SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The National Register of Historic
Places (National Register) is the official
Federal list of districts, sites, buildings,
structures, and objects significant in
American history, architecture,
archeology, engineering, and culture.
National Register properties have
significance to the history of
communities, States, or the Nation. The
National Historic Preservation Act of
1966 requires the Secretary of the
Interior to maintain and expand the
National Register, and to establish
criteria and guidelines for including
properties on the National Register.
National Register properties must be
considered in the planning for Federal
or federally assisted projects, and listing
on the National Register is required for
eligibility for Federal rehabilitation tax
incentives. Listing on the National
Register provides formal recognition of
a property’s historical, architectural, or
archeological significance based on
national standards used by every State.
The listing places no obligations on
private property owners, and there are
no restrictions on the use, treatment,
transfer, or disposition of private
property.
The National Park Service administers
the National Register. Nominations

E:\FR\FM\30SEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 189 / Wednesday, September 30, 2015 / Notices
listing historic properties come from
State Historic Preservation Officers,
from Federal Preservation Officers for
properties owned or controlled by the
United States Government, and from
Tribal Historic Preservation Officers, for
properties on tribal lands. Regulations at
36 CFR parts 60 and 63 establish the
criteria and guidelines for listing and for
determining the eligibility of properties.
We use three forms for nominating
properties and providing documentation
for the proposed listings:
• NPS Form 10–900 (National
Register of Historic Places Registration
Form).
• NPS Form 10–900–a (National
Register of Historic Places Continuation
Sheet).
• NPS Form 10–900–b (National
Register of Historic Places Multiple
Property Documentation Form).
These forms and supporting
documentation go to the Historic
Preservation Office where the property
is located. The State Historic
Preservation Officer, Federal
Preservation Officer, or Tribal Historic
Preservation Officer can take one of
several options:
• Reject the property.
• Ask for more information.
• In the case of the State Historic
Preservation Officer, list the property
just with the State.
• Send the forms to NPS for listing on
the National Register.
Once we receive the forms, we
conduct a similar review process to
determine eligibility for listing on the
National Register.

Comments Received and Our Responses
On January 28, 2015, we published in
the Federal Register (80 FR 4589) a
notice of our intent to request that OMB
approve the collection of information
associated with nominations of
properties for inclusion in the National
Register of Historic properties. We did
not receive any comments in response
to that notice.
We published an amended notice on
June 26, 2015 (80 FR 36845). The
amended notice extended the comment

date and provided the public with more
detailed information about the five
types of package submissions that we
receive along with additional
information on the respective burden
estimates. We solicited comments for 60
days ending on August 25, 2015. We
received comments from nine States:
Comment: Four States provided
clarifications on the State burden
estimates published in the amended
notice, but did not provide any
additional comments regarding the
collection of information.
Response: We have considered and
included, as appropriate, the
information provided in our burden
estimates.
Comment: One State responded that
the collection of information was
essential to meet the mandates of the
National Historic Preservation Act. The
State acknowledged the burden
estimates for their State were accurate
and added that there is a wide variation
between response times from an
individual compared to an experienced
consultant. It was suggested that the
NPS redesign the NR form so that it
takes up fewer pages and to fix the
‘‘quirks’’ of the existing form. Finally,
the State felt the burden could not be
reduced unless additional funding is
provided to the State Historic
Preservation Offices to hire additional
staff.
Response: The forms are provided as
Word templates, which allow for rolling
text from one page to the next. Some
respondents choose not to fill out NPS
Form 10–900 completely and simply
place most documentation on NPS Form
10–900-a. Blank spaces may be deleted
so there are fewer pages. The current
forms allow for this flexibility. The
current and projected out-year funding
levels do not support the possibility of
hiring additional staff or increasing the
operating budget for the program.
However, hiring additional staff would
not reduce the burden, only spread it
out among a larger staff.
Comment: One State commented that
a category for State Historic Preservation

