Under the authority delegated by the
Secretary of the Interior, BOEM is authorized, pursuant to section
1337(k)(2) of the OCS Lands Act, to convey rights to OCS sand,
gravel, and shell resources by negotiated noncompetitive agreement
for use in shore protection and beach and coastal restoration, or
for use in construction projects funded in whole or part by or
authorized by the Federal Government. In 2017, BOEM published a
final rule that created part 583 in Title 30 of the Code of Federal
Regulations to address the use of Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
sand, gravel and shell resources for shore protection, beach
restoration, or coastal wetlands restoration projects by Federal,
State or local government agencies, or for use in construction
projects authorized by or funded in whole or in part by the Federal
Government. This information collection relates to the requirements
for negotiated noncompetitive agreements for use of OCS sand,
gravel, and shell resources to support construction of governmental
project for beach nourishment, shore protection, and wetland
enhancement, or any such project authorized by the federal
government.

The currently approved burden
for this collection is 243 burden hours, and no non-hour cost
burdens. We estimate that the annual reporting burden for this
collection is 299, which would be an increase of 56 annual burden
hours from the OMB-approved burden hours. This increase is due to
changes in estimated hour burdens and number of responses related
to 30 CFR, subpart C, since the publication of the regulations in
2017. The hour burden estimates would be revised to more accurately
update the number of state and local governments requesting
negotiated noncompetitive agreements from BOEM. In addition, BOEM
has reviewed the hour burdens for requested information under this
subpart, and the increase would better reflect hours it takes for
respondent to collect and submit the information.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
