SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of the Museum
of Natural History and Planetarium,
Roger Williams Park, that meet the
definition of unassociated funerary
objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal

Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
ADDRESSES:
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, six
cultural items were removed from the
Mix Cave site (PU 93) in Pulaski
County, MO, by Mr. and Mrs. Edward H.
Nadeau. The six unassociated funerary
objects are 5 potsherds and 1 worked
white-tailed deer ulna. The objects were
donated to the Museum of Natural
History and Planetarium, Roger
Williams Park, by Mr. and Mrs. Nadeau
on January 23, 1933. The objects are all
labeled ‘‘Mix Cave, Pulaski Co., Mo.’’
They were given the catalog number
E2706 and the accession number 8918.
The objects were part of a collection of
50 lots of American Indian objects and
geological specimens collected in the
1920s by the Nadeaus. No other records
related to this donation have been
located.
Following an examination by
representatives of The Osage Nation
(previously listed as the Osage Tribe) in
January 2016, the Osage Nation and the
museum concurred that the objects are
unassociated funerary objects. The
Osage Nation considers the Mix Cave
site (PU 93) a sacred site and a burial
located on Osage ancestral lands.
Determinations Made by the Museum of
Natural History and Planetarium,
Roger Williams Park
Officials of the Museum of Natural
History and Planetarium, Roger
Williams Park, have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 6 cultural items described above are
reasonably believed to have been placed
with or near individual human remains
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703

13839
at the time of death or later as part of
the death rite or ceremony and are
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
objects and The Osage Nation
(previously listed as the Osage Tribe).
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to
Michael W. Kieron, Museum of Natural
History and Planetarium, Roger

that date, if no additional claimants
have come forward, transfer of control
of the unassociated funerary objects to
The Osage Nation (previously listed as
the Osage Tribe) may proceed.
The Museum of Natural History and
Planetarium, Roger Williams Park, is
responsible for notifying The Osage
Nation (previously listed as the Osage
Tribe) that this notice has been
published.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 250, Application for
Permit to Modify (APM) and all
supporting documentation.
Form(s): BSEE–0124.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0026.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act at 43 U.S.C. 1334
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to prescribe rules and regulations
necessary for the administration of the
leasing provisions of that Act related to
mineral resources on the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease,
right-of-way, or a right-of-use and
easement. Operations on the OCS must
preserve, protect, and develop oil and
natural gas resources in a manner that
is consistent with the need to make such
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:19 Mar 14, 2017
Jkt 241001
resources available to meet the Nation’s
energy needs as rapidly as possible; to
balance orderly energy resource
development with protection of human,
marine, and coastal environments; to
ensure the public a fair and equitable
return on the resources of the OCS; and
to preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition.
In addition to the general rulemaking
authority of the OCSLA at 43 U.S.C.
1334, section 301(a) of the Federal Oil
and Gas Royalty Management Act
(FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants
authority to the Secretary to prescribe
such rules and regulations as are
reasonably necessary to carry out
FOGRMA’s provisions. While the
majority of FOGRMA is directed to
royalty collection and enforcement,
some provisions apply to offshore
operations. For example, section 108 of
FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1718, grants the
Secretary broad authority to inspect
lease sites for the purpose of
determining whether there is
compliance with the mineral leasing
laws. Section 109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30
U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) and (d)(1), impose
substantial civil penalties for failure to
permit lawful inspections and for
knowing or willful preparation or
submission of false, inaccurate, or
misleading reports, records, or other
information. Because the Secretary has
delegated some of the authority under
FOGRMA to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is
included as additional authority for
these requirements.
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. Under the Department
of the Interior’s implementing policy,
BSEE is required to charge fees for
services that provide special benefits or
privileges to an identifiable non-Federal
recipient above and beyond those which
accrue to the public at large.
Applications for permits to modify
approvals are subject to cost recovery,
and BSEE regulations specify service
fees for these requests.
These authorities and responsibilities
are among those delegated to BSEE. The
regulations at 30 CFR 250 stipulate the
various requirements that must be
submitted with form BSEE–0124,
Application for Permit to Modify
(APM). The form and the numerous
submittals that are included and/or
attached to the form are the subject of
this collection. This request also covers
any related Notices to Lessees and
Operators (NTLs) that BSEE issues to
PO 00000

