comment submissions. The BLM and
FWS considered all comments received
during the extended comment period in
the preparation of the Final
Supplemental EIS.
Substantive public comments and
ongoing agency coordination led to
several changes from the Draft
Supplemental EIS. Additional data
became available after publication of the
Draft Supplemental EIS that is
incorporated into the analysis in the
Final Supplemental EIS, including
vegetation Assessment, Inventory, and
Monitoring data for the three ROW
alternatives in the NCA, corrected
boundaries for two Land and Water
Conservation Fund-acquired parcels,
updated traffic modeling results for each
ROW alternative, and the identification
of additional environmental justice
concerns, primarily for the ROW
alternatives that would reconfigure
existing roadways. The BLM and FWS
responded to substantive comments and
made appropriate revisions in the Final
Supplemental EIS or explained why a
comment did not warrant a change, as
documented in Appendix F of the Final
Supplemental EIS.

Lead and Cooperating Agencies
The BLM and FWS are co-lead
agencies. Cooperating agencies are the
State of Utah Public Lands Policy
Coordinating Office, State of Utah
Department of Environmental Quality,
State of Utah Trust Lands
Administration, Washington City, Dixie
Metropolitan Planning Organization,
City of St. George, City of Ivins, Santa
Clara City, City of Hurricane, the Paiute
Indian Tribe of Utah, and the Shivwits
Band of the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah.
Additional Information
The BLM is using the NEPA process
to comply with section 106 of the NHPA
(54 U.S.C. 306108) as provided in 36
CFR 800.2(d)(3), including the public
involvement requirements of section
106. Information about historic and
cultural resources within the area
potentially affected by the proposed
project has been included in the Final
Supplemental EIS. The BLM, in
consultation with the Utah State
Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and
consulting parties, initially began
developing a Memorandum of
Agreement to resolve adverse effects to
historic properties. Based on ongoing
consultation with the SHPO, the BLM
determined that a Programmatic
Agreement—rather than a Memorandum
of Agreement—is more appropriate to
document its compliance with section
106 because of the uncertainties
associated with non-Federal lands

within Zone 6, which may lose their
enhanced protections and become
subject to future development and other
activities that could result in subsequent
adverse effects to historic properties.
The BLM will develop, sign, and
implement a programmatic agreement in
accordance with 36 CFR 800.14(b) to
serve as the binding commitment to
resolve adverse effects to historic
properties on Federal lands. The
programmatic agreement will lay out the
framework that the BLM, UDOT, Tribes,
and other signatories to the agreement
will use to fund, develop, and
implement a Historic Properties
Treatment Plan for historic properties
that may be adversely affected by
project-related actions.
The BLM and FWS will continue to
consult with Tribal Nations on a
government-to-government basis in
accordance with Executive Order 13175,
BLM Manual Section 1780, and other
Departmental policies. Tribal concerns,
including impacts on Indian trust assets
and potential impacts to cultural
resources, will be given due
consideration.

geophysical (G&G) exploration issued
pursuant to section 11 of the Outer
Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA).
43 U.S.C. 1340.
Section 11(a)(1) of the OCSLA states
that ‘‘any person authorized by the
Secretary [of the Interior] may conduct
geological and geophysical explorations
in the Outer Continental Shelf, which
do not interfere with or endanger actual
operations under any lease maintained
or granted pursuant to this subchapter,
and which are not unduly harmful to
aquatic life in such area.’’ See 43 U.S.C.
1340(a)(1). The OCSLA defines the term
‘‘exploration’’ to mean the process of
searching for minerals by, among other
things, ‘‘geophysical surveys where
magnetic, gravity, seismic, or other
systems are used to detect or imply the
presence of such minerals.’’ See 43
U.S.C. 1331(k). Section 11(g) authorizes
permits or authorizations for geological
exploration only if the Secretary
determines that the applicant is
qualified and the exploration will not
interfere with operations on an existing
lease, unduly harm aquatic life in the
area, result in pollution, create
hazardous or unsafe conditions,
unreasonably interfere with other uses
of the area, nor disturb any site,
structure, or object of historical or
archaeological significance. See 43
U.S.C. 1340(g).
BOEM considers applications for
commercial prospecting and
noncommercial exploration for marine
minerals, as well as scientific research
related to marine minerals. Under 30
CFR part 580, G&G prospecting by any
person on unleased lands or on lands
leased to a third party requires a BOEM
permit. A permit also is required to
conduct scientific research activities
that involve the use of solid or liquid
explosives, the drilling of a deep
stratigraphic test, or the development of
data and information for proprietary use
or sale. See 30 CFR 580.11(a).
Otherwise, G&G activities conducted for
scientific or academic purposes require
only the submission of a scientific
research notice. See 30 CFR 580.11(b).
G&G activities are also conducted for
noncommercial exploration purposes
and may include, for example, searching
for sand, gravel, and other sources of
sediment for potential use in qualifying
beach nourishment and coastal
restoration projects. See 43 U.S.C.
1337(k). Because 30 CFR part 580 does
not apply to noncommercial
exploration, such G&G activities would
be authorized directly pursuant to
section 11 of the OCSLA.
As a Federal agency, BOEM must
comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001

