Management (BOEM) is inviting

paperwork requirements in the
regulations under 30 CFR 556, Leasing

Regulations, and Analysis at (703) 787–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 1010–0006.
Title: 30 CFR Part 556, Leasing of
Sulphur or Oil and Gas in the OCS; 30
CFR Part 550, Subpart J, Pipelines and
Pipeline Rights-of-Way; and 30 CFR Part
560 OCS Oil and Gas Leasing.
Forms: BOEM–0150, 0151, 0152,
2028, 2028A, 2030.
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 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; balance
orderly energy resource development
with protection of human, marine, and
coastal environments; ensure the public
a fair and equitable return on the
resources of the OCS; and preserve and
maintain free enterprise competition.
Also, the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA)
prohibits certain lease bidding
arrangements (42 U.S.C. 6213(c)).
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 Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A–25, authorize
Federal agencies to recover the full cost
of services that provide special benefits.
Under the Department of the Interior’s
(DOI) implementing policy, the Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is
required to charge the full cost for
services that provide special benefits or
privileges to an identifiable non-Federal
recipient above and beyond those that
accrue to the public at large.
Instruments of transfer of a lease or
interest are subject to cost recovery, and
BOEM regulations specify the filing fee
for these transfer applications.
This notice concerns the reporting
and recordkeeping requirements of
BOEM regulations at 30 CFR Part 556,

OCS; 30 CFR Part 550, Subpart J,

to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that
clarify and provide additional guidance
on some aspects of these regulations.
This ICR also concerns the use of forms
to process bonds, transfer interest in
leases, and file relinquishments.

• BOEM–2030, OCS Pipeline Rightof-Way Grant Bond.
BOEM uses the information collected
to determine if applicants are qualified
to hold leases in the OCS, to assign a
qualification number to avoid
respondent submission of information
already on file; develop the semiannual
List of Restricted Joint Bidders; ensure
the qualification of transferees and track
operators on leaseholds; document that
a leasehold or geographical subdivision
has been surrendered by the record title
holder; and ensure that adequate funds
are secured to complete existing and
future bond obligations.
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
according to section 26 of the OCS
Lands Act, the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), 30 CFR
556.10(d). No items of a sensitive nature
are collected. Responses are mandatory
or are required to obtain a benefit.
Frequency: On occasion or annual.
Description of Respondents:
Respondents comprise Federal oil, gas,
or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect
the annual reporting burden estimate for
this collection to be 16,235 hours. The
following table details the individual
components and respective hour burden
estimates of this ICR.

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
Sections 556.63 and 556.64 require
respondents to pay service fees when
submitting a request for transfer of
record title interest or operating rights
interest ($198) and to file documents for
record purposes ($29). The service fees
are required to recover the Federal
Government’s processing costs. These
fees reflect the recent adjustment for
inflation that became effective February
2, 2013 (78 FR 5836, 1/28/13).
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:07 Nov 01, 2013
Jkt 232001
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: Before submitting an ICR
to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
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 on: (a) Whether or not the
collection of information is necessary,
including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the burden estimates;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden on respondents.
PO 00000
Frm 00110

Agencies must also estimate the nonhour cost burdens to respondents or
recordkeepers resulting from the
collection of information. Therefore, if
you have costs to generate, maintain,
and disclose this information, you
should comment and provide your total
capital and startup costs or annual
operation, maintenance, and purchase
of service costs. You should describe the
methods you use to estimate major cost
factors, including system and
technology acquisition, expected useful
life of capital equipment, discount
rate(s), and the period over which you
incur costs. Capital and startup costs
include, among other items, computers
and software you purchase to prepare
for collecting information, monitoring,

and record storage facilities. You should
not include estimates for equipment or
services purchased: (a) Before October 1,
1995; (b) to comply with requirements
not associated with the information
collection; (c) for reasons other than to
provide information or keep records for
the Government; or (d) as part of
customary and usual business or private
practices.
We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
submission for OMB approval. As a
result of your comments, we will make
any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.
Public Availability of Comments:
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
