SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart A, General,
GPS (Global Positioning System) for
MODUs NTL.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0013.
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
ADDRESSES:

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;
preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition; and ensure that the extent
of oil and natural gas resources of the
OCS is assessed at the earliest
practicable time. Section 43 U.S.C.
1332(6) states that ‘‘operations in the
outer Continental Shelf should be
conducted in a safe manner by welltrained personnel using technology,
precautions, and techniques sufficient
to prevent or minimize the likelihood of
blowouts, loss of well control, fires,
spillages, physical obstruction to other
users of the waters or subsoil and
seabed, or other occurrences which may
cause damage to the environment or to
property, or endanger life or health.’’
To carry out these responsibilities, the
BSEE issues regulations to ensure that
operations in the OCS will meet
statutory requirements; provide for
safety and protect the environment; and
result in diligent exploration,
development, and production of OCS
leases. In addition, we also issue Notice
to Lessees (NTLs) that provide
clarification, explanation, and
interpretation of our regulations. These
NTLs are used to convey purely
informational material and to cover
situations that might not be adequately
addressed in our regulations.

Regulations at 30 CFR part 250
implement these statutory requirements.
We use the information for BSEE to
assess the whereabouts of any facility
becoming unmoored due to extreme
weather situations; as well as, to follow
the path of that facility to determine if
other facilities/pipelines, etc., were
damaged in any way. The offshore oil
and gas industry will use the
information to determine the safest and
quickest way to either remove the
obstacles or to fix and reuse them.
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.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal oil, gas,
or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 9 hours and
the non-hour cost burden is $150,000.
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.

Missouri, acting through the Missouri
Department of Natural Resources
(MDNR), formally selected Alternative D
of the Plan through signing of the
FONSI. Alternative D provides for
natural resource—based restoration
using a tiered project selection process
evaluating the feasibility of primary
restoration, compensatory restoration,
and acquisition of equivalent resources.
Interested members of the public are
invited to review the Plan.
ADDRESSES: The Plan can be viewed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The FWS and the MDNR (Trustees)
are trustees for natural resources
considered in this restoration plan,
pursuant to subpart G of the National
Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (40 CFR 300.600 and
300.610) and Executive Order 12580.
The Memorandum of Understanding
Between the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources and U.S. Department
of the Interior establishes a Trustee
Council charged with developing and
implementing a restoration plan for
ecological restoration in the Springfield
Plateau of southwest Missouri.
The Trustees followed the NRDAR
regulations found at 43 CFR part 11 for
the development of the Plan. The
objective of the NRDAR process is to
compensate the public for losses to
natural resources that have been injured
by releases of hazardous substances into
the environment. The Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA, more commonly known as
the Federal ‘‘Superfund’’ law) (42 U.S.C.
9601 et seq.) and the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act (commonly
known as the Clean Water Act (CWA))
(33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) authorize States,
federally recognized tribes, and certain
Federal agencies that have authority for

natural resources ‘‘belonging to,
managed by, controlled by or
appertaining to [the public]’’ to act as
‘‘trustees’’ on behalf of the public, to
restore, rehabilitate, replace, and/or
acquire natural resources equivalent to
those injured by releases of hazardous
substances.
The Trustees have worked together to
determine appropriate restoration
activities to address natural resource
injuries caused by the release of
hazardous substances into the
Springfield Plateau environment. The
results of this administrative process are
contained in a series of planning and
decision documents that have been
published for public review under
CERCLA. On January 11, 2012, the FWS
published in the Federal Register a
notice of availability commencing a 45day public comment period on the Draft
Springfield Plateau Regional Restoration
Plan and Environmental Assessment (77
FR 1717). The public comment period
ended on February 27, 2012. Comments
received during the public comment
period were incorporated into our final
document.
Current Notice of Availability
This current notice of availability
informs the public that the Trustees
have formally selected Alternative D of
The Plan through the signing of a
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI). The FONSI indicates that
restoring, replacing and/or acquiring the
equivalent of injured resources in the
Springfield Plateau as described under
Alternative D in the Final Springfield
Plateau Regional Restoration Plan (Plan)
and Environmental Assessment is not a
major Federal action which would
significantly affect the quality of the
human environment within the meaning
of Section 102(2)(c) of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
Authority
This notice is provided pursuant to
Natural Resource Damage Assessment
and Restoration (NRDAR) regulations
(43 CFR 11.81(d)(4)) and NEPA
(National Environmental Policy Act)
regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).
