a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY,
TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services.
Individuals outside the United States
should use the relay services offered
within their country to make
international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) and its
implementing regulations at 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general
public and other Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
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.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed information collection request
(ICR) that is described below. We are
especially interested in public
comments addressing the following
issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the Service; (2)
will this information be processed and
used in a timely manner; (3) is the
estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the Service enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (5) how might the
Service minimize the burden of this
collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The authority of the Service
to regulate non-Federal oil and gas
operations on National Wildlife Refuge
System (NWRS) lands is broadly
derived from the Property Clause of the
United States Constitution (Art. IV, Sec.
3), in carrying out the statutory
mandates of the Secretary of the

PO 00000

Frm 00085

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

Interior, as delegated to the Service, to
manage Federal lands and resources
under the National Wildlife Refuge
System Administration Act (NWRSAA),
as amended by the National Wildlife
Refuge System Improvement Act
(NWRSIA; 16 U.S.C. 668dd et seq.), and
to specifically manage species within
the NWRS under the provisions of
numerous statutes, the most notable of
which are the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 715 et seq.), the
Endangered Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.), and the Fish and Wildlife
Act of 1956 (FWA; 15 U.S.C. 742f).
The Service’s regulations at 50 CFR,
part 29, subpart D provide for the
continued exercise of non-Federal oil
and gas rights while avoiding or
minimizing unnecessary impacts to
national wildlife refuge resources and
uses. Other land management agencies
have regulations that address oil and gas
development, including the Department
of the Interior’s National Park Service
and Bureau of Land Management, and
the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
Forest Service. These agencies all
require the submission of information
similar to the information requested by
the Service.
The collection of information is
necessary for the Service to properly
balance the exercise of non-Federal oil
and gas rights within national wildlife
refuge boundaries with the Service’s
responsibility to protect wildlife and
habitat, water quality and quantity,
wildlife-dependent recreational
opportunities, and the health and safety
of employees and visitors on NWRS
lands.
The information collected under 50
CFR, part 29, subpart D identifies the
owner and operator (the owner and
operator can be the same) and details
how the operator may access and
develop oil and gas resources. It also
identifies the steps the operator intends
to take to minimize any adverse impacts
of operations on refuge resources and
uses. No information is submitted
unless the operator wishes to conduct
oil and gas operations.
We use the information collected to:
(1) Evaluate proposed operations; (2)
ensure that all necessary mitigation
measures are employed to protect
national wildlife refuge resources and
values; and (3) ensure compliance with
all applicable laws and regulations,
including the National Environmental
Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and
its regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–
1508), and the NWRSAA, as amended
by the NWRSIA, and to specifically
manage species within the NWRS under
the provisions of numerous statutes, the
most notable of which are the MBTA,

the ESA, the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.),
and the FWA.
Proposed Revisions
Automation of Application Form via
ePermits
With this submission, we are
proposing to automate FWS Form 3–
2469 in the Service’s ePermits system,
an automated permit application system
that allows the agency to move towards
a streamlined permitting process to
reduce public burden. Public burden
reduction is a priority for the Service;
the Assistant Secretary for Fish,
Wildlife, and Parks; and senior
leadership at the Department of the
Interior. The intent of ePermits is to
fully automate the permitting process to
improve the customer experience and to
reduce time burden on respondents.
This system enhances the user
experience by allowing users to enter
data from any device that has internet
access, including personal computers
(PCs), tablets, and smartphones. It also
provides the permit applicant with a
link to pay associated permit
application fees via the Pay.gov system.
Financial Assurances Costs
With this submission, we will seek
OMB approval of the costs associated
with the financial assurances
requirements as they are required per
regulations contained in 50 CFR

29.103(b) and 50 CFR 29.150. These
costs were inadvertently overlooked
with previous submissions for this
collection of information, so at this time
we are bringing this requirement into
compliance with the PRA as an annual
non-hour burden cost. The estimated
annual non-hour cost burden associated
with the required financial assurances is
captured below under ‘‘Total Estimated
Annual Non-Hour Burden Cost.’’
Proposed Changes to Application Form
(FWS Form 3–2469)
We propose several changes to the
existing FWS Form 3–2469 to improve
the user collection experience and our
internal processing requirements:
(1) Under the ‘‘Type of Permit’’ on
page 1, we are adding these categories:
a. ‘‘New’’—Used by operators
applying for a new permit to operate
where no existing Form 3–2469 permit
exists;
b. ‘‘Renewal’’—Used by operators
with a currently approved permit to
renew the operation without any
substantial changes;
c. ‘‘Amendment’’—Used by an
operator with an existing Form 3–2469
approved permit to amend their
operations; and,
d. ‘‘Extension’’—Used by an operator
with an existing Form 3–2469 approved
permit to request an extension to one of
its conditions (e.g., extend the shut-in
status of a well).

(2) Under the ‘‘Production
Operations’’ on page 1, we are adding
these sub-categories:
a. ‘‘Maintenance’’—Used for
maintenance actions (e.g., need to bring
in a workover rig);
b. ‘‘Plugging’’—Used with plugging
and abandoning of a well; and
c. ‘‘Reclamation’’—Used with all
activities remove contaminated soils,
equipment, pipe, etc., and restore the
site to its original contours and
vegetation.
(3) Under the ‘‘Contact Information’’
in Part 1 (on page 2), we propose to add
two new questions:
a. ‘‘Tax Identification Number’’; and
b. ‘‘Do you have operations on other
refuges? If so, provide the names of
those refuges.’’
Title of Collection: Non-Federal Oil
and Gas Operations on National
Wildlife Refuge System Lands, 50 CFR
29, Subpart D.
OMB Control Number: 1018–0162.
Form Number: FWS Form 3–2469.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Businesses that conduct oil and gas
exploration on national wildlife refuges.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour
Burden Cost: $1,100,000 (22 annual
responses x $50,000 each).
