Abstract: The Secretary of the United
States 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 production from
Federal and Indian lands and the OCS,
collect the royalties and other mineral

PO 00000

Frm 00067

Fmt 4703

revenues due, and distribute the funds
collected under those laws. We have
posted those laws pertaining to mineral
leases on Federal and Indian lands and
the OCS at http://www.onrr.gov/
Laws_R_D/PublicLawsAMR.htm.
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.
Effective October 1, 2010, ONRR
reorganized and transferred their
regulations from chapter II to chapter
XII in title 30 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, resulting in a change to our
citations. You can find the information
collections covered in this ICR at 30
CFR part 1202, subpart H, which
pertains to geothermal resources
royalties; part 1206, subparts F, H, and
J, which pertain to product valuation of
Federal coal, geothermal resources, and
Indian coal; part 1210, subparts E and
H, which pertain to production and
royalty reports on solid minerals and
geothermal resources leases; part 1212,
subparts E and H, which pertain to
recordkeeping of reports and files for
solid minerals and geothermal resources
leases; part 1217, subparts E and H,
which pertain to audits and inspections
of coal, other solid minerals, and
geothermal resources leases; and part
1218, subparts E and F, which pertain
to royalty, rental, bonuses, and other
monies payment for solid minerals and
geothermal resources. All data reported
is subject to subsequent audit and
adjustment.
I. General Information
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 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.
II. Information Collections
ONRR, acting for the Secretary, uses
the information that we collect to ensure
that lessees accurately value and
appropriately pay all royalties based on
correct product valuation. ONRR and
other Federal Government entities,

E:\FR\FM\11FEN1.SGM

11FEN1

9733

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 28 / Monday, February 11, 2013 / Notices
including the Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement, Bureau of
Land Management, Bureau of Indian
Affairs, and State and Tribal
governmental entities, use the
information for audit purposes and for
evaluating the reasonableness of
product valuation or allowance claims
that lessees submit. Please refer to the
burden hour chart for all reporting
requirements and associated burden
hours.
A. Solid Minerals
Producers of coal and other solid
minerals from any Federal or Indian
lease must submit current Form MMS–
4430, Solid Minerals Production and
Royalty Report, and other associated
data formats. These companies also
report certain data on Form MMS–2014,
Report of Sales and Royalty Remittance
(OMB Control Number 1012–0004).
Producers of coal from any Indian lease
must also submit Form MMS–4292,
Coal Washing Allowance Report, and
Form MMS–4293, Coal Transportation
Allowance Report, if they wish to claim

allowances on Form MMS–4430. The
information that ONRR requests are the
minimum necessary to carry out our
mission and places the least possible
burden on respondents.
B. Geothermal Resources
This ICR also covers some of the
information collections for geothermal
resources, which ONRR groups by usage
(electrical generation, direct use, and
byproduct recover), and by disposition
of the resources (arm’s-length
(unaffiliated) contract sales, non-arm’slength contract sales, and no contract
sales) within each use group. ONRR
relies primarily on data that payors
report on Form MMS–2014 for the
majority of our business processes,
including geothermal information. In
addition to using the data to account for
royalties that payors report, ONRR uses
the data for monthly distribution of
mineral revenues and audit and
compliance reviews.
III. OMB Approval
We will request OMB approval to
continue to collect this information. Not

collecting this information would limit
the Secretary’s ability to discharge
fiduciary duties and may also result in
the loss of royalty payments. We protect
the proprietary information that ONRR
receives and do not collect items of a
sensitive nature. It is mandatory that the
reporters submit Form MMS–4430.
Also, ONRR requires that reporters
submit Forms MMS–4292 and MMS–
4293 to obtain benefits for claiming
allowances on Form MMS–4430.
Frequency: Monthly, annually, and on
occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
100 reporters.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: 3,434
hours.
We have not included in our
estimates certain requirements that
companies perform in the normal course
of business, and that ONRR considers
usual and customary. We display the
estimated annual burden hours by CFR
section and paragraph in the following
chart.
