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 its information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand BOEM’s 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
comments 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 its request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval of this ICR. You should be
aware that your entire comment—
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personally
identifiable information included in
your comment—may be made publicly
available. In order to inform BOEM to
withhold from disclosure your
personally identifiable information, you
must identify any information contained
in your comment that, if released,
would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of your personal privacy. You
also must briefly describe any possible
harmful consequences of disclosure of
that information, such as
embarrassment, injury, or other harm.
While you can ask in your comment that
your personally identifiable information
be withheld from public disclosure,
BOEM cannot guarantee that it 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).
Title of Collection: Evaluating
Connections: BOEM’s Environmental
Studies and Assessments.
Abstract: Section 20 of the Outer
Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA)
(43 U.S.C. 1346) requires the Secretary
of the Interior to study any area or

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001

region included in an oil, gas, or other
lease sale to gather information needed
for assessment and management of
impacts on the human, marine, and
coastal environments of the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) and the affected
coastal areas. Additionally, subsequent
to the leasing and developing of any
OCS area, the Secretary may authorize
further environmental studies to gather
information that can be used for
identifying significant changes and
trends in the quality and productivity of
such environments and for designing
experiments to identify the causes of
such changes.
This statutory authority is carried out
through BOEM’s Environmental Studies
Program (ESP). In fulfilling its mission,
BOEM must comply with a range of
environmental laws and regulations. To
comply with relevant statutes and
policies, BOEM develops environmental
assessments, including National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
analyses, consultation documents, and
other analyses that require up-to-date
and relevant scientific information. For
purposes of this notice, the term
‘‘environmental assessment’’
encompasses the types of analyses that
BOEM’s Environmental Assessment
Program undertakes and is not restricted
to NEPA environmental assessments.
For example, the following types of
documents are considered in the
universe of BOEM environmental
assessments:
• NEPA environmental impact
statements.
• NEPA environmental assessments.
• National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA) documents (including section
106 evaluations of effects on historic
properties and programmatic
agreements).
• Essential fish habitat assessments
for Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
consultations.
• Endangered Species Act (ESA)
section 7 biological evaluations or
biological assessments.
• Analyses and assessments prepared
to comply with the Clean Air Act
(CAA), Coastal Zone Management Act
(CZMA), and Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA).
• Analyses and assessments such as
engineering analyses, regulatory impact
analyses, resource evaluations,
additional NEPA-related analyses, site
assessments, and cost-benefit analyses
prepared for OCSLA and other
regulatory requirements.
Environmental studies sponsored by
the ESP provide scientific information
to inform BOEM’s environmental
assessments. BOEM describes the

PO 00000

Frm 00069

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

process by which environmental studies
inform environmental assessments and
environmental assessments inform
environmental studies as a ‘‘feedback
loop.’’ To determine how well this
feedback loop is functioning and to
identify potential improvements in the
science-to-policy process, BOEM is
pursuing an evaluation of the linkages
between the scientific research it is
funding and the information needs
within its assessments. The evaluation
will include surveys and interviews of
BOEM ESP and assessment program
partners (e.g., Federal and State
agencies, academic institutions and
scholars, tribes, and consultants).
The goal of the external survey will be
to conduct a network analysis focusing
on information exchange between
BOEM ESP and assessment programs
and their external program partners. The
survey results will be used to
understand how program partners use
BOEM’s study and assessment
information and the network through
which this information is disseminated.
The survey results will inform an
analysis that can be used to understand
the network structure, possible network
influence on outcomes, and people or
organizations that could be targeted or
connected to achieve better expected
outcomes.
The survey will be administered
online. The survey will be sent to all
program partners that BOEM
environmental studies and assessment
staff indicate they communicate with
about environmental study and
assessment topics. Following a brief
email introduction, each survey
respondent will receive a unique
weblink to complete the online survey.
The survey questions will ask
respondents: (1) From whom they
receive and with whom they share
BOEM environmental study and
assessment information, and (2) how
they use that environmental information
for their organization’s work. The
survey will include 10 to 12 mostly
discrete-choice questions and will take
up to 20 minutes to complete.
Descriptive statistics will be calculated
at the organizational level, and results
will be presented in a tabular format
and network graphs.
All agencies, organizations, and
institutions that BOEM identifies as
important for understanding the
feedback loop will be contacted for an
interview. Interviews will be semistructured. Respondents will be asked
questions tailored to their type of
organization. Interviewers will ask
respondents to provide insight into how
and why linkages between BOEM and
respondents are (or are not) present, and

how and why respondents are or are not
using study and assessment information
from BOEM. As a semi-structured
interview, the interviewer will have the
opportunity to ask follow-up questions
based on initial responses. The
interviewers will ask about the
respondents’ roles or positions within
their organizations, how they use
BOEM’s environmental studies and
assessment information in their
organizations’ work, and how their
organizations contribute to studies and
assessments. Additionally, the
interviewers will request
recommendations on ways to strengthen
linkages moving forward. The responses
will be analyzed using qualitative
coding analysis.
This information is not otherwise
available and will help inform agency
efforts to improve the feedback loop
process and ultimately better inform
agency decisions.
