Per the OCS Lands Act, BOEM collects
the information to determine whether an OCS facility will have a
significant effect on the air quality. Respondents are OCS Federal
oil and gas and sulphur lessees and/or operators. BOEM is proposing
to update its regulations to be in line with the EPA's national
ambient air quality standards pursuant to the Clean Air
Act.
This is a new collection;
therefore, BOEM is requesting a program increase of 146,490 hours
and $3,455,000 non-hour cost burdens for the new and expanded
requirements in the rulemaking.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
