SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart L, Oil and
Gas Production Measurement, Surface
Commingling, and Security.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0002.
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
(Secretary) to prescribe rules and
regulations necessary for the
administration of the leasing provisions
of the Act related to the mineral
resources on the OCS. Such rules and
regulations will apply to all operations
conducted under a lease. Operations on
the OCS must preserve, protect, and
develop oil and natural gas resources in
a manner that is consistent with the
need to make such resources available
to meet the Nation’s energy needs as
rapidly as possible; to balance orderly
energy resource development with
protection of human, marine, and
coastal environments; to ensure the
public a fair and equitable return on the
resources of the OCS; and to preserve
and maintain free enterprise
competition.
In addition to the general rulemaking
authority of the OCSLA at 43 U.S.C.
1334, section 301(a) of the Federal Oil
and Gas Royalty Management Act
(FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants
authority to the Secretary to prescribe
such rules and regulations as are
reasonably necessary to carry out
FOGRMA’s provisions. While the
majority of FOGRMA is directed to
royalty collection and enforcement,
some provisions apply to offshore
operations. For example, section 108 of
FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1718, grants the
Secretary broad authority to inspect
lease sites for the purpose of
determining whether there is
compliance with the mineral leasing
laws. Section 109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30
U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) and (d)(1), impose
substantial civil penalties for failure to
permit lawful inspections and for
knowing or willful preparation or
submission of false, inaccurate, or
misleading reports, records, or other
information. Because the Secretary has
delegated some of the authority under

E:\FR\FM\10JYN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 10, 2013 / Notices

FOGRMA to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is
included as additional authority for
these requirements.
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. Under the Department
of the Interior’s implementing policy,
BSEE is required to charge fees for
services that provide special benefits or
privileges to an identifiable non-Federal
recipient above and beyond those which
accrue to the public at large.
Applications for surface commingling
and measurement are subject to cost
recovery and BSEE regulations specify
service fees for these requests.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 250,
Subpart L, implement these statutory
requirements. We use the information to
ensure that the volumes of
hydrocarbons produced are measured
Citation 30 CFR 250
Subpart L

accurately, and royalties are paid on the
proper volumes. Specifically, we need
the information to:
• Determine if measurement
equipment is properly installed,
provides accurate measurement of
production on which royalty is due, and
is operating properly;
• Obtain rates of production
measured at royalty meters, which can
be examined during field inspections;
• Ascertain if all removals of oil and
condensate from the lease are reported;
• Ensure that the sales location is
secure and production cannot be
removed without the volumes being
recorded;
• Review proving reports to verify
that data on run tickets are calculated
and reported accurately;
• Review gas volume statements and
compare them with the Oil and Gas
Operations Reports to verify accuracy.
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act

Reporting or recordkeeping requirement

(5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, Data and

items of a sensitive nature are collected.
Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: Varies by section, but
primarily monthly, or on occasion.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal oil, gas

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
information collection is a total of
30,856 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

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified two non-hour cost
burdens, both of which are cost recovery
fees. Note that the actual fee amounts
are specified in 30 CFR 250.125, which
provide a consolidated table of all the
fees required under the 30 CFR 250
regulations. The non-hour cost burden
total in this collection of information is
an estimated $344,279. The cost
burdens are for: (1) filing fees associated
with submitting requests for approval of
simple applications (applications to
temporarily reroute production (for a
duration not to exceed 6 months);
production tests prior to pipeline
construction; departures related to
meter proving, well testing, or sampling
frequency ($1,271 per application)) or,
(2) submitting a request for approval of
a complex application (creation of new
facility measurement points (FMPs);
association of leases or units with
existing FMPs; inclusion of production
from additional structures; meter
updates which add buyback gas meters
or pigging meters; other applications
which request deviations from the
approved allocation procedures ($3,760
per application)).
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.,)
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 collected; and (d)
minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
technology.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on November 15,
2012, we published a Federal Register
notice (77 FR 68144) 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. The regulation
also informs the public that they may

We received one comment in response
to the Federal Register notice, but it was
not germane to the paperwork burden of
this collection.

email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
With this notice, we complete the
CCP process for Malheur Refuge. We
started this process through a Federal
Register notice (74 FR 31046; June 29,
2009). We released the Draft CCP/EIS to
the public, and requested comments on
it in a notice of availability in the
Federal Register (76 FR 55937,
September 9, 2011). We also announced
the availability of the final CCP/EIS in
the Federal Register (77 FR 75644,
December 21, 2012).
The Refuge was established on August
18, 1908, by President Theodore
Roosevelt, as the Lake Malheur Bird
Reservation; it was originally set aside
to prevent plume hunters from
decimating colonial nesting bird
populations. The Refuge protected
unclaimed lands encompassed by
Malheur, Mud, and Harney Lakes ‘‘as a
preserve and breeding ground for native
birds.’’ The Refuge boundary was
expanded in 1935 to include the Blitzen
Valley, and again in 1941 to include the
Double-O Unit. Refuge purposes include
‘‘a refuge and breeding ground for
migratory birds and other wild life . . .’’
and ‘‘for use as an inviolate sanctuary,
or for any other management purpose,
for migratory birds.’’
The Refuge consists of more than
187,000 acres of open water (marsh,
river, and stream), wetlands, springs,
riparian areas, irrigated meadows, grain
fields, and shrub-steppe uplands. With
its abundance of water in an otherwise
arid landscape, the Refuge attracts a
significant number of birds from the
Pacific Flyway during spring migration.
The Refuge is included in several
flyway and regional bird conservation
plans, and is designated an Important
Bird Area by the National Audubon
Society. However, populations of
breeding waterfowl and waterbirds on
