down on the surety. ONRR will draw
down on a surety if the appellant fails
to comply with requirements relating to
the amount due, timeframe, or surety
submission or resubmission. Whenever
ONRR draws down on a surety, it
reduces the total amount due, which is
defined as the unpaid principal plus the
interest accrued to the projected receipt
date of the surety payment. Appellants
may refer to the Surety Instrument
Posting Instructions, available on our
website at http://www.onrr.gov/
compliance/appeals.htm.
(d) Forms and Other Surety Types: An
appellant may file the following forms
and surety types:
(1) Form ONRR–4435 Administrative
Appeal Bond—An appellant may file
form ONRR–4435, Administrative
Appeal Bond, which ONRR uses to
secure the financial interests of the
public and Indian lessors during the
entire administrative and judicial
appeal processes. Under 30 CFR 1243.4,
an appellant is required to submit its
contact and surety amount information
on the bond to obtain the benefit of
suspension of an obligation to comply
with an order. The bond must be issued
by a qualified surety company that the
U.S. Department of the Treasury
approves (see Department of the
Treasury Circular No. 570, revised
periodically in the Federal Register).
ONRR’s Director, or the delegated bondapproving officer, maintains the bonds
in a secure facility. After an appeal’s
conclusion, ONRR may release and
return the bond to the appellant or
collect payment on the bond. If
collection is necessary for a remaining
balance, ONRR will issue a demand for
payment to the surety company with a
notice to the appellant. ONRR will also
include all interest accrued on the
affected receivable.
(2) Form ONRR–4436 Letter of
Credit—An appellant may choose to file
form ONRR–4436, Letter of Credit, with
no modifications. Requirements under
30 CFR 1243.4 continue to apply.
ONRR’s Director, or the delegated bondapproving officer, maintains the Letter
of Credit (LOC) in a secure facility. The
appellant is responsible for verifying
that the bank provides a current Fitch
rating to ONRR. After the appeal’s
conclusion, ONRR may release and
return the LOC to the appellant or
collect payment on the LOC. If
collection is necessary for a remaining
balance, ONRR will issue a demand for
payment that includes the principal
amount, plus the interest assessed on
the receivable, to the bank with a notice
to the appellant.
(3) Form ONRR–4437 Assignment of
Certificate of Deposit—An appellant

Jkt 250001

may choose to secure a debt by
requesting to use a Certificate of Deposit
(CD) from a bank with the required
minimum rating and submitting form
ONRR–4437, Assignment of Certificate
of Deposit. Requirements under 30 CFR
1243.4 continue to apply. The appellant
must file the request with ONRR prior
to the invoice due date. ONRR will
accept a book-entry CD that explicitly
assigns the CD to ONRR’s Director. If
collection of the CD is necessary for an
unpaid balance, ONRR will return
unused CD funds to the appellant after
total settlement of the appealed issues,
including applicable interest charges.
(4) Self-bonding—For Federal oil and
gas leases, regulations under 30 CFR
1243.201 provide that no surety
instrument is required when a person
representing the appellant periodically
demonstrates, to ONRR’s satisfaction,
that the guarantor or appellant is
financially solvent or otherwise able to
pay the obligation. The appellant must
submit a written request to ‘‘self-bond’’
every time a new appeal is filed. To
evaluate the financial solvency and
exemption from requirements of an
appellant to maintain a surety related to
an appeal, ONRR requires the appellant
to submit a consolidated balance sheet,
subject to annual audit. In some cases,
ONRR also requires copies of the most
recent tax returns (up to three years)
filed by the appellant.
In addition, an appellant must
annually submit financial statements,
subject to annual audit, to support its
net worth. ONRR uses the consolidated
balance sheet or business information
supplied to evaluate the financial
solvency of a lessee, designee, or payor
seeking a stay of payment obligation
pending review. If the appellant does
not have a consolidated balance sheet
documenting its net worth, or if it does
not meet the $300 million net worth
requirement, ONRR selects a business
information or credit reporting service
to provide information concerning the
appellant’s financial solvency. ONRR
charges the appellant a $50 fee each
time it reviews data from a business
information or credit reporting service.
The fee covers ONRR’s cost to
determine an appellant’s financial
solvency.
(5) U.S. Treasury Securities—An
appellant may choose to secure its debts
by requesting to use a U.S. Treasury
Security (TS). The appellant must file
the letter of request with ONRR prior to
the invoice due date. The TS must be a
U.S. Treasury note or bond with
maturity equal to or greater than one
year. The TS must equal 120 percent of
the appealed amount plus 1 year of
estimated interest (necessary to protect

ONRR against interest rate fluctuations).
ONRR only accepts book-entry TS.
Title of Collection: Suspensions
Pending Appeal and Bonding.
OMB Control Number: 1012–0006.
Form Number: Forms ONRR–4435,
ONRR–4436, and ONRR–4437.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Businesses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 105 Federal or Indian
appellants.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 105.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 2 hours.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 210.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Frequency of Collection: Annual and
on occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: There are no additional
recordkeeping costs associated with this
information collection. However, ONRR
estimates 5 appellants per year will pay
a $50 fee to obtain credit data from a
business information or credit reporting
service, which is a total ‘‘non-hour’’ cost
burden of $250 per year (5 appellants
per year × $50 = $250).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, BOEM provides
the general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps BOEM assess
the impact of our information collection
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.
BOEM is soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR described below. BOEM is
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following issues: (1) Is
the collection necessary to the proper
functions of BOEM; (2) what can BOEM
do to ensure that this information is
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the burden estimate 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 submitted in response to
this notice are a matter of public record.
BOEM will include or summarize each
comment in our request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval of this ICR. You should be

publicly available at any time. In order
for BOEM to withhold from disclosure
your personally identifiable
information, you must identify any
information contained in the submittal
of your comments that, if released,
would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of your personal privacy. You
must also briefly describe any possible
harmful consequences of the disclosure
of information, such as embarrassment,
injury, or other harm. While you can ask
us in your comment to withhold your
personally identifiable information from
public review, we cannot guarantee that
we will be able to do so.
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).
Abstract: 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.
The OCS Lands Act, 43 U.S.C. 1331
et seq. as amended, authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to prescribe
rules and regulations to administer
leasing of mineral resources on the OCS.
Section 1337(k)(1) authorizes the
Secretary ‘‘. . . to grant to the qualified
persons offering the highest cash
bonuses on a basis of competitive
bidding leases of any mineral other than
oil, gas, and sulphur in any area of the
[O]uter Continental Shelf not then
under lease for such mineral upon such
royalty, rental, and other terms and
conditions as the Secretary may
prescribe at the time of offering the area
for lease.’’ An amendment to the OCS
Lands Act authorizes the Secretary to
negotiate agreements (in lieu of the
previously required competitive bidding
process) for the use of OCS sand, gravel,
and shell resources for certain specified
types of public uses. The specified uses
will support construction of
governmental projects for beach
nourishment, shore protection, and

PO 00000

Frm 00084

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

wetlands enhancement, or any such
project authorized by the Federal
Government.
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.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 583,
Negotiated Noncompetitive Agreement
for the Use of Sand, Gravel and Shell
Resources on the Outer Continental
Shelf.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0191.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Renewal with
revisions of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Potential respondents include Federal,
State, or local governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 45 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 299 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
retain or obtain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour
Burden Cost: We have identified no
non-hour paperwork cost burdens for
this collection.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: 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
583, 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.
