agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,

public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are 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, including
minimizing the burden 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 Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for approval of 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 comments

Abstract: The information collection
request concerns the paperwork
requirements in the regulations under
30 CFR part 585, Renewable Energy and
Alternate Uses of Existing Facilities on
the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
issued pursuant to the OCS Lands Act,
as amended (43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq. and
43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). The OCS Lands
Act at subsection 8(p) (43 U.S.C.
1337(p)) authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior to issue leases, easements, or
rights-of way on the OCS for activities
that produce or support production,
transportation, or transmission of energy
from sources other than oil and gas,
including renewable energy. Subsection
8(p) directs the Secretary of the Interior
to issue any necessary regulations to
carry out the OCS renewable energy
program. The Secretary delegated this
authority to BOEM. BOEM has issued
regulations for OCS renewable energy
activities at 30 CFR part 585; this notice
concerns the reporting and
PO 00000
Frm 00096

recordkeeping elements required by
these regulations.
Respondents are lessees and grantees
submitting plans for—and, if such plans
are approved, constructing, operating,
maintaining, and decommissioning—
commercial and noncommercial
renewable energy projects on the OCS.
BOEM must ensure that these activities
are carried out in a manner that
provides for, among other things, safety,
protection of the environment, and
consideration of other users of the OCS.
In order to execute its duties, BOEM
requires information regarding potential
purchasers of leases, grants, and rightsof-way, their proposed activities and
their payments to the Treasury and
financial assurance.
BOEM uses forms to collect some
information to ensure proper and
efficient administration of OCS
renewable energy leases and grants and
to document the financial responsibility
of lessees and grantees. Forms BOEM–
0002, BOEM–0003, BOEM–0004, and
BOEM–0006 are used by renewable
energy entities on the OCS to assign a
lease interest, designate an operator, and
to assign or relinquish a lease or grant.
Form BOEM–0005 was designed to
document a surety’s guarantee of the
performance of lessees and grantees
with respect to bonds issued on behalf
of OCS renewable energy lessees,
grantees, and operators. BOEM
maintains the submitted forms as
official lease and grant records
pertaining to operating responsibilities,
ownership, and financial responsibility.
BOEM protects proprietary
information in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and the Department of the
Interior’s implementing regulations (43
CFR part 2), and under regulations at 30
CFR 585.113, addressing disclosure of
data and information to be made
available to the public and others.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR 585,
Renewable Energy and Alternate Uses of
Existing Facilities on the Outer
Continental Shelf.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0176.
Form Number:
• BOEM–0002, Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy

• BOEM–0006, Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy Lease or
Grant Designation of Operator.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Companies interested in renewable
energy-related uses on the OCS and
holders of leases and grants under 30
CFR part 585.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 267 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 18,784 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory
or Required to Obtain or Retain a
Benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
or annually.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour
Burden Cost: $3,816,000 non-hour costs.
The non-hour cost burdens consist of
service fees for BOEM document/study
preparation, costs for paying a
contractor instead of BOEM, and costs
for a site-specific study and report to
evaluate the cause of harm to natural
resources.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
collection is 18,784 hours. The
following table details the individual
components and estimated hour
burdens. In calculating the burdens, we
assumed that respondents perform
certain requirements in the normal
course of their activities. We consider
some information collection activities to
be usual and customary and took that
into account in estimating the burden.
The following table details the
individual BOEM components and
respective burden hours of this ICR. In
calculating the burden hours, we
assumed that respondents perform
certain usual and customary
requirements in the normal course of
their activities.

below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of
Reclamation; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might Reclamation enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might Reclamation minimize the burden
of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of
information technology.
