Standards Branch at (703) 787–1607 to
request additional information about
this ICR.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR part 282, Operations in
the Outer Continental Shelf for Minerals
Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0021.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)), authorizes
the Secretary of the Interior to
implement regulations to grant leases of
any mineral other than oil, gas, and
sulphur to qualified parties. This
regulation governs mining operations
within the OCS and establishes a
comprehensive leasing and regulatory
program for such minerals. This
regulation has been designed to: (1)
Recognize the differences between the
OCS activities associated with oil, gas,
and sulphur discovery and development
and those associated with the discovery
and development of other minerals; (2)
facilitate participation by States directly
affected by OCS mining activities; (3)
provide opportunities for consultation
and coordination with other OCS users
and uses; (4) balance development with
environmental protection; (5) insure a
fair return to the public; (6) preserve
and maintain free enterprise
competition; and (7) encourage the
development of new technology.
The authorities and responsibilities
described above are among those
delegated to the Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement (BSEE).
Therefore, this ICR addresses the
Citation 30 CFR 282

• To identify and evaluate the
cause(s) of a hazard(s) generating a
suspension, the potential damage from a
hazard(s) and the measures available to
mitigate the potential for damage.
• For technical evaluations that
provide a basis for BSEE to make
informed decisions to approve,
disapprove, or require modification of
the proposed activities.
We protect proprietary information
according to the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and DOI’s
implementing regulations (43 CFR 2),
and §§ 282.5, 282.6, and 282.7.
Responses are mandatory or are
required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency: On occasion and as a
result of situations encountered
depending upon the requirements.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal oil, gas,
or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 56 hours
and $100,000 non-hour cost burdens. In
this submission, we are requesting the
same hour and non-hour cost burdens.
The following chart details the
individual components and respective
hour burden estimates of this ICR. 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.

regulations at 30 CFR 282, Operations in
the Outer Continental Shelf for Minerals
Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur. It
should be noted that there has been no
activity in the OCS for minerals other
than oil, gas and sulphur for many years
and no information collected. However,
because these are regulatory
requirements, the potential exists for
information to be collected; therefore,
we are renewing this collection of
information.
BSEE will use the information
required by 30 CFR 282 to determine if
lessees are complying with the
regulations that implement the mining
operations program for minerals other
than oil, gas, and sulphur. Specifically,
BSEE will use the information:
• To ensure that operations for the
production of minerals other than oil,
gas, and sulphur in the OCS are
conducted in a manner that will result
in orderly resource recovery,
development, and the protection of the
human, marine, and coastal
environments.
• To ensure that adequate measures
will be taken during operations to
prevent waste, conserve the natural
resources of the OCS, and to protect the
environment, human life, and
correlative rights.
• To determine if suspensions of
activities are in the national interest, to
facilitate proper development of a lease
including reasonable time to develop a
mine and construct its supporting
facilities, and to allow for the
construction or negotiation for use of
transportation facilities.

estimated that the cost of such a study
for industry would be approximately
$100,000 to comply with the
requirement. 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: 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 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.
Agencies must also estimate the nonhour paperwork cost burdens to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting
from the collection of information.
Therefore, if you have other than hour
burden 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. For further
information on this burden, refer to 5
CFR 1320.3(b)(1) and (2), or contact the
Bureau representative listed previously
in this notice.
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 Comment Procedures: 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.
