SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: 30 CFR 282, Operations in the
Outer Continental Shelf for Minerals
Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur.
OMB Control Number: 1014–NEW.
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 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 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
Citation
30 CFR 282

and maintain free enterprise
competition; and (7) encourage the
development of new technology.
The authorities and responsibilities
described above are among those
delegated BSEE. Therefore, this ICR
addresses the regulations at 30 CFR 282,
Operations in the Outer Continental
Shelf for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas,
and Sulphur. It should be noted 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 this
collection of information be approved
by OMB.
To accommodate the split of
regulations from the Bureau of Ocean
Energy Management, Regulation and
Enforcement to BSEE, BSEE is
requesting OMB approval of the already
approved burden hours under 1010–
0081 to reflect BSEE’s new 1014
numbering system.
Responses are mandatory. No
questions of a sensitive nature are
asked. BSEE protects proprietary
information according to the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its
implementing regulations (43 CFR 2),
and 30 CFR 282.5, 282.6, and 282.7.
BSEE collects information required
under part 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, BSEE 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,

Reporting or recordkeeping requirement

15119

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, and 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 evaluations that
provide a basis for BSEE to make
informed decisions to approve,
disapprove, or require modification of
the proposed activities.
Frequency: On occasion, and as a
result of situations encountered.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal oil, gas,
or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
information collection is a total of 56
hours. The following chart 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.

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
collection is necessary or useful; (b)
evaluate the accuracy of the burden of
the proposed collection of information;
(c) enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the information to be

Final Land Protection Plan and Final
Environmental Assessment for
Everglades Headwaters National
Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:

We, the Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service), announce the
availability of our Final Land Protection
Plan (LPP) and Final Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the recently
established Everglades Headwaters
National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) and
Conservation Area in Polk, Osceola,
Highlands, and Okeechobee Counties, in
central and south Florida. The LPP and
EA were prepared with input from
Federal, State, and local agencies;
Native American tribal nations; various
non-governmental organizations; and
the public. We established the refuge
and conservation area to support a
connected conservation landscape; to
provide quality habitats for native
wildlife diversity and at-risk species; to
enhance water quality, quantity, and
storage; and to provide opportunities for
wildlife-dependent recreation.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the LPP and EA
are available on CD or in hard copy, and
you may obtain a copy by writing to:
Mr. Charlie Pelizza, Refuge Manager,
Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge,
4055 Wildlife Way, Vero Beach, FL
32963. Alternatively, you may
download the document from our
Internet Site: http://www.fws.gov/

at 772/581–5557, extension 1
(telephone).
SUMMARY:

In
developing the LPP for the Everglades
Headwaters NWR and Conservation
Area, we evaluated three alternatives
with different approaches to
conservation within the Kissimmee
River Basin landscape.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Alternative A—No Refuge and No
Conservation Area (No Action
Alternative)
Alternative A would represent no
change from current conservation in this
landscape. In this alternative we would
not create a new refuge, no designated

acquisition boundary would be
developed, and no conservation area
would be created. Habitat protection
and management would continue by
existing organizations and government
programs. The landscape within the
Study Area boundary contains
approximately 421,000 acres of
conservation lands protected by
agricultural easements; private
conservation organizations; and State,
Federal, and municipal ownership and
management. We would not pursue new
opportunities for refuge-based wildlifedependent public uses, partnerships, or
scientific research.
Alternative B—Refuge Only Approach
This alternative would propose an
acquisition boundary of up to 50,000
acres containing portions of identified
priority habitats; would focus the bulk
of the refuge within mostly contiguous
areas; and would complement existing
State, Federal, and municipal
conservation within this landscape. We
would use a suite of conservation tools
to protect land, including fee-title
acquisitions and conservation
easements. This alternative would
protect important wildlife habitat
within the landscape, serving both
common and rare wildlife species. It
would offer opportunities for wildlife
management, compatible wildlifedependent public uses, and new refugebased partnerships and scientific
research. Public use opportunities
would include hunting, fishing, wildlife
observation, wildlife photography, and
environmental education and
interpretation.
Alternative C—Conservation
Partnership Approach (Preferred
Alternative)
Alternative C is our Preferred Action;
the alternative to be used for
implementation. Alternative C protects
150,000 acres, with up to 100,000 acres
conserved through conservation
easements or other less-than-fee-title
methods and up to 50,000 acres
conserved through fee-title and lessthan-fee-title means. This alternative is
considered to be the most effective
management action for serving the
outlined vision, purposes, and goals to
enhance conservation in this Kissimmee
River Basin landscape. It will conserve
up to 150,000 acres containing portions
of priority habitats. To best complement
existing State, Federal, and municipal
conservation within this landscape, we
identified: (1) A Conservation Focal
Area of approximately 130,000 acres,
within which we will have the authority
to acquire up to 50,000 acres for the
refuge, and (2) a Conservation
