III. Request for Comments
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
a person is not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it
displays a current and valid OMB
control number.
Comments: Before submitting an ICR
to OMB, PRA Section 3506(c)(2)(A)
requires each agency to ‘‘* * * provide
60-day notice in the Federal Register
* * * 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 collected; and (d) minimize
the burden on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
The PRA also requires agencies to
estimate the total annual reporting
‘‘non-hour cost’’ burden to respondents
or recordkeepers resulting from the
collection of information. If you have
costs to generate, maintain, and disclose
this information, you should comment
and provide your total capital and
startup cost components or annual
operation, maintenance, and purchase
of service components. You should

1. Abstract
The Secretary of the U.S. Department
of the Interior is responsible for mineral
resource development on Federal and
Indian lands and the Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS). Under various laws, the
Secretary’s responsibility is to manage
mineral resources production on
Federal and Indian lands and the OCS,
collect the royalties and other mineral
revenues due, and distribute the funds
collected under those laws. ONRR
performs the royalty management
functions and assists the Secretary in
carrying out the Department’s
responsibility. 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/
PubLaws/default.htm.
In September 2011, President Obama
announced the U.S. commitment to
domestic implementation of EITI, a key
element of the President’s Open
Government Partnership commitments.
President Obama appointed the
Secretary of the Interior as the senior
U.S. official to lead the USEITI
implementation. EITI is a voluntary
global effort designed to strengthen
transparency, accountability, and public
trust for the revenues paid and received
for a country’s oil, gas, and mineral
resources. The Administration renewed
its commitment to implement EITI in
the December 2013 U.S. Open
Government National Action Plan. By
signing onto the global EITI standard,
the U.S. Government will help ensure
that American taxpayers are receiving
every dollar due for the extraction of
these valuable public resources. The
EITI Standard contains the set of
requirements that countries need to
meet in order to be recognized first as
an EITI Candidate and ultimately as an

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:20 May 14, 2015

Jkt 235001

EITI Compliant Country. In March 2014,
the U.S. became the first G7 country to
achieve Candidate Country status. When
fully implemented, EITI will ensure
more transparency in how the country’s
natural resources are governed and also
will provide full disclosure of
government revenues from its extractive
sector.
The following laws and executive
initiative are applicable to USEITI,
including the Secretary’s and ONRR’s
management of mineral resource
production, revenue, and information
disclosure obligations:
• U.S. Open Government National
Action Plan
• Freedom of Information Act, as
amended (5 U.S.C. 552)
• Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, as
amended (43 U.S.C. 1331–56b),
including provisions of the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (42 U.S.C. 15801
et seq.)
• Federal Oil and Gas Royalty
Management Act of 1982 as amended
by the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty
Simplification and Fairness Act of
1996 (30 U.S.C. 1701–1759)
• Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 (30
U.S.C. 1001–28)
• Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C 181–
287)
• Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired
Lands (30 U.S.C 351–60)
General Information
International EITI requirements direct
participating governments to publish
annual reports to help citizens
understand how governments manage
their extractive sectors. The U.S. Open
Government National Action Plan
commits the U.S. to publish the first
United States EITI report in 2015 and to
achieve EITI compliance in 2016. An
Independent Administrator produces
the annual reports, which include
parallel public disclosures by both the
government and companies. These
disclosures relate to the payments that
companies have made to the
government on their oil, gas, and mining
development.
In order to produce the USEITI annual
reports, the Independent Administrator,
in partnership with industry and DOI,
created a document called the ‘‘USEITI
Reporting Form,’’ including reporting
instructions, which provide guidance on
how to complete this form. The
Independent Administrator will use this
form to collect revenue information
from extractive companies which paid
more than $20 million to ONRR in a
given year. The form will collect
information on the amounts of royalties,
rentals, and other payments related to
mineral development that companies

PO 00000

Frm 00124

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

have made to the Federal Government.
The Independent Administrator will
collect this information; however, it will
not collect items of a sensitive nature
such as proprietary data, Personally
Identifiable Information, etc. EITI is a
voluntary initiative, and companies are
not required to provide the requested
information.
OMB Approval
We are requesting OMB’s approval to
collect this information. This ICR is
necessary to successfully implement
EITI in the U.S. Not collecting this
information would limit the Secretary’s
ability to implement the U.S. Open
Government National Action Plan and
could prevent the Independent
Administrator from creating and
completing the annual USEITI report. If
the annual USEITI report is not
completed, the U.S. will not become an
EITI Compliant Country.
II. Data

hours. We estimate that each response
will take approximately 84 hours for
each company to complete. We have not
included in our estimates certain
requirements performed in the normal
course of business and considered usual
and customary.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-hour’’ Cost
Burden: We have identified no ‘‘nonhour’’ cost burden associated with the
collection of information.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
a person is not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
III. Request for Comments
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires each agency to ‘‘* * * publish
a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
* * * and otherwise consult with

automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
To comply with the public
consultation process, we published a
notice in the Federal Register on
December 18, 2014 (79 FR 75583)
announcing that we would submit this
ICR to OMB for approval. The notice
provided the required 60-day comment
period. We received no comments in
response to the notice.
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. OMB
has up to 60 days to approve or
disapprove the information collection
but may respond after 30 days.
Therefore, to ensure maximum
consideration, OMB should receive
public comments by June 15, 2015.
Public Comment Policy: ONRR will
post all comments, including names and
addresses of respondents at http://
www.regulations.gov. Before including
Personally Identifiable Information (PII),
such as your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
information in your comment(s), you
should be aware that your entire
comment (including PII) may be made
available to the public at any time.
While you may ask us to withhold PII
from public view, we cannot guarantee
that we will be able to do so.

[Docket No. DEA–392]

Importer of Controlled Substances
Registration: Cambrex Charles City
ACTION:

Notice of registration.

Cambrex Charles City applied
to be registered as an importer of certain
basic classes of controlled substances.
The Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) grants Cambrex Charles City
registration as an importer of those
controlled substances.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice
dated January 21, 2015, and published
in the Federal Register on January 28,
2015, 80 FR 4592, Cambrex Charles
City, 1205 11th Street, Charles City,
Iowa 50616–3466 applied to be
registered as an importer of certain basic
classes of controlled substances. No
comments or objections were submitted
for this notice. Comments and request
for hearings on applications to import
narcotic raw material are not
appropriate. 72 FR 3417 (January 25,
2007).
The DEA has considered the factors in
21 U.S.C. 823, 952(a) and 958(a) and
determined that the registration of
Cambrex Charles City to import the
basic classes of controlled substances is
consistent with the public interest and
with United States obligations under
international treaties, conventions, or
protocols in effect on May 1, 1971. The
DEA investigated the company’s
maintenance of effective controls
against diversion by inspecting and
testing the company’s physical security
systems, verifying the company’s
compliance with state and local laws,
and reviewing the company’s
background and history.
Therefore, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.
952(a) and 958(a), and in accordance
with 21 CFR 1301.34, the above-named
company is granted registration as an
importer of the basic classes of
controlled substances:
