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
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

Abstract: This collection of
information enables the BLM to process
assignments of record title interest and
transfers of operating rights in a lease
for oil and gas or geothermal resources.
Each assignment or transfer is a contract
between private parties but, by law,
must be approved by the Secretary. The
BLM uses information about
assignments and transfers to prevent
unlawful extraction of mineral
resources, to ensure prompt payment of
rentals and royalties for the rights
obtained under a Federal lease, and to
ensure that leases are not encumbered
with agreements that cause the minerals
to be uneconomical to produce,
resulting in lost revenues to the Federal
Government. The information also
enables the BLM to ensure the assignee
or transferee is in compliance with the
bonding requirements, when necessary,
before approval of the transfer or
assignment.
Title of Collection: Oil, Gas, and
Geothermal Resources: Transfers and
Assignments.
OMB Control Number: 1004–0034.
Form Numbers: 3000–3 and 3000–3a.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Assignors and assignees of record title
interest in a lease for oil and gas or
geothermal resources; and transferors
and transferees of operating rights
(sublease) in a lease for oil and gas or
geothermal resources.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 17,626.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 17,626.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 30 minutes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 8,813.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $1,674,470.
