Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart B, Plans

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. Such rules and regulations

PO 00000

Frm 00058

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

will apply to all operations conducted
under a lease, right-of-use and
easement, or unit. Sections 11 and 25 of
the amended OCS Lands Act require the
holders of OCS oil and gas or sulphur
leases to submit exploration plans (EPs)
and development and production plans
(DPPs) to the Secretary for approval
prior to commencing these activities. As
a Federal agency, we have a continuing
affirmative duty to comply with the
Endangered Species Act (ESA). This
includes a substantive duty to carry out
any agency action in a manner that is
not likely to jeopardize protected
species as well as a procedural duty to
consult with the Fish and Wildlife
Service (FWS) and National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration
Fisheries (NOAA Fisheries) before
engaging in a discretionary action that
may affect a protected species.
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 OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. Several requests for
approval required in subpart B are
subject to cost recovery, and BOEMRE
regulations specify service fees for these
requests.
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are under 30 CFR part
250, subpart B. Responses are
mandatory. No questions of a sensitive
nature are asked. BOEMRE will protect
information considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552), under regulations at 30
CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data and information to
be made available to the public or for
limited inspection,’’ and 30 CFR part

252, ‘‘Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil
and Gas Information Program.’’
BOEMRE and other Federal agencies
(e.g., FWS, NOAA Fisheries, etc.)
analyze and evaluate the information
and data collected under subpart B to
ensure that planned operations are safe;
will not adversely affect the marine,
coastal, or human environment; and
will conserve the resources of the OCS.
We use the information to: (a) Make an
informed decision on whether to
approve the proposed exploration or
development and production plans as
submitted, or whether modifications are
necessary without the analysis and
evaluation of the required information.
The affected States also review the
information collected to determine
consistency with approved Coastal Zone
Management (CZM) plans, and (b)
report annually to NOAA Fisheries the
effectiveness of mitigation, any adverse
effects of the proposed action, and any
incidental take, in accordance with 50
CFR 402.14(i)(3).
Respondents are required to submit
several BOEMRE forms: 0137 (Plan
Information Form) is submitted to

the information to assist in data entry
and review of submitted OCS plans;
0138 (GOM Air Emission Calculations
for Exploration Plans), and, 0139 (GOM
Air Emission Calculations for
Development Operations Coordination
Documents (DOCDs)) are submitted to
standardize the way potential air
emissions are estimated and approved
as part of the OCS plan. BOEMRE uses
the data from these forms to determine
the effect of air emissions on the
environment; 0141 (ROV Survey Report)
is submitted to report the observations
and information recorded from two sets
of ROV monitoring surveys to identify
high-density benthic communities that
may occur on the seafloor in deep water;
and 0142 (Environmental Impact
Analysis Worksheet) is submitted to
identify the environmental impactproducing factors (IPFs) for the listed
environmental resources. We use the
information to help assess impacts and
determine compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act.
Also, per Secretarial Orders 3299 and
3022, on October 1, 2011, the oil, gas,

management functions of BOEMRE will
be transferred to a new bureau, Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM).
Therefore, after October 1, the forms
associated with this collection will be
designated as BOEM forms; e.g.,
BOEMRE Form 0137 will be designated
as BOEM–0137.
Frequency: On occasion, semimonthly, and varies by section.
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
190,480 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.

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified four non-hour costs
associated with this information
collection that are cost recovery fees.
They consist of fees being submitted
with EP’s ($3,442), DPP’s or DOCD’s
($3,971), DWOP’s ($3,336), and CID’s
($25,629). There is also one non-hour
cost burden associated with the
Protected Species Observer Program.
The cost associated with this program is
due to observation activities that are
usually subcontracted to other service
companies with expertise in these areas.
Since all of the observation duty and
reporting would be done while on the
vessel and by contractors, these
requirements were calculated as nonhour cost burdens. We estimate that the
annual total non-hour cost burden is
$3,597,157, and we have not identified
any other non-hour cost burdens
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.)

Jkt 223001

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.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on July 6, 2011,
we published a Federal Register notice
(76 FR 39419) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In
addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB
control number for the information
collection requirements imposed by the
30 CFR 250 regulations and form. 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 comment, from the
Marine Mammal Commission,
supported our request to OMB. The
second comment, from the Center for
Regulatory Effectiveness, requested that
we should state that we are not
submitting any ICRs for seismic
regulations that are 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 NTL
2007–G02 and 30 CFR part 250, subpart
B regulations, which are covered under
OMB Control Number 1010–0151. We
have no plans, at this time, to change
the content of or the resultant burdens
imposed by NTL 2007–G02. Therefore,
BOEMRE should move forward with the
required information collection to
ensure compliance with OMB
deadlines. If the lawsuit settlement or
resulting decree requires changes to the
NTL and/or DOI regulations,
information collection coordination and
OMB approval will occur before any
NTL is reissued or regulations are
promulgated.
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. The
OMB has up to 60 days to approve or

disapprove the information collection
