Jkt 259001

Federal agencies 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 especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How the agency might minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
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 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: This OMB control number
applies to the exploration, development,
and utilization of oil shale resources on
the BLM-managed public lands.
Currently, the only oil shale leases
issued by the BLM are research,
development, and demonstration
(RD&D) leases. However, the BLM
regulations provide a framework for
commercial oil shale leasing and
additionally include provisions for
conversion of RD&D leases to
commercial leases. Section 369 of the
Energy Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 15927)
addresses oil shale development and
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to establish regulations for a commercial
leasing program for oil shale. The
Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C.

PO 00000

Frm 00069

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

241(a)) provides the authority for the
BLM to allow for the exploration,
development, and utilization of oil shale
resources on the BLM-managed public
lands. Additional statutory authorities
for the oil shale program are: (1) The
Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands
of 1947 (30 U.S.C. 351–359); and (2) The
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act (FLPMA) of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et
seq., including 43 U.S.C. 1732). OMB
Control Number 1004–0201 is currently
scheduled to expire on June 30, 2024.
The BLM plans to request that OMB
renew this OMB control number for an
additional three (3) years.
