SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
Coastal Impact Assistance Program
(CIAP).
OMB Control Number: 1010–0170.
Abstract: With the passage of the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), the
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management,
Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE)
was given responsibility for the Coastal
Impact Assistance Program (CIAP)
through the amendment of Section 31 of
the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act
(43 U.S.C. 1356a Appendix A).
SUMMARY:

Sfmt 4703

CIAP recognizes that impacts from
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and
gas activities fall disproportionately on
the coastal states and localities nearest
to where the activities occur, and where
associated facilities are located. CIAP
legislation appropriates money for
eligible states and coastal political
subdivisions for coastal restoration/
improvement projects. BOEMRE shall
disburse $250 million to eligible
producing states and coastal political
subdivisions (CPSs) through a grant
program. The funds allocated to each
state are based on the proportion of
qualified OCS revenues offshore the
individual state to total qualified OCS
revenues from all states. In order to
receive funds, the states submit their
CIAP plans detailing how the funds will
be expended. Alabama, Alaska,
California, Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Texas are the only eligible states under
EPAct. Counties, parishes or equivalent
units of government within those states
lying all or in part within the coastal
zone, as defined by section 304(1) of the
Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA)
1972, as amended, are the Coastal
Political Subdivisions (CPSs) eligible for
CIAP funding, a total of 67 local
jurisdictions. All funds will be
disbursed through a grant process.
In September 2006, CIAP draft
guidelines were written and later
revised in May 2007. Information was
needed from the government
jurisdictions to meet all the
requirements of the CIAP State Plan
Guidelines as well as requirements on
the procurement contracts. To approve
a plan, legislation requires that the
Secretary of the Interior must be able to
determine that the funds will be used in
accordance with EPAct criteria and that
projects will use the funds according to
the EPAct. To confirm appropriate use
of funds, BOEMRE requires affirmation
of grantees meeting Federal, state, and
local laws and adequate project
descriptions.
This ICR is required to fulfill the
requirements of the BOEMRE CIAP
grant program.
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 or
retain benefits.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 6 states
and 67 CPSs.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting

burden for this collection is 13,339
hours. The following chart details the
individual components and respective
hour burden estimates of this ICR. 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.

burden, for the first 3 years, until more respondents are actively involved in a CIAP

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have identified no non-hour
cost burdens for this collection.
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,
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.
