secretary.
Frequency: Varies based on the
function performed.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: 10 States and 6 Indian
Tribes.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: 5,519
hours.
We have not included in our
estimates certain usual and customary
requirements that States and Tribes
perform in the normal course of
business. This 30-day Federal Register
notice burden chart shows a 12-hour
reduction in annual burden hours from
the previous 60-day notice. This
adjustment is for section 1227.200(e).

TOTAL BURDEN .......................................................................................................................................

Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-hour’’ Cost
Burden: We have identified no ‘‘nonhour 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, and
a person is not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Comments: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA requires each agency to ‘‘* * *
provide 60-day notice in the Federal
Register * * * 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 that ONRR collects; 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, we published a
notice in the Federal Register on
February 2, 2012 (77 FR 5268),
announcing that we would submit this
ICR to OMB for approval. The notice
provided the required 60-day comment
period. We received no unsolicited
comments in response to the notice.
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. OMB
has up to 60 days to approve or
disapprove the information collection,
but they may respond after 30 days.
Therefore, in order to ensure maximum
consideration, OMB should receive
public comments by August 10, 2012.
Public Comment Policy: We post all
comments, including names and
addresses of respondents, at http://
www.regulations.gov. Before including
your address, phone number, email
address, or other personal identifying
information in your comment, be

advised that we may make publicly
available at any time your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information. While you can
ask us in your comment to withhold
from public view your personal
identifying information, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
