requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
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
comments 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
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 regulations at 30 CFR
part 203, concern relief or reduction in
royalty rates and are the subject of this
collection. This request also covers any
related Notices to Lessees and Operators
(NTLs) that BSEE issues to clarify,
supplement, or provide additional
guidance on some aspects of our
regulations.
The BSEE uses the information to
make decisions on the economic
viability of leases requesting a
suspension or elimination of royalty or
net profit share. These decisions have
enormous monetary impact on both the
lessee and the Federal Government.
Royalty relief can lead to increased
production of natural gas and oil,
creating profits for lessees, and royalty
and tax revenues for the Federal
Government that they might not
otherwise receive. We could not make
an informed decision without the
collection of information required by 30
CFR part 203.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 203,
Relief or Reduction in Royalty Rates.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0005.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

Background: In his request letter
(received April 6, 2018), the USTR
stated that U.S. negotiators have
recently reached an agreement in
principle with representatives of the
government of Korea on modifications
to the FTA regarding the staging of duty
treatment for certain motor vehicles.
The USTR noted that section 201(b)(2)
of the United States—Korea Free Trade
Agreement Implementation Act (the
Act) authorizes the President, subject to
the consultation and layover
requirements of section 104 of the Act,
to proclaim such tariff modifications as
the President determines to be necessary
or appropriate to maintain the general
level of reciprocal and mutually
advantageous concessions with respect
to Korea provided for by the FTA. He
noted that one of the requirements set
out in section 104 of the Act is that the
President obtain advice regarding the
proposed action from the U.S.
International Trade Commission.
In the request letter, the USTR asked
that the Commission provide advice on
the probable economic effect of the
modifications on U.S. trade under the
FTA and on domestic producers of the
affected articles. He asked that the
Commission provide its advice at the
earliest possible date but no later than
eight weeks from receipt of the request.
He also asked that the Commission
issue, as soon as possible thereafter, a
public version of its report with any
confidential business information
deleted.
The products identified in the
proposal are motor vehicles for the
transport of goods provided for in
subheadings 8704.21.00, 8704.22.50,
8704.23.00, 8704.31.00, 8704.32.00, and
8704.90.00 of the U.S. Harmonized
Tariff Schedule. The request letter and
the proposed modification are available
on the Commission’s website at http://
www.usitc.gov/research_and_analysis/
what_we_are_working_on.htm. As
requested, the Commission will provide
its advice to USTR by June 1, 2018.
Written Submissions: No public
hearing is planned. However, interested
parties are invited to file written
submissions. All written submissions
should be addressed to the Secretary,
and should be received no later than
