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.

43 USC 1331-1356

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 and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
