SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 291, Open and
Nondiscriminatory Access to Oil and
Gas Pipelines under the OCS Lands Act.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0172.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et
seq.), as amended, requires the Secretary
of the Interior to preserve, protect, and
develop OCS oil, gas, and sulphur
resources; make such resources
available to meet the Nation’s energy
needs; balance orderly energy resources
development with protection of the
human, marine, and coastal
environments; ensure the public a fair
and equitable return on the resources
offshore; and preserve and maintain free
enterprise competition.
Section 1334(f)(1) states ‘‘Except as
provided in paragraph (2), every permit,
license, easement, right-of-way, or other
grant of authority for the transportation
by pipeline on or across the Outer
Continental Shelf of oil or gas shall
require that the pipeline be operated in
accordance with the following
ADDRESSES:

competitive principles: (A) The pipeline
must provide open and
nondiscriminatory access to both owner
and non-owner shippers * * *.’’
These responsibilities are among
those delegated to the BOEMRE, which
replaced the Minerals Management
Service (MMS) on June 18, 2010. In
order to provide shippers with a
methodology to file complaints alleging
denial of access or that access is
discriminatory access, the MMS
promulgated regulations at 30 CFR Part
291. The BOEMRE will use the
information submitted during the
complaint process to determine whether
the shipper has been denied such access
or to initiate a more detailed
investigation into the specific
circumstances of the complainant’s
allegation. The complaint information
will be provided to the alleged
offending party. The BOEMRE may
request additional information upon
completion of the initial investigation.
We 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). No items of
a sensitive nature are collected.
Responses are required to obtain a
benefit.
Frequency: The frequency is on
occasion.
Description of Respondents: Shippers
who do business on the OCS and
companies that pay royalties on the
OCS.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved hour burden for this
collection is 254 hours. Refer to the
table below for a break down of the
complete burden. This includes the time
for reviewing instructions, gathering
and maintaining data, and completing
and reviewing the 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: Before submitting an ICR
to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
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,
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.
Agencies must also estimate the nonhour cost burdens to respondents or
recordkeepers resulting from the
collection of information. Therefore, if
you have costs to generate, maintain,
and disclose this information, you
should comment and provide your total
capital and startup cost components or
annual operation, maintenance, and
purchase of service components. You
should describe the methods you use to
estimate major cost factors, including
system and technology acquisition,
expected useful life of capital
equipment, discount rate(s), and the
period over which you incur costs.
Capital and startup costs include,
among other items, computers and
software you purchase to prepare for
collecting information, monitoring, and
record storage facilities. You should not
include estimates for equipment or
services purchased: (i) Before October 1,
1995; (ii) to comply with requirements
not associated with the information
collection; (iii) for reasons other than to
provide information or keep records for
the Government; or (iv) as part of
customary and usual business or private
practices.
We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
submission for OMB approval. As a
result of your comments, we will make
any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.
Public Comment Procedures: Before
including your address, phone number,
e-mail 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NextLight
Renewable Power, LLC, applied to the
BLM for a right-of-way on public lands
to construct a solar photovoltaic (PV)
facility approximately 2 miles southeast
of Primm, Nevada, in Clark County. As
originally proposed, the project
included 6,320 acres of BLM managed
lands and was expected to operate for
approximately 50 years. The proposed
project would be capable of producing
400 megawatts of electricity.
The solar field and infrastructure
would consist of fixed panels, an
underground and overhead electrical
power collection system, two step-up
transformers, 230-kilovolt (kV) and 220kV transmission lines, an operation and
maintenance area, a switchyard, paved
access and maintenance roads, flood
and drainage controls, and a fire break.
The Final EIS describes and analyzes
site-specific impacts of the proposed
project on air quality; biological,
cultural, water, soil, visual,
paleontological, and geological
resources; recreation; land use; noise;
public health; socioeconomics; and
traffic and transportation.
The Final EIS analyzes three
alternatives, including the no action
alternative (Alternative 1) and 2 action
alternatives. Alternative 2, the proposed
action and the BLM’s preferred
alternative, would disturb up to 2,967
acres of BLM managed land and would
include the use of berms to reduce
erosion. Alternative 3 would disturb up
to 4,818 acres of BLM managed land and
would employ an alternate drainage and
flood control design to control erosion.
The Final EIS describes the different
types of solar arrays and trackers that
were considered and their respective
impacts.
On April 16, 2010, the BLM published
the Notice of Availability for the Draft
EIS for this project in the Federal
Register [75 FR19990]. The BLM held 3
public meetings and accepted written
comments during a 45-day comment
