information collection:
Title: Dominican Republic-Central
America-United States Free Trade
Agreement (CAFTA–DR).
OMB Number: 1651–0125.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: On August 5, 2004, the
United States entered into the
Dominican Republic-Central AmericaUnited States Free Trade Agreement
with Costa Rica, the Dominican
Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras, and Nicaragua (also known
as CAFTA–DR). The Agreement was
approved by Congress in section 101(a)
of the Dominican Republic-Central
America-United States Free Trade
Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L.
109–53, 119 Stat. 462) (19 U.S.C. 4001)
and provides for preferential tariff
treatment of certain goods originating in
one or more of the CAFTA–DR
countries. It was signed into law on
August 2, 2005.
In order to ascertain if imported goods
are eligible for preferential tariff
treatment or duty refunds under
CAFTA–DR, CBP collects information
such as name and contact information
for importer and exporter; information
about the producer of the good; a
description of the good; the HTSUS
tariff classification; and the applicable
rule of origin. In addition, a certification
and supporting documents may be
requested by CBP in order to
substantiate the claim for preferential
tariff treatment. This collection of
information is provided for by 19 CFR
10.583 through 19 CFR 10.592.
Current Actions: CBP proposes to
extend the expiration date of this
information collection with no change
to the burden hours or to the
information collected.
Type of Review: Extension (without
change).
Affected Public: Businesses.

Branch at (703) 787–1605 to request

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart J,
Pipelines and Pipeline Rights-of-Way.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0050.
Form(s): BSEE–0149.
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
to prescribe rules and regulations
necessary for the administration of the
leasing provisions of the Act related to
mineral resources on the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease,
right-of-way, or a right-of-use and
easement. Section 1334(e) authorizes
the Secretary to grant ROWs through the
submerged lands of the OCS for
pipelines ‘‘ * * * for the transportation
of oil, natural gas, sulphur, or other
minerals, or under such regulations and
upon such conditions as may be
prescribed by the Secretary, * * *
including (as provided in section
1347(b) of this title) assuring maximum
environmental protection by utilization
of the best available and safest
technologies, including the safest
practices for pipeline burial.
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. Pipeline ROWs and
assignments are subject to cost recovery,
and BSEE regulations specify filing fees
for applications.
Regulations at 30 CFR 250, subpart J,
implement these statutory requirements.
We use the information to ensure those
activities are performed in a safe
manner. BSEE needs information
concerning the proposed pipeline and
safety equipment, inspections and tests,
and natural and manmade hazards near
the proposed pipeline route. BSEE uses
the information to review pipeline
designs prior to approving an
application for an ROW or lease term
pipeline to ensure that the pipeline, as
constructed, will provide for safe
transportation of minerals through the
submerged lands of the OCS. They
review proposed pipeline routes to
ensure that the pipeline would not
conflict with any State requirements or
unduly interfere with other OCS
activities. BSEE reviews proposals for
taking pipeline safety equipment out of
service to ensure alternate measures are
used that will properly provide for the
safety of the pipeline and associated

E:\FR\FM\05DEN1.SGM

05DEN1

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 233 / Monday, December 5, 2011 / Notices
facilities (platform, etc.). They review
notification of relinquishment of an
ROW grant and requests to abandon
pipelines to ensure that all legal
obligations are met and pipelines are
properly abandoned. BSEE monitors the
records concerning pipeline inspections
and tests to ensure safety of operations
and protection of the environment and
to schedule their workload to permit
witnessing and inspecting operations.
Information is also necessary to
determine the point at which DOI or
Department of Transportation (DOT) has
regulatory responsibility for a pipeline
and to be informed of the identified
operator if not the same as the ROW
holder.

The following form is also submitted
to BSEE under subpart J. The form and
its purpose is:
BSEE–0149—Assignment of Federal
OCS Pipeline Right-of-Way Grant: BSEE
uses the information to track the
ownership of pipeline ROWs; as well as
use the information to update the
corporate database that is used to
determine what leases are available for
a Lease Sale and the ownership of all
OCS leases.
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) and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data
and information to be made available to
the public or for limited inspection.’’ No

items of a sensitive nature are collected.
Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion, annual.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents include lessees, operators,
and holders of pipeline ROWs.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 76,864
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.

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 collection is
necessary or useful; (b) evaluate the
accuracy 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
technology.
Agencies must also estimate the nonhour paperwork cost burdens to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting
from the collection of information.
Therefore, if you have other than hour
burden 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. For further
information on this burden, refer to 5
CFR 1320.3(b)(1) and (2), or contact the
Bureau representative listed previously
in this notice.
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.

Environmental Policy Act also require
that we invite public comment before
issuing these permits.

To ensure consideration, written
comments must be received on or before
January 4, 2012.

Public Availability of Comments
The Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
prohibits activities with endangered and
threatened species unless a Federal
permit allows such activities. Along
with our implementing regulations in
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at
50 CFR 17, the Act provides for permits,
and requires that we invite public
comment before issuing these permits.
A permit granted by us under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Act authorizes
applicants to conduct activities with
U.S. endangered or threatened species
for scientific purposes, enhancement of
survival or propagation, or interstate
commerce. Our regulations regarding
implementation of section 10(a)(1)(A)
permits are found at 50 CFR 17.22 for
endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR
17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50
CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species,
and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant
species.
