Members are selected to represent
various geographic regions, including
each of the administrative regions of the
NPS. At least 6 members must have
outstanding expertise in one or more of
the following fields: History,
archeology, anthropology, historical or
landscape architecture, biology, ecology,
marine sciences, or social science. At
least 4 members must have outstanding
expertise in the management of national
or state parks or protected areas, or
natural or cultural resources
management. The remaining members
must have outstanding expertise in
another professional or scientific
discipline important to the mission of
the NPS, such as financial management,
recreation use management, land use
planning, or business management. At
least one of the members must be a
locally elected official from an area
adjacent to a park. Members are
appointed by the Secretary for terms not
to exceed 4 years. The Director
designates one member to be Chair. All
members serve at the discretion of the
Secretary.
We currently are seeking to appoint 3
members to the Board and are
requesting nominations in the fields of
anthropology, archaeology, historical
architecture, landscape architecture,
biology, ecology, geology, history, and
social science; and for a locally elected
official adjacent to a park.
Nominations should be typed, and
must include a resume providing an
adequate description of the nominee’s
qualifications, including information
that would enable the Department to
make an informed decision regarding
meeting the membership requirements
of the Board and permit the Department
to contact a potential member.
Members of the Board serve as special
Government employees (SGEs), and are
required to have ethics training
annually and to file a Confidential
Financial Disclosure Report. Members
serve without compensation. However,
while away from their homes or regular
places of business in the performance of
services for the Board as approved by
the Designated Federal Officer, members
are allowed travel expenses, including
per diem in lieu of subsistence, in the
same manner as persons employed
intermittently in Government service
are allowed such expenses under 5
U.S.C. 5703.
Individuals who are federally
registered lobbyists are ineligible to
serve on all FACA and non-FACA
boards, committees, or councils in an

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,

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 BSEE; (2) Will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) Is the estimate
of burden accurate; (4) How might BSEE
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(5) How might BSEE minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal

While you can ask us in your comment

Abstract: The regulations under 30
CFR 250, Subpart J, pertain to pipelines
and pipeline rights-of-way (ROWs),
forms, and related Notices to Lessees
(NTLs) and Operators.
We use the information to ensure that
lessees and pipeline ROW holders
design the pipelines that they install,
maintain, and operate in a safe manner.
BSEE needs information concerning the
proposed pipeline and safety

equipment, inspections and tests, and
natural and manmade hazards near the
proposed pipeline route. BSEE uses the
information to review pipeline designs
prior to approving an application for a
ROW or lease term pipeline to ensure
that the pipeline, as constructed, will
provide for safe transportation of
minerals through the submerged lands
of the OCS. BSEE reviews proposed
pipeline routes to ensure that the
pipelines would not conflict with any
State requirements or unduly interfere
with other OCS activities. BSEE reviews
proposals for taking pipeline safety
equipment out of service to ensure
alternate measures are used that will
properly provide for the safety of the
pipeline and associated facilities
(platform, etc.). BSEE reviews
notifications of relinquishment of ROW
grants and requests to decommission
pipelines for regulatory compliance and
to ensure that all legal obligations are
met. BSEE monitors the records
concerning pipeline inspections and
tests to ensure safety of operations and
protection of the environment and to
schedule witnessing trips and
inspections. Information is also
necessary to determine the point at
which the DOI or Department of
Transportation (DOT) has regulatory
responsibility for a pipeline and to be
informed of the identified operator if
not the same as the pipeline ROW
holder.
We use the information in Form
BSEE–0149, Assignment of Federal OCS
Pipeline Right-of-Way Grant, to track
pipeline ROW holders; as well as use
this information to update the corporate
database that is used to determine what
leases are available for a Lease Sale and
the ownership of all OCS leases.
We are adding a new Form BSEE–
0135, Designation of Right-of-Way
Operator, to identify who has the
authority to act on the ROW grant
holder’s behalf to fulfill obligations
under the OCS Lands Act; as well as,
BSEE may provide to the designated
ROW operator written or oral
instructions in securing compliance
with the ROW grant in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 250,
subpart J, Pipelines and Pipeline Rightsof-Way (ROW).
OMB Control Number: 1014–0016.
