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 ICR to OMB for approval
of this information collection. You
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your address,

entirety (except proprietary information)
submitted by organizations and
businesses, or by individuals identifying
themselves as representatives of
organizations or businesses. BOEM
protects proprietary information in
accordance with FOIA and the DOI’s
implementing regulations.
For BOEM to consider withholding
from disclosure your personally
identifiable information, you must
identify, in a cover letter, any
information contained in your comment
that, if released, would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of your
privacy. You must also briefly describe
any possible harmful consequences of
the disclosure of information, such as
embarrassment, injury, or other harm.
Even if BOEM withholds your
personally identifiable information in
the context of this ICR, your comment
is subject to the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552). If your
comment is requested under FOIA, your
information will only be withheld if a
determination is made that one of the
FOIA exemptions to disclosure applies.
Such a determination will be made in
accordance with the DOI’s FOIA
implementing regulations (43 CFR part
2) and applicable law.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 551,
‘‘Geological and Geophysical (G&G)
Explorations of the Outer Continental
Shelf.’’
Abstract: This ICR concerns the
paperwork requirement in the
regulations in 30 CFR part 551. This
request also covers Form BOEM–0327,
‘‘Requirements for Geological and
Geophysical Explorations or Scientific
Research on the Outer Continental
Shelf.’’
Section 11(g) of the Outer Continental
Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), as amended
(43 U.S.C. 1340(g)), authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to prescribe
rules and regulations to govern the
issuance of permits for G&G exploration
on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).
The OCSLA states that ‘‘any person
authorized by the Secretary may

conduct geological and geophysical
explorations in the OCS, which do not
interfere with or endanger actual
operations under any lease maintained
or granted pursuant to this subchapter,
and which are not unduly harmful to
aquatic life in such area.’’ It further
provides that permits to conduct such
activities may only be issued if it is
determined that the applicant is
qualified; the activities will not interfere
with or endanger operations under any
lease issued or maintained pursuant to
OCSLA; and the activities will not be
unduly harmful to aquatic life, result in
pollution, create hazardous or unsafe
conditions, unreasonably interfere with
other uses of the area, or disturb any
site, structure, or object of historical or
archaeological significance.
Applicants for permits are required to
submit Form BOEM–0327 to provide the
information necessary to evaluate their
qualifications. Upon BOEM approval of
the application, respondents are issued
a permit using Form BOEM–0328,
‘‘Permit for Geophysical Exploration for
Mineral Resources or Scientific
Research on the Outer Continental
Shelf,’’ for conducting geophysical
exploration for mineral resources or
scientific research, or Form BOEM–
0329, ‘‘Permit for Geological
Exploration for Mineral Resources or
Scientific Research on the Outer
Continental Shelf,’’ for conducting
geological exploration for mineral
resources or scientific research. These
permits are filled in by BOEM and do
not incur a respondent hour burden.
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and OMB Circular A–25
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. All G&G permits are
subject to cost recovery, and BOEM
regulations specify service fees for these
requests.
Requirements for G&G Exploration or
Scientific Research on the OCS are

45445

contained in 30 CFR part 551 and are
the subject of this information collection
renewal. BOEM is also renewing Form
BOEM–0327. This form outlines the
requirements for G&G activities
requiring permits and notices and
contains the application that the
respondent submits to BOEM for
approval as well as a nonexclusive use
agreement for scientific research, if
applicable.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0048.
Form Number: BOEM–0327,
‘‘Requirements for Geological and
Geophysical Explorations or Scientific
Research on the Outer Continental
Shelf.’’
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Potential respondents comprise Federal
OCS oil, gas, and sulfur permittees or
notice filers.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 578 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 21,454 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion,
annual, or as specified in permit.
Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour
Burden Cost: $116,696.
The currently approved OMB
paperwork burden is 35,254 annual
burden hours, 688 annual responses,
and the non-hour cost burden totals
$136,816. Due to a reduction in the
number of annual responses to 578, the
annual burden for this renewal is
adjusted to 21,454 hours and the nonhour cost burden is adjusted to
$116,696. The following table details
the regulatory sections containing
information collections and their
respective hour burden estimates. In
calculating the burdens, we assumed
that respondents perform certain
requirements in the normal course of
their activities. We consider these to be
usual and customary and took that into
account in estimating the burden.

permits under part 551 have not been issued in the Atlantic or Pacific since 2019 and 2006, respectively, however both regions currently have a
