Alternatives: In addition to the
Proposed Action Alternative, which
would implement the Proposed Action,
DHS considered a No Action
Alternative. Under the No Action
Alternative, DHS would analyze the
environmental effects associated with
not resuming the MPP program as
directed by E.O. 14165. It should be
noted that DHS would still employ
other methods to enforce immigration
laws, which may include applicable
emergency authorizations, in support of
its national security mission.
Draft Finding of No Significant
Impact: The evaluation performed
within this Draft PEA concludes that no
significant adverse impact to the
environment or human quality of life is
anticipated as a result of implementing
the Proposed Action, provided that
routine BMPs specified in the Draft PEA
are implemented.
Request for Public Review: Federal
agencies; Tribal, state, and local
governments; the public; and other
interested parties are requested to
comment on the Draft PEA, which will
be available for a 30-day public
comment period from May 27, 2025.
Comments may be provided via
electronic mail to the contact identified
above, with subject header: ‘‘MPP PEA’’
or via the Regulations.gov web portal. A
mailing address to submit hardcopy
comments can be provided upon
request.
Availability of the Draft PEA: The
Draft PEA and Draft FONSI are available
on DHS’s website at: https://
www.dhs.gov/sep/ephp/nepa.

Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCS
Lands Act) (43 U.S.C. 1352(c)).
Title of Collection: ‘‘30 CFR part 585,
Renewable Energy on the Outer
Continental Shelf and 586, Alternate
Uses of Existing Facilities on the Outer
Continental Shelf.’’
Abstract: The ICR addresses the
paperwork requirements in the
regulations under 30 CFR parts 585 and
586 issued pursuant to the OCS Lands
Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1331 et
seq.). The OCS Lands Act at subsection
8(p) (43 U.S.C. 1337(p)) authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to issue leases,
easements, or rights-of-way on the OCS
for activities that produce or support
production, transportation, or
transmission of energy from sources
other than oil and gas, including
renewable energy. Subsection 8(p)
directs the Secretary to issue any
necessary regulations to carry out the
OCS renewable energy program. The
Secretary delegated this authority to
BOEM. BOEM issued regulations for
OCS renewable energy activities at 30
CFR parts 585 and 586; this notice
concerns the reporting and
recordkeeping elements required by
these regulations.
Respondents are parties interested in
obtaining a lease or grant for renewable
energy activities on the OCS; lessees
and grantees submitting plans for
commercial and noncommercial
renewable energy projects on the OCS,
and, if such plans are approved,
constructing, operating, maintaining,
and decommissioning those projects;
and applicants for, or holders of, rightsof-use and easement for alternate uses of
existing facilities on the OCS. BOEM
must ensure that these activities are
carried out in a manner that provides
for, among other things, safety,
protection of the environment, and
consideration of other OCS users. In
order to execute its duties, BOEM
requires information regarding potential
purchasers of leases, grants, and rightsof-way; their proposed activities; their
financial assurance instruments to
ensure accrued obligations are met; and
their payments to the U.S. Treasury.
BOEM uses forms to collect
information to ensure proper and
efficient administration of OCS
renewable energy leases and grants and
to document the financial responsibility
of lessees and grantees. Forms BOEM–
0002, BOEM–0003, BOEM–0004, and
BOEM–0006 are used, respectively, by
renewable energy entities on the OCS to

Jkt 265001

assign a grant interest, assign a lease
interest, relinquish a lease or grant, and
designate an operator. Form BOEM–
0005 is used to document a surety’s
guarantee of lessees’ and grantees’
performance. BOEM maintains the
submitted forms as official lease and
grant records.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0176.
Form Number:
• BOEM–0002, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy
Assignment of Grant;’’
• BOEM–0003, ‘‘Assignment of
Record Title Interest in Federal OCS
Renewable Energy Lease;’’
• BOEM–0004, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy Lease or
Grant Relinquishment Application;’’
• BOEM–0005, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy Lessee’s,
Grantee’s, and Operator’s Bond;’’ and
• BOEM–0006, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy Lease or
Grant Designation of Operator.’’
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Companies interested in renewable
energy-related uses on the OCS and
holders of leases and grants under 30
CFR parts 585 and 586.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 485 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 44,178 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory
or required to retain or obtain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
or annually.
Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour
Burden Cost: $2,754,000 non-hour cost
burden.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
collection is 44,178 hours, 485
responses and $2,754,000 non-hour cost
burdens. The existing approval is 9,876
annual burden hours, 200 annual
responses, and $1,908,000 non-hour
cost burdens.
BOEM is updating the overall burden
numbers for this OMB control number
to align with the recent increase in
development activity and to reflect more
realistically the manner by which
conditional approvals have been used to
increase the number and scope of
compliance requirements compared to
previous estimates. BOEM sets
conditions of approval for activities on
the OCS to ensure compliance with
regulations and project-specific

