information was published on
November 16, 2017 (82 FR 53519). The
BSEE received two comments pertaining
to this Federal Register notice, but
neither were germane to the collection
of information.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comments addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of
BSEE; (2) Will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) Is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) How might BSEE enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) How
might BSEE minimize the burden of this
collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. 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. 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.
Abstract: BSEE will use the
information required by 30 CFR part 282
to determine if lessees are complying
with the regulations that implement the
mining operations program for minerals
other than oil, gas, and sulphur.
Specifically, BSEE will use the
information:
• To ensure that operations for the
production of minerals other than oil,
gas, and sulphur in the outer
continental shelf (OCS) are conducted
in a manner that will result in orderly
resource recovery, development, and the
protection of the human, marine, and
coastal environments.
• To ensure that adequate measures
will be taken during operations to
prevent waste, conserve the natural
resources of the OCS, and to protect the
environment, human life, and
correlative rights.
• To determine if suspensions of
activities are in the national interest, to
facilitate proper development of a lease
including reasonable time to develop a
mine and construct its supporting
facilities, and to allow for the
construction or negotiation for use of
transportation facilities.
• To identify and evaluate the
cause(s) of a hazard(s) generating a

PO 00000

Frm 00094

Fmt 4703

suspension, the potential damage from a
hazard(s) and the measures available to
mitigate the potential for damage.
• For technical evaluations that
provide a basis for BSEE to make
informed decisions to approve,
disapprove, or require modification of
the proposed activities.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 282,
Operations in the Outer Continental
Shelf for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas,
and Sulphur.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0021.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Potential respondents comprise Federal
OCS oil, gas, and sulphur lessees/
operators and holders of pipeline rightsof-way.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: As there are no active
respondents; we estimated the potential
annual number of respondents to be
one.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 16.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Varies from 1 hour to 20
hours, depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 56.
Respondent’s Obligation: Most
responses are mandatory, while others
are required to obtain or retain benefits,
or are voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
and varies by section.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: We have identified one
non-hour cost burden. Pursuant to
§ 282.13(e)(1), a site-specific study to
determine and evaluate hazards that
results in a suspension of operation
would have a non-hour cost burden.
Since this has not been done to date, we
estimated that the cost of such a study
for industry would be approximately
$100,000 to comply with the
requirement. We have not identified any
other non-hour cost burdens associated
with this collection of information.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq).
Dated: July 11, 2018.

Chief, Office of Offshore Regulatory Programs.
