stations and land borders. The DHS
TRIP office is managed by TSA on
behalf of DHS. In order for individuals
to request redress, they are asked to
provide identifying information as well
as details of their travel experience.
The Traveler Inquiry Form (TIF) is an
online form that is used to collect
requests for redress by the DHS TRIP
office, which serves as a centralized
intake office for traveler requests to have
their personal information reviewed.
DHS TRIP then passes the information
to the relevant DHS component to
process the request, as appropriate (e.g.,
DHS TRIP passes the form to the
appropriate DHS office to initiate the
Watch List Clearance Procedure). This
collection serves to distinguish
misidentified individuals from an actual
individual on any watch list used by
DHS, and this program helps streamline
and expedite future check-in or border
crossing experiences.
DHS estimates completing the form,
and gathering and submitting the
information will take approximately one
hour. The annual respondent
population was derived from data
compiled across all participating
components (Transportation Security
Administration (TSA), U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP), U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services
(CIS), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Visitor and
Immigration Status Indicator
Technology (US–VISIT), DHS Office of
Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL),
DHS Privacy Office, along with the U.S.
Department of State, Bureau of Consular
Affairs (DoS)). Thus, the total estimated
annual number of burden hours for
passengers seeking redress, based on an
estimated 32,495 annual respondents, is
32,495 hours (32,495 × 1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 250, subpart L, Oil and
Gas Production Measurement.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0051.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) to prescribe rules and
regulations to administer leasing of the
OCS. Such rules and regulations will
apply to all operations conducted under
a lease. Operations on the OCS must
preserve, protect, and develop oil and
natural gas resources in a manner that
is consistent with the need to make such
resources available to meet the Nation’s
energy needs as rapidly as possible; to
balance orderly energy resource
development with protection of human,
marine, and coastal environments; to
ensure the public a fair and equitable

return on the resources of the OCS; and
to preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition. The Federal Oil and Gas
Royalty Management Act of 1982 (30
U.S.C. 1701, et seq.) at section
1712(b)(2) prescribes that an operator
will ‘‘develop and comply with such
minimum site security measures as the
Secretary deems appropriate, to protect
oil or gas produced or stored on a lease
site or on the Outer Continental Shelf
from theft.’’ Regulations at 30 CFR part
250, subpart L, implement these
statutory requirements. We use the
information to ensure that the volumes
of hydrocarbons produced are measured
accurately, and royalties are paid on the
proper volumes. Specifically, MMS
needs the information to:
• Determine if measurement
equipment is properly installed,
provides accurate measurement of
production on which royalty is due, and
is operating properly;

• Obtain rates of production data in
allocating the volumes of production
measured at royalty sales meters, which
can be examined during field
inspections;
• Ascertain if all removals of oil and
condensate from the lease are reported;
• Determine the amount of oil that
was shipped when measurements are
taken by gauging the tanks rather than
being measured by a meter;
• Ensure that the sales location is
secure and production cannot be
removed without the volumes being
recorded; and
• Review proving reports to verify
that data on run tickets are calculated
and reported accurately.
The MMS will protect information
from respondents considered
proprietary under the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its
implementing regulations (43 CFR part
2) and under regulations at 30 CFR

250.197, Data and information to be
made available to the public or for
limited inspection, and 30 CFR part 252,
OCS Oil and Gas Information Program.
No items of a sensitive nature are
collected. Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: Varies by section, but
primarily monthly, or on occasion.
Description of Respondents:
Respondents comprise Federal oil, gas
and sulphur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
information collection is a total of
32,957 hours. The following chart
details the individual components and
estimated hour burdens. 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.

$600,065 Non-Hour Cost Burdens.

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified two non-hour cost
burdens, both of which are cost recovery
fees. Note that the actual fee amounts
are specified in 30 CFR 250.125, which
provide a consolidated table of all the
fees required under the 30 CFR part 250
regulations. The non-hour cost burden
total in this collection of information is
an estimated $600,065. The cost
burdens are for: (1) Filing fees
associated with submitting requests for
approval of simple applications
(applications to temporarily reroute
production (for a duration not to exceed
6 months); production tests prior to
pipeline construction; departures
related to meter proving, well testing, or
sampling frequency ($1,271 per
application)) or, (2) submitting a request
for approval of a complex application
(creation of new facility measurement
points (FMPs); association of leases or
units with existing FMPs; inclusion of
production from additional structures;
meter updates which add buyback gas
meters or pigging meters; other
applications which request deviations
from the approved allocation
procedures ($3,760 per application)).
We have not identified any other nonhour paperwork cost burdens associated
with this collection of information.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.)
requires each agency ‘‘* * * to provide
notice * * * and otherwise consult
with members of the public and affected
agencies concerning each proposed
collection of information * * *’’
Agencies must specifically solicit
comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the agency to perform its
duties, including whether the
information is useful; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) enhance the quality,

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 220001

usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on November 3,
2009, we published a Federal Register
notice (74 FR 56858) announcing that
we would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In
addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB
control number for the information
collection requirements imposed by the
30 CFR 250 regulations. The regulation
also informs the public that they may
comment at any time on the collections
of information and provides the address
to which they should send comments.
We have received no comments in
response to these efforts.
If you wish to comment in response
to this notice, you may send your
comments to the offices listed under the
ADDRESSES section of this notice. The
OMB has up to 60 days to approve or
disapprove the information collection
but may respond after 30 days.
Therefore, to ensure maximum
consideration, OMB should receive
public comments by June 18, 2010.
Public Availability of Comments:
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.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
General Management Plan; Joshua
Tree National Park; San Bernardino
and Riverside Counties, CA; Notice of
Intent To Prepare Environmental
Impact Statement
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42
U.S.C. 4332(C), the National Park
Service is updating the General
Management Plan (GMP) for Joshua Tree
National Park, California. The new GMP
will update the overall direction for the
park approved in 1995, refining goals
and objectives for managing the park
over the next 15 to 20 years. The GMP
will prescribe desired resource
conditions and visitor experiences that
are to be achieved and maintained
throughout the park based on such
factors as the park’s purpose,
significance, special mandates and the
body of laws and policies directing park
management and resource analysis,
other designations such as
establishment of 594,502 acres by
Congress as Wilderness, and the
spectrum of public expectations and
concerns. The GMP also will outline the
kinds of resource management
activities, visitor activities, and
developments that would be appropriate
and sustainable in the park in the
future.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A range of
reasonable alternatives for managing the
park will be developed by the National
Park Service (NPS) through this
conservation planning and
environmental impact analysis process,
and which will include, at a minimum,
no-action and agency-preferred
alternatives. Major issues the GMP will
address include changes in visitor use
patterns, adequacy and sustainability of
existing visitor facilities and park
operations, management of natural and
cultural resources, collaboration and
partnership opportunities, Wilderness
stewardship goals, evaluation of park
boundaries, and pro-active planning in
response to climate change. The
environmental impact statement (EIS)
will evaluate the potential
environmental consequences of the