4321 et seq.), Endangered Species Act
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and National
Historic Preservation Act (54 U.S.C.
300101 et seq.), among other laws.
Compliance with the Endangered
Species Act requires BOEM to carry out
any agency action in a manner that is
not likely to jeopardize protected
species or adversely modify designated
critical habitat and to consult with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and
National Marine Fisheries Service, as
applicable, before engaging in a
discretionary action that may affect a
protected species.
Applicants must submit Form BOEM–
0134, ‘‘Requirements for Geological and
Geophysical Prospecting, Exploration,
or Scientific Research on the Outer
Continental Shelf Related to Minerals
Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur,’’ to
provide the information necessary to
evaluate their requests to conduct G&G
activities for commercial prospecting,
noncommercial exploration, and certain
scientific research activities that do not
involve explosives, deep stratigraphic
drilling, or proprietary interests in the
collected data. BOEM uses the
submitted information for several
purposes: (1) to ensure there will be no
undue adverse effects to the marine,
coastal, or human environment,
personal harm, unsafe operations and
conditions, nor unreasonable
interferences with other uses; (2) to
enhance personal and operational
safety; (3) to analyze and evaluate
preliminary or planned mining
activities; (4) to monitor progress and
activities on the OCS; (5) to acquire G&G
data and information collected under a
Federal permit or authorization; and (6)
to determine eligibility for
reimbursement from the Government for
certain costs.
Upon approval, BOEM issues
applicants a permit or an authorization
(as currently titled Form BOEM–0135,
‘‘Permit for Geophysical Prospecting,
Authorization for Noncommercial
Geophysical Exploration, or Permit for
Scientific Research for Minerals Other
than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur on the Outer
Continental Shelf,’’ or Form BOEM–
0136, ‘‘Permit for Geological
Prospecting, Authorization for
Noncommercial Geological Exploration,
or Permit for Scientific Research for
Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and
Sulphur on the Outer Continental
Shelf’’).
BOEM may use the data and
information collected during G&G
activities to understand the
characteristics of marine mineralbearing physiographic regions of the
OCS. The data and information aids
BOEM in analyzing and weighing the

potential for environmental damage, the
discovery of marine minerals, and any
associated impacts on adjacent coastal
States.

Form Number: BOEM–0134,
‘‘Requirements for Geological and
Geophysical Prospecting, Exploration,

The following forms are the permit
forms issued by BOEM based on
information provided in BOEM–0134:
BOEM–0135, ‘‘Permit for Geophysical
Prospecting, Authorization for
Noncommercial Geophysical
Exploration, or Permit for Scientific
Research for Minerals Other than Oil,
Gas, and Sulphur on the Outer
Continental Shelf.’’
BOEM–0136, ‘‘Permit for Geological
Prospecting, Authorization for
Noncommercial Geological Exploration,
or Permit for Scientific Research for
Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and
Sulphur on the Outer Continental
Shelf.’’
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Permittees, applicants, and other
respondents, including those required to
only file notices (scientific research).
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 45 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 826 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory
or required to retain or obtain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion,
annual, or as specified in permits.
Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour
Cost Burden: $4,024 non-hour cost
burden.
The current approved annual burden
hours are equal to 730 hours. This ICR
increases annual burdens by 96 hours to
a total of 826 hours, based on BOEM’s
recent collection of data and
information. The changes in annual
burden hours include the following:
• For subpart B, BOEM is increasing
the annual burden hours from 24 to 72
hours, due to an increase in the
estimated time needed to file a notice to
conduct scientific research activities
related to hard minerals (+48 hours).
• For subpart D, BOEM is increasing
annual burden hours from 40 to 96
hours, due to an increase in the
estimated time per response (from 8 to
16 hours per response) and an increase
in the number of submissions for
notification and submission of G&G data
and information from 5 submissions to
6 (+56 hours).
• For subpart D, BOEM is also
decreasing annual burden hours from 8

to 4 hours, due to a reduction in the
number of submissions of G&G data and
information related to a contractor’s
commitment not to sell, trade, license,
or disclose data from 2 submissions to
1 (¥4 hours).
• BOEM is also decreasing annual
burden hours from 6 to 2 hours, due to
a decrease in the number of respondents
required by the issued permits to retain
G&G data and information from 6
respondents to 2 (¥4 hours).
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period on the
proposed ICR was published on June 24,
2024 (89 FR 52501). BOEM received two
comments. One commenter opposes the
disturbance to the ocean floor, and the
other does not support the granting of
permits due to environmental impacts.
These comments do not change the
purpose of or need for the ICR, nor does
it affect the cost or hour burden.
BOEM is again soliciting comments
on the proposed ICR. BOEM is
especially interested in public
comments addressing the following
issues:
(1) Is the collection necessary to the
proper functions of BOEM?
(2) What can BOEM do to ensure that
this information is processed and used
in a timely manner?
(3) Is the burden estimate accurate?
(4) How might BOEM enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected?
(5) How might BOEM minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including minimizing the
burden through the use of information
technology?
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record and will be available for
public review on www.reginfo.gov.
BOEM will include or summarize each
comment in its ICR to OMB for approval
of this information collection. You
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your address,
phone number, email address, or other
personally identifiable information
included in your comment—may be
made publicly available at any time.
Even if BOEM withholds your
personally identifiable information in
the context of this ICR, your comment
is subject to the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552). Your
information will only be withheld if a
determination is made that one of the
FOIA exemptions to disclosure applies.
Such a determination will be made in
accordance with the Department of the
Interior’s (DOI) FOIA implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2) and
applicable law.