58775

Offices that prepare NR nominations
should have been included in the
burden estimates.
Response: We agree and have
included the burden in this ICR.
Comment: One State commented that
the information collected is adequate
and useful and would not recommend
any changes to what is requested. The
State believes that providing workshops
and further guidance would help
respondents to more fully understand
the requirements. The State also
commented that it would be difficult to
reduce the burden because most States
are concerned with local administration
of the Federal tax program and
incentives are tied to being listed on the
National Register.
Response: We agree. The NR Program
provides easily accessibly guidance
online via the National Register
Bulletins and webinars that are posted
on the NR Web site, as well as offering
yearly workshops to assist with the
documentation process.
Comment: One State commented that
the collection of information was
neither necessary nor useful and had no
practical utility in the nomination of
properties.
Response: We disagree. The
information we collect is necessary to
properly identify, evaluate, and protect
properties nominated to the National
Register of Historic Places.

The Secretary of the United States
Department of the Interior is responsible
for mineral resource development on
Federal and Indian lands and the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS). Under various
laws, the Secretary’s responsibility is to
manage mineral resources production
on Federal and Indian lands and the
OCS, collect royalties due, and
distribute the funds collected under
those laws. The Secretary also has a
trust responsibility to manage Indian
lands and seek advice and information
from Indian beneficiaries. ONRR
performs the minerals revenue
management functions for the Secretary
and assists the Secretary in carrying out
the Department’s trust responsibility for
Indian lands. Public laws pertaining to
mineral leases on Federal and Indian
lands are available at http://
www.onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/PubLaws/
default.htm.
Information collections that we cover
in this ICR are found at 30 CFR part
1202, subparts C and J, which pertain to
royalties; part 1206, subparts B and E,
which govern the valuation of oil and

PO 00000

Frm 00075

gas produced from leases on Indian
lands; and part 1207, which pertains to
recordkeeping. Indian Tribes and
individual Indian mineral owners
receive all royalties generated from their
lands. Determining product valuation is
essential to ensure that Indian Tribes
and individual Indian mineral owners
receive payment on the full value of the
minerals removed from their lands.
Failure to collect the data that we
describe in this ICR could result in the
undervaluation of leased minerals on
Indian lands. All data reported is
subject to subsequent audit and
adjustment.
Indian Oil
Regulations at 30 CFR part 1206,
subpart B, govern the valuation for
royalty purposes of all oil produced
from Indian oil and gas leases (Tribal
and allotted), except leases on the Osage
Indian Reservation, and are consistent
with mineral leasing laws, other
applicable laws, and lease terms.
Generally, these regulations provide that
lessees determine the value of oil based
upon the higher of (1) the gross
proceeds under an arm’s-length
contract; or (2) major portion analysis.
The value that a lessee determines may
be eligible for a transportation
allowance.
From information collected on Form
ONRR–4110, Oil Transportation
Allowance Report, ONRR and Tribal
audit personnel evaluate (1) whether
lessee-reported transportation
allowances are within regulatory
allowance limitations and calculated
under applicable regulations; and (2)
whether the lessees reported and paid
the proper amount of royalties. Lessees
must use Form ONRR–4110 for both
arm’s-length and non-arm’s-length
contracts.
Indian Gas
Regulations at 30 CFR part 1206,
subpart E, govern the valuation for
royalty purposes of natural gas
produced from Indian oil and gas leases
(Tribal and allotted). These regulations
apply to all gas production from Indian
oil and gas leases, except leases on the
Osage Indian Reservation.
Most Indian leases contain the
requirement to perform accounting for
comparison (dual accounting) for gas
produced from the lease. Lessees must
elect to perform actual dual accounting
as defined in 30 CFR 1206.176, or
alternative dual accounting as defined
in 30 CFR 1206.173. Lessees use Form
ONRR–4410, Accounting for
Comparison [Dual Accounting], to
certify that dual accounting is not
required on an Indian lease or to make