clarify, supplement, or provide
additional guidance on some aspects of
our regulations.
The changes to the form in this ICR
include updating the citations listed
under No. 18; as well as, adding several
additional questions (G through M)
pertaining to shearing data, BOP testing,
casing pressure issues, etc. Responses
are mandatory and no questions of a
sensitive nature are asked. The BSEE
will protect any confidential
commercial or proprietary information
according to the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and DOI’s
implementing regulations (43 CFR 2);
section 26 of OCSLA (43 U.S.C. 1352);
30 CFR 250.197, Data and information
to be made available to the public or for
limited inspection; and 30 CFR part 252,
OCS Oil and Gas Information Program.
The BSEE uses the information on the
APM form (BSEE–0124) to ensure the
well completion, workover, and
decommissioning unit is fit for the
intended purpose; equipment is
maintained in a state of readiness and
meets safety standards; each well
completion, workover, and
decommissioning crew is properly
trained and able to promptly perform
well-control activities at any time
during well operations; and compliance
with safety standards. The current
regulations provide for safe and proper
field or reservoir development, resource
evaluation, conservation, protection of
correlative rights, safety, and
environmental protection. We also
review well records to ascertain whether
the operations have encountered
hydrocarbons or H2S and to ensure that
H2S detection equipment, personnel
protective equipment, and training of
the crew are adequate for safe
operations in zones known to contain
H2S and zones where the presence of
H2S is unknown. The information on
the form is as follows:
Heading: Identify the well name, lease
operator, type of revision and timing of
the proposed modifications.
Well at Total Depth/Surface: Identify
the unique location (area, block and
lease of the proposed activity).
Proposed or Completed Work:
Information identifying the specific
activity, revision or modification for
which approval is requested. This
includes specific identification of
equipment, engineering, and pressure
test data needed by BSEE to ascertain
that operations will be conducted in a
manner that ensures the safety of
personnel and protection of the
environment.

displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.,)
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.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on September 22,
2106, we published a Federal Register
notice (81 FR 65405) announcing that
we would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In
addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB
Control Number for the information
collection requirements imposed by the
30 CFR 250 regulations and forms. The
regulation also informs the public that
they may comment at any time on the
collections of information and provides
the address to which they should send
comments. We received no comments in
response to the Federal Register notice,
nor did we receive any unsolicited
comments.
Public Availability of Comments:
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.

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act at 43 U.S.C. 1334
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to prescribe rules and regulations
necessary for the administration of the
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
leasing provisions of the Act related to
mineral resources on the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease,
right-of-way, or a right-of-use and
easement. Operations on the OCS must
preserve, protect, and develop oil and
natural gas resources in a manner that
is consistent with the need to make such
resources available to meet the Nation’s
energy needs as rapidly as possible; to
balance orderly energy resource
development with protection of human,
marine, and coastal environments; to
ensure the public a fair and equitable
return on the resources of the OCS; and
to preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition.
In addition to the general rulemaking
authority of the OCS Lands Act at 43
U.S.C. 1334, section 301(a) of the
Federal Oil and Gas Royalty
Management Act (FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C.
1751(a), grants authority to the Secretary
to prescribe such rules and regulations
as are reasonably necessary to carry out
FOGRMA’s provisions. While the
majority of FOGRMA is directed to
royalty collection and enforcement,
some provisions apply to offshore
operations. For example, section 108 of
FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1718, grants the
Secretary broad authority to inspect
lease sites for the purpose of
determining whether there is
compliance with the mineral leasing
laws. Section 109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30
U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) and (d)(1), impose
substantial civil penalties for failure to
permit lawful inspections and for
knowing or willful preparation or
submission of false, inaccurate, or
misleading reports, records, or other
information. Because the Secretary has
delegated some of the authority under
FOGRMA to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is
included as additional authority for
these requirements.
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. Under the Department
of the Interior’s implementing policy,
BSEE is required to charge fees for
services that provide special benefits or
privileges to an identifiable non-Federal
recipient above and beyond those which
accrue to the public at large. A request
for approval required in 30 CFR 250.171
is subject to cost recovery, and BSEE
regulations specify service fees for these
requests in 30 CFR 250.125.
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are among those
delegated to BSEE. The regulations at 30
