Alternate Uses of Existing Facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is proposing to renew an 
information collection request (ICR).

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments, which must be 
received by BOEM no later than November 1, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on this ICR by mail to the BOEM 
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Anna Atkinson, Bureau of 
Ocean Energy Management, 45600 Woodland Road, Sterling, Virginia 20166; 
or by email to [email protected]. Please reference Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 1010-0176 in the subject 
line of your comments. You may also view the ICR and its related 
documents by searching the docket number BOEM-2017-0016 at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact Anna Atkinson by email at 
[email protected] or by telephone at 703-787-1025. Individuals in 
the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a 
speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access 
telecommunications relay services. Individuals outside of the United 
States should use the relay services offered within their country to 
make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 provide the requested data in 
the desired format.
    BOEM is soliciting comments on the proposed ICR described below. 
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; and (5) how might BOEM minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including minimizing the 
burden through the use of information technology?
    Comments submitted in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. 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.
    You may request that BOEM withhold your personally identifiable 
information from public disclosure. In order for BOEM to consider 
withholding from disclosure your personally identifying information, 
you must identify, in a cover letter, any information contained in the 
submittal of your comments that, if released, would constitute a 
clearly unwarranted invasion of your personal privacy. You must also 
briefly describe any possible harmful consequences from disclosing your 
information, such as embarrassment, injury, or other harm. Even if BOEM 
withholds your information in the context of this ICR, your submission 
is subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). If your submission 
is requested under the FOIA, BOEM can only withhold your information if 
it determines that one of the FOIA's exemptions to disclosure applies. 
Such a determination will be made in accordance with the Department's 
FOIA regulations and applicable law.
    Note that BOEM will make available for public inspection all 
comments in their entirety submitted by organizations and businesses, 
or by individuals identifying themselves as representatives of 
organizations or businesses.
    BOEM protects proprietary information in accordance with FOIA (5 
U.S.C. 552), the Department of the Interior's implementing regulations 
(43 CFR part 2), and 30 CFR 585.113
    Title of Collection: ``30 CFR part 585, Renewable Energy and 
Alternate Uses of Existing Facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf.''
    Abstract: The ICR addresses the paperwork requirements in the 
regulations under ``30 CFR part 585, Renewable Energy and Alternate 
Uses of Existing Facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf [OCS]'' 
issued pursuant to the 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-of way 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 part 585; this notice concerns the reporting and 
recordkeeping elements required by these regulations.
    Respondents are 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. 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 rights-of-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 some 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 by renewable 
energy entities on the OCS to assign a lease interest, designate an 
operator, and to assign or relinquish a lease or grant. Form BOEM-0005 
is used to document a surety's guarantee lessees' and

[[Page 54251]]

grantees' performance. BOEM maintains the submitted forms as official 
lease and grant records.
    OMB Control Number: 1010-0176.
    Form Number:
     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: Extension 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 part 585.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 265 responses.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 18,783 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory or required to obtain or retain 
a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion or annually.
    Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour Burden Cost: $3,816,000 non-hour 
costs. The non-hour cost burdens consist of service fees and payments 
to a contractor for drafting BOEM-required documents, preparing and 
conducting a site-specific study, and writing a report to evaluate the 
cause of harm to natural resources.
    Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The estimated 
annual hour burden for this collection is 18,783 hours. The following 
table details the individual components and estimated hour burdens. In 
calculating the burdens, BOEM recognized that some of its required 
information collections are incurred by respondents in the normal 
course of their activities, like compiling and maintaining business 
records. BOEM considers some information collection activities to be 
usual and customary business practices and excluded those activities 
from its account in estimating the burden.
    The following table details the individual BOEM components and 
respective burden hours of this ICR.

\1\ In the future, BOEM may require electronic filing of certain submissions.
\2\ Retention of these records is usual and customary business practice; the burden is primarily to make them
  available to BOEM and CVAs.

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid 
OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of