PO 00000

Frm 00080

Fmt 4703

17443

requirements. BOEM has several
projects under current leases that
recently entered the planning phase,
and therefore, these annual burden
hours were not counted in the last ICR
renewal. BOEM is increasing the annual
burden hours to reflect the increase
related to the terms and conditions of
approval of these projects. The
adjustments to the numbers in the
burden table for this revision are
estimates based on BOEM’s knowledge
and expertise of the industry and
requirements associated with offshore
wind projects.
BOEM is also rolling the annual
burdens under OMB control number
1010–0195 into this revision of 1010–
0176. In 2024, BOEM had two
rulemakings tied to 30 CFR 585 and 586.
In order to account for the PRA work
and for OMB to track the collections of
information, BOEM used two OMB
control numbers, 1010–0176 and 1010–
0195. With the completion of these
rulemakings, this revision of OMB
control number 1010–0176 will bring all
the information collection burdens
under one control number, and BOEM
will discontinue 1010–0195.
Overall, this ICR increases annual
burdens by 34,302 hours to a new total
of 44,178 hours. This ICR increases
responses by 285 responses to a new
total of 485 and increases the non-hour
cost burdens by $846,000 to a new total
of $2,754,000.
On January 20, 2025, the Presidential
memorandum, Temporary Withdrawal
of All Ares on the Outer Continental
Shelf from Offshore Wind Leasing and
Review of the Federal Government’s
Leasing and Permitting Practices for
Wind Projects, was issued. With the
hold on wind leasing, BOEM will likely
see a decrease in annual burden hours
on future renewals of OMB control
number 1010–0176, but for this ICR we
are continuing to account of the leases
moving through the approval process.
The following table details the
individual components and estimated
hour burdens. In calculating the
burdens, BOEM recognized that some of
its required information collections are
incurred by respondents in the normal
course of their activities, like compiling
and maintaining business records.
BOEM considers some information
collection activities to be usual and
customary business practices and
excluded those activities from its
account in estimating the burden.

39, 41, 43, 44, 47, 49, 51–54, 58–60, and
62–65 of the ’808 patent and claims 1–
8, 10, 12, and 16–22 of the ’134 patent.
See Order No. 20 (Feb. 2, 2024),
unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Feb. 15,
2024); Order No. 44 (June 11, 2024),
unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (July 3,
2024); Order No. 52 (July 10, 2024),
unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Aug. 5,

On January 29, 2025, the ALJ issued
the Final ID finding a violation of
section 337 by Amazon with respect to
the ’808 patent, and no violation with
respect to the ’134 patent. The ALJ also
issued a recommended determination
on the public interest, remedy, and
bond.
On February 10, 2025, each party filed
a petition for review. On February 18,
2025, Nokia and Amazon filed
responses opposing each other’s
petitions. That same day, OUII filed a
combined opposition to Nokia’s and
Amazon’s petitions; neither Amazon nor
Nokia responded to OUII’s petition.
On April 1, 2025, Nokia and Amazon
filed a Joint Unopposed Motion for
Temporary Suspension of Pending
Deadlines. The motion stated that Nokia
and Amazon had signed a settlement
agreement resolving all issues between
the parties related to this litigation but
needed additional time to finalize and
file termination papers, including
creating a public version of the
settlement agreement as required by 19
CFR 210.21(b)(1). The parties requested
that the Commission temporarily
suspend the pending deadlines in the
investigation until and through April 8,
2025. The Commission granted the
motion, stayed the investigation, and
extended the target date for determining
whether to review the Final ID to April
22, 2025.
On April 8, 2025, Nokia and Amazon
filed a Joint Motion to Terminate the
Investigation in Its Entirety Based on
