Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 79 / Tuesday, April 24, 2018 / Notices

period ended March 27, 2018. The BLM
received no comments. 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 the BLM; (2) will this
information be processed and used in a
timely manner; (3) is the estimate of
burden accurate; (4) how might the BLM
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(5) how might the BLM 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. 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: 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: Extension 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
