30-Day Federal Register Notice

alternatives on all potential resources
that could be adversely affected,
including: aesthetics, agricultural
resources, air quality and climate
change, biological resources, cultural
resources, geology, minerals and
paleontological resources, hazardous
materials, hydrology and water quality,
land use and planning, noise, public
health hazards, recreation, traffic and
transportation, utilities, and public
service systems.
Our proposed action is approving the
applicants’ Plan and issuing an
incidental take permit for the
applicants’ Covered Activities. As
required by the Act, the applicants’ Plan
considers alternatives to the take under
the proposed action. The Plan considers
the environmental consequences of a No
Action alternative.
Under the No Action alternative, we
would not issue a permit, and the
applicants would not construct the
project. The No Action alternative
would not achieve the applicants’
objectives and would not allow the
development of the project.
Under the proposed action
alternative, we would issue an
incidental take permit for the
applicants’ proposed project, which
includes the activities described above
and in more detail in the Plan.

collection of information.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
following information is provided for
the information collection:
Title: Helium Contracts (43 CFR
3195).
OMB Number: 1004–0179.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: This collection of
information pertains to the Helium
Privatization Act of 1996, which
provides that only authorized
contractors may sell helium to Federal
agencies. The BLM uses this
information to verify that authorized
contractors are in compliance with the
Helium Privatization Act. In order to
become an authorized contractor, a
helium supplier must enter into an InKind Crude Helium Sales Contract to
purchase from the Secretary of Interior
amounts of crude helium that are
equivalent to amounts the supplier sells
to agencies of the Federal Government.
50 U.S.C. 167d. In the past, the BLM
provided Form 1422x–922 for

respondents to comply with some of
these requirements, but the pertinent
regulations do not require that they use
the form. The respondents have
demonstrated compliance with the
Helium Privatization Act without using
the form and the BLM has determined
that the form is no longer necessary to
collect information. As a result, the
BLM has decided to eliminate Form
1422X–922, although the BLM will
continue to require respondents to
submit pertinent information through
written or electronic means as required
by 43 CFR part 3195. The BLM uses the
information for reporting and
recordkeeping. Responses are required
to obtain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: Quarterly
and annually.
Annual Burden Hours: 32 responses
with 3.25 hours per response totals 104
burden hours.
Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: There
are no processing fees associated with
this collection.
Comments: As required in 5 CFR
1320.8(d), the BLM published the 60day notice in the Federal Register on
June 14, 2010 (75 FR 33632) soliciting
comments from the public and other
interested parties. The comment period
closed on August 13, 2010. The BLM
did not receive any comments from the
public in response to this notice, and
did not receive any unsolicited
comments.
The BLM now requests comments on
the following subjects:
1. Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
functioning of the BLM, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. The accuracy of the BLM’s estimate
of the burden of collecting the
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
3. The quality, utility and clarity of
the information to be collected; and
4. How to minimize the information
collection burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other forms of
information technology.

addresses listed under ADDRESSES.
