Respondents provide BSEE with
information that assists BSEE in determining whether the granting
of a royalty relief request will result in the ultimate production
of resources that would not be produced without relief. The
application must contain sufficient financial, economic, reservoir,
geologic and geophysical, production and engineering information to
determine whether the decision to grant relief will result in
ultimate increase in resource recovery, augment receipts to the
Federal Treasury, and provide for reasonable returns on project
investments.

The current OMB inventory for
this collection is 724 burden hours. In this submission, we are not
making any changes to the hour burden due to inactivity in the
program. The current OMB non-hour cost burden inventory is $27,950.
In this submission, we are not making any changes to the non-hour
cost burdens. There are currently no royalty relief applications in
the OCS and none planned in the near future. As there are no active
respondents, the non-hour cost burdens were estimated as once every
10 years.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies

1320.8(b)(3).
