SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
The Secretary of the United States
Department of the Interior is responsible
for mineral resource development on
Federal and Indian lands and the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS). The Secretary’s
responsibility, according to various
laws, is to (1) manage mineral resource
production from Federal and Indian

PO 00000

Frm 00086

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

95183

lands and the OCS; (2) collect the
royalties and other mineral revenues
due; and (3) distribute the funds
collected under those laws. 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.
The Secretary also has a trust
responsibility to manage Indian lands
and seek advice and information from
Indian beneficiaries. ONRR performs the
minerals revenue management functions
for the Secretary and assists the
Secretary in carrying out the
Department’s trust responsibility for
Indian lands.
You can find the information
collections covered in this ICR at 30
CFR parts:
• 1202, subpart H, which pertains to
geothermal resources royalties.
• 1206, subparts F, H, and J, which
pertain to product valuation of Federal
coal, geothermal resources, and Indian
coal.
• 1210, subparts E and H, which
pertain to production and royalty
reports on solid minerals and
geothermal resources leases.
• 1212, subparts E and H, which
pertain to recordkeeping of reports and
files for solid minerals and geothermal
resources leases.
• 1217, subparts E, F, and G, which
pertain to audits and inspections of
coal, other solid minerals, and
geothermal resources leases.
• 1218, subparts E and F, which
pertain to royalties, rentals, bonuses,
and other monies payment for solid
minerals and geothermal resources.
All data reported is subject to
subsequent audit and adjustment.
General Information
When a company or an individual
enters into a lease to explore, develop,
produce, and dispose of minerals from
Federal or Indian lands, that company
or individual agrees to pay the lessor a
share in a value of production from the
leased lands. The lessee or designee
must report various kinds of
information to the lessor relative to the
disposition of the leased minerals. Such
information is generally available
within the records of the lessee or others
involved in developing, transporting,
processing, purchasing, or selling such
minerals.
Information Collections
ONRR, acting for the Secretary, uses
the information that we collect to ensure
that lessees accurately value and
appropriately pay all royalties based on
the correct product valuation. ONRR
and other Federal Government entities,

E:\FR\FM\27DEN1.SGM

27DEN1

95184

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 248 / Tuesday, December 27, 2016 / Notices

including the Bureau of Land
Management, the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, and State and Tribal
governmental entities, use the
information for audit purposes and for
evaluating the reasonableness of
product valuation or allowance claims
that lessees submit. Please refer to the
burden hour chart for all reporting
requirements and associated burden
hours.
A. Solid Minerals
Producers of coal and other solid
minerals from any Federal or Indian
lease must submit current form ONRR–
4430 and other associated data formats
such as form ONRR–4440. These
companies also report certain data on
form ONRR–2014 (OMB Control
Number 1012–0004). Producers of coal
from any Indian lease must also submit
forms ONRR–4292 and ONRR–4293, if
they wish to claim allowances on form
ONRR–4430; the information that ONRR
requests is the minimum necessary to
carry out our mission and places the
least possible burden on respondents.
B. Geothermal Resources
This ICR also covers some of the
information collections for geothermal

II. Data

resources, which ONRR groups by usage
(electrical generation, direct use, and
byproduct recovery), and by disposition
of the resources (arm’s-length
(unaffiliated) contract sales, non-arm’slength contract sales, and no contract
sales) within each use group. ONRR
relies primarily on data that payors
report on form ONRR–2014 for the
majority of our business processes,
including geothermal information. In
addition to using the data to account for
royalties that payors report, ONRR uses
the data for monthly distribution of
mineral revenues and for audit and
compliance reviews.

Title: Solid Minerals and Geothermal
Collections—30 CFR parts 1202, 1206,
1210, 1212, 1217, and 1218.
OMB Control Number: 1012–0010.
Bureau Form Number: Forms ONRR–
4430, ONRR–4292, ONRR–4293, and
ONRR–4440.
Frequency: Monthly, annually, and on
occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
100 reporters.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: 3,884
hours.
We have not included in our
estimates certain requirements that
companies perform in the normal course
of business and that ONRR considers
usual and customary. This 30-day
Federal Register notice burden chart
shows an adjustment increase of +450
burden hours from the previous 60-day
notice; this adjustment is based on a
new requirement to submit additional
information for the sales summaries in
form ONRR–4440. We display the
estimated annual burden hours by CFR
section and paragraph in the following
chart.

OMB Approval
We will request OMB approval to
continue to collect this information. Not
collecting this information would limit
the Secretary’s ability to discharge
fiduciary duties and may also result in
the loss of royalty payments. We protect
the proprietary information that ONRR
receives and do not collect items of a
sensitive nature. Reporters must submit
forms ONRR–4430 and ONRR–4440.
Also, ONRR requires that reporters
submit forms ONRR–4292 and ONRR–
4293 to claim allowances on form
ONRR–4430.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 248 / Tuesday, December 27, 2016 / Notices
we would submit this ICR to OMB for

required 60-day comment period. We
received no unsolicited comments in
response to the notice.
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

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
