FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Office of Policy, Regulations, and
Analysis at [email protected] to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 1010–0072.
Title: 30 CFR part 580, Prospecting for
Minerals other than Oil, Gas, and
Sulphur on the Outer Continental Shelf
and Authorizations of Noncommercial
Geological and Geophysical (G&G)
Activities.
Form: BOEM–0134, Requirements for
G&G Prospecting, Exploration, or
Scientific Research on the OCS Related
to Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and
Sulphur.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act (OCSLA), 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 to administer leasing of
the OCS. Section 1337(k) of the OCS
Lands Act authorizes the Secretary
‘‘. . . to grant to the qualified persons
offering the highest cash bonuses on a
basis of competitive bidding leases of
any mineral other than oil, gas, and
sulphur in any area of the outer
Continental Shelf not then under lease
for such mineral upon such royalty,
rental, and other terms and conditions
as the Secretary may prescribe at the
time of offering the area for lease.’’ An
amendment to the OCS Lands Act (Pub.
L. 103–426) authorizes the Secretary to
negotiate agreements (in lieu of the
previously required competitive bidding
process) for the use of OCS sand, gravel,
and shell resources for certain specified
types of public uses. The specified uses
will support construction of
governmental projects for beach
nourishment, shore protection, and
wetlands enhancement, or any such
project authorized by the Federal
Government.
Section 1340 of the OCSLA states that
‘‘. . . any person authorized by the
Secretary may conduct geological and
geophysical explorations in the [O]uter
Continental Shelf, which do not
interfere with or endanger actual
operations under any lease maintained
or granted pursuant to this Act, and
which are not unduly harmful to aquatic
life in such area.’’ Geological and
geophysical exploration can only be
performed pre-lease under a permit,
authorization, or scientific research
notice. The section further requires that
permits to conduct such activities may
only be issued if it is determined that
the applicant is qualified; the activities

VerDate Sep<11>2014

21:42 Dec 29, 2014

Jkt 235001

do not result in pollution or create
hazardous or unsafe conditions; the
activities do not unreasonably interfere
with other uses of the area or disturb
any site, structure, or object of historical
or archaeological significance.
Prospecting for marine minerals
includes certain aspects of exploration
as defined in the OCSLA at 43 U.S.C.
1331(k). The term ‘‘exploration’’ means
the process of searching for minerals,
including geophysical surveys where
magnetic, gravity, seismic, or other
systems are used to detect or imply the
presence of such minerals. The OCSLA
requires all parties who are prospecting
marine minerals for commercial
purposes to be authorized. The OCSLA
also requires non-Federal parties (such
as State agencies and contractors of
State agencies) to obtain authorization
from the Secretary to conduct
noncommercial G&G exploration
activities (see 43 U.S.C. 1340(a)(1)).
As a Federal agency, BOEM has a
responsibility to comply with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), Endangered Species Act, and
Marine Mammal Protection Act, among
other environmental laws. This includes
a substantive duty not to take any
agency action that may affect a
protected species, as well as a
procedural duty to consult with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service and National
Marine Fisheries Service, when
warranted, 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 the OMB Circular A–25
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. All G&G permits for
commercial prospecting are subject to
cost recovery, and BOEM regulations
specify service fees for these requests.
The authority to carry out these
responsibilities is contained in
regulations under 30 CFR 580, as well
as OCSLA Section 11 (43 U.S.C.
1340(a)(1)), which is the subject of this
information collection renewal. BOEM
uses the information to ensure there is
no environmental degradation, personal
harm, or unsafe operations and
conditions, damage to historical or
archaeological sites, or interference with
other uses; to analyze and evaluate
preliminary or planned mining
activities; to monitor progress and
activities in the OCS; to acquire G&G
data and information collected under a
Federal permit offshore; and to
determine eligibility for reimbursement
from the Government for certain costs.

Respondents are required to submit
form BOEM–0134 to provide the
information necessary to evaluate their
qualifications, and upon approval,
respondents are issued a permit or
authorization.
BOEM uses the information collected
to understand the G&G characteristics of
marine mineral-bearing physiographic
regions of the OCS. The information
aids BOEM in obtaining a proper
balance among the potentials for
environmental damage, the discovery of
marine minerals, and associated impacts
on affected coastal States.
In this renewal, BOEM is expanding
the use of form BOEM–0134 to include
applications to conduct noncommercial
prospecting (exploration) of marine
minerals, such as OCS sand, gravel, and
shell resources for public use. BOEM is
also updating the form to clarify the
types of copies being requested, delete
incorrect language, make
recommendations for faster processing,
update addresses, and reference
environmental mitigation requirements.
To respond to the types of questions
BOEM receives on the form, BOEM is
also clarifying wording, providing
examples/tables to reduce confusion,
and clarifying Regional differences,
when necessary, to further assist
applicants. BOEM is not asking for more
information, just outlining current
requirements in more detail. However,
to better account for the requirement to
submit environmental information
sufficient for the environmental review,
BOEM is increasing the burden hours
from 10 to 88 hours for all OCS Regions.
We are also adding the terms
‘‘authorization(s)’’ and ‘‘exploration’’
throughout the form so that the form
also serves as the instrument to
authorize entities to carry out
noncommercial prospecting
(exploration) of marine minerals.
Responses are mandatory or required
to obtain or retain a benefit. No
questions of a sensitive nature are
asked. The BOEM protects information
considered proprietary according to 30
CFR 580.70, applicable sections of 30
CFR parts 550 and 552, and the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and its implementing regulations
(43 CFR part 2).
Frequency: On occasion, annual, or as
specified in permits.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: There are four to seven
permittees/respondents, including those
required to only file notices (scientific
research).
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We
estimate the burden for this information
collection to be about 488 hours. The

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.

are subject to modification per inflation annually.
2 Only permits, not authorizations, are subject to cost recovery.
3 No requests received for many years. Minimal burden for regulatory (PRA) purposes only.
4 These permits/authorizations are prepared by BOEM and sent to respondents; therefore, the forms themselves do not incur burden hours.

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have identified one nonhour cost burden for this collection.
Under § 580.12(a), there is an
application fee of $2,012 when
respondents submit a permit application
(refer to the table above). Respondents
conducting scientific research are
required only to file a notice with
BOEM and are not subject to the cost
recovery fee.
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: We invite comments
concerning this information collection
on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our burden
estimates;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
respondents.
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

and software you purchase to prepare
for collecting information, monitoring,

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001

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.
