In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, BOEM provides
the general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps BOEM assess
the impact of its information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand BOEM’s information
collection requirements and provides
the requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period on the
proposed ICR was published on April
25, 2025 (90 FR 17442). BOEM received
3 comments. One comment suggested
reviewing the collection for safety
concerns. Another comment
recommended transitioning to all green
energy. Another commenter supported
clean and natural energy and did not
want Georgia impacted with drilling.
These comments do not change the
purpose of or need for the ICR, nor do
they affect the cost or hour burden.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we again invite the public and
other Federal agencies to comment on
this revised information collection. We
are especially interested in public
comments addressing the following:

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 230 / Wednesday, December 3, 2025 / Notices
BOEM protects proprietary
information in accordance with FOIA,
DOI’s implementing regulations (43 CFR
part 2), and 30 CFR 581.7.
Abstract: The ICR addresses the
paperwork requirements in the
regulations under 30 CFR parts 585 and
586 issued pursuant to the Outer
Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCS
Lands Act), as amended (43 U.S.C. 1331
et seq.). The OCS Lands Act at
subsection 8(p) (43 U.S.C. 1337(p))
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to issue leases, easements, or rights-ofway on the OCS for activities that
produce or support production,
transportation, or transmission of energy
from sources other than oil and gas,
including renewable energy. Subsection
8(p) directs the Secretary to issue any
necessary regulations to carry out the
OCS renewable energy program.
The Secretary delegated this authority
to BOEM. BOEM issued regulations for
OCS renewable energy activities at 30
CFR parts 585 and 586. This notice
concerns the reporting and
recordkeeping elements required by
these regulations.
Respondents are parties interested in
obtaining a lease or grant for renewable
energy activities on the OCS; lessees
and grantees submitting plans for
commercial and noncommercial
renewable energy projects on the OCS,
and, if such plans are approved,
constructing, operating, maintaining,
and decommissioning those projects;
and applicants for, or holders of, rightsof-use and easement for alternate uses of
existing facilities on the OCS.
BOEM must ensure that these
activities are carried out in a manner
that provides for, among other things,
safety, protection of the environment,
and consideration of other OCS users. In
order to execute its duties, BOEM
requires information regarding potential
purchasers of leases, grants, and rightsof-way; their proposed activities; their
financial assurance instruments to
ensure accrued obligations are met; and
their payments to the U.S. Treasury.
BOEM uses forms to collect
information to ensure proper and
efficient administration of OCS
renewable energy leases and grants and
to document the financial responsibility
of lessees and grantees. Forms BOEM–
0002, BOEM–0003, BOEM–0004, and
BOEM–0006 are used, respectively, by
renewable energy entities on the OCS to
assign a grant interest, assign a lease
interest, relinquish a lease or grant, and
designate an operator. Form BOEM–
0005 is used to document a surety’s

Jkt 268001
guarantee of lessees’ and grantees’
performance. BOEM maintains the
submitted forms as official lease and
grant records.
The current approved annual burdens
for OMB Control Number 1010–0176 are
equal to 9,876 burden hours, 200 annual
responses, and $1,908,000 non-hour
costs. BOEM is updating the overall
burdens for this OMB control number.
This update reflects recent increases in
development activity and a more
realistic assessment of conditional
approvals that have increased the
number and scope of compliance
requirements compared to previous
estimates.
BOEM sets conditions of approval for
activities on the OCS to ensure
compliance with regulations and
project-specific requirements. BOEM
has several projects under current leases
that recently entered the planning
phase; these annual burden hours were
not counted in the last ICR renewal.
BOEM is increasing the annual burden
hours to reflect the increase related to
the terms and conditions of approval of
these projects. The adjustments to the
numbers in the burden table for this
revision are estimates based on BOEM’s
knowledge and expertise of the industry
and requirements associated with
offshore wind projects.
During the public outreach in 2025,
industry representatives noted that
annual burden hours were
undercounted for requirements that
support monitoring activities, training,
survey efforts, and monthly status
reporting. In addition, representatives
shared that non-labor costs were
undercounted, including those
requirements associated with studies
and vessel-supported activities.
As noted in the 60-day notice, BOEM
is also rolling the annual burdens under
OMB Control Number 1010–0195 into
this revision of 1010–0176. In 2023 and
2024, BOEM had two final rules tied to
30 CFR 585 and 586 (88 FR 6376 and
89 FR 42602). BOEM used two OMBapproved control numbers, 1010–0176
and 1010–0195, to account for the
information collections under those
rules. Now, with this ICR, BOEM will
consolidate these information
collections under OMB Control Number
1010–0176 and will discontinue 1010–
0195.
This ICR increases annual burdens by
71,228 hours to a total of 81,104 hours,
based on BOEM’s recent collection of
data and information.
On January 20, 2025, the Presidential
Memorandum ‘‘Temporary Withdrawal

Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
of All Areas on the Outer Continental
Shelf from Offshore Wind Leasing and
Review of the Federal Government’s
Leasing and Permitting Practices for
Wind Projects’’ was issued. With the
hold on wind leasing, BOEM will likely
see a decrease in annual burden hours
on future renewals of OMB Control
Number 1010–0176. In this ICR, BOEM
accounts for the leases moving through
the approval process.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 585,
Renewable Energy on the Outer
Continental Shelf and 586, Alternate
Uses of Existing Facilities on the Outer
Continental Shelf.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0176.
Form Numbers:
• BOEM–0002, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy
Assignment of Grant;’’
• BOEM–0003, ‘‘Assignment of
Record Title Interest in Federal OCS
Renewable Energy Lease;’’
• BOEM–0004, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy Lease or
Grant Relinquishment Application;’’
• BOEM–0005, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy Lessee’s,
Grantee’s, and Operator’s Bond;’’ and
• BOEM–0006, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy Lease or
Grant Designation of Operator.’’
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Companies interested in renewable
energy-related uses on the OCS and
holders of leases and grants under 30
CFR parts 585 and 586.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 483 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 81,104 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory
or required to retain or obtain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
or annually.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour
Cost Burden: $43,198,584 non-hour cost
burden.
The following table details the
individual components and estimated
hour burdens. In calculating the
burdens, BOEM recognized that some of
the required information collections are
incurred by respondents in the normal
course of their activities, like compiling
and maintaining business records.
BOEM considers some of the
information collection activities to be
usual and customary business practices
and excluded those activities from its
account in estimating the burden.
