SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on April 14,
2017 (82 FR 18008). No comments were
received.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of
BOEM; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might BOEM enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might BOEM minimize the burden of
this collection on the respondents,

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
Lands Act (Act), as amended (43 U.S.C.
1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)), authorizes
the Secretary of the Interior to
administer the provisions relating to the
leasing of the Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS), and to prescribe such rules and
regulations as may be necessary to carry
out such provisions. Additionally, the
Act authorizes the Secretary to
implement regulations to grant to
qualified persons, offering the highest
cash bonuses on the basis of competitive
bidding, leases of any mineral other
than oil, gas, and sulphur. This applies
to any area of the OCS 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.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 581
implement these statutory requirements.
There has been no leasing activity on
the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas,
or sulphur under these regulations for
several years, and BOEM has not
received information under this Part of
its regulation. However, there is
potential for a person, entity, or
company to request that minerals other
than oil, gas, or sulfur be offered for
lease. Therefore, we are renewing OMB
approval for this information collection.
BOEM will use the information
required by 30 CFR part 581 to
determine if statutory and regulatory

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 196 / Thursday, October 12, 2017 / Notices
requirements are met prior to the
issuance of a lease. Among other things,
BOEM will use the information to:
• Evaluate the area and minerals
requested by the lessee to assess the
viability of offering leases for sale;
• Request the state(s) to initiate the
establishment of a joint group to assess
the proposed action;
• Ensure excessive overriding royalty
interests are not created that would put
economic constraints on all parties
involved;
• Document that a leasehold or
geographical subdivision has been
surrendered by the record title holder;
and
• Determine if activities on the
proposed lease area(s) will have a
significant impact on the environment.
We protect proprietary information in
accordance with the provisions of the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552), the Department of the Interior’s
implementing regulations (43 CFR part

47577

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect
the burden estimate for the renewal will
be 984 hours, which reflects a decrease
of 280 hour burdens.
In calculating the burdens, responses
to requests for information and interest
or proposed notices of sale pursuant to
30 CFR 581.12 and 581.16 do not
constitute information collection under
5 CFR 1320.3(h)(4). These inquiries are
general solicitations of public comment,
so BOEM has removed the burden hours
associated with them, reflecting a
decrease of 280 hour burdens.
The following table details the
individual BOEM components and
respective hour burden estimates of this
ICR. 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.

2), and BOEM’s regulation at 30 CFR
581.7.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR 581,
Leasing of Minerals Other than Oil, Gas,
and Sulphur in the Outer Continental
Shelf.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0082.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: As
there are no active respondents, we
estimated the potential annual number
of respondents to be one. Potential
respondents are potential OCS lessees,
state governments, and OCS lessees.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 10 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 984 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: We have identified one
non-hour cost burden for this collection,
a $50 required or non-required filing
document fee under 30 CFR 581.41.
