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 this 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? 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, and comments will
be posted on <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>. 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.
Please be aware that BOEM's practice is to make all comments,
including the names and addresses of individuals, available for public
inspection on <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>. 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). If
your comment is requested under FOIA, 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 FOIA regulations and applicable
law.
In order for BOEM to consider withholding from disclosure your
personally identifiable information, you must identify, in a cover
letter, any information contained in your comment that, if released,
would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of your privacy. You
must also briefly describe any possible harmful consequences of the
disclosure of information, such as embarrassment, injury, or other
harm.
BOEM will make available for public inspection, in their entirety,
all comments (except proprietary information as discussed in the next
paragraph) submitted by organizations and businesses or by individuals
identifying themselves as representatives of organizations or
businesses.
BOEM protects proprietary information in accordance with FOIA and
the Department's implementing regulations (43 CFR part 2).
Title of Collection: ``Project Planning for the Use of Outer
Continental Shelf Sand, Gravel, and Shell Resources in Construction
Projects that Qualify for Negotiated Noncompetitive Agreement.''
Abstract: Under the authority delegated by the Secretary of the
Interior, BOEM is authorized, pursuant to section 8(k)(2) of the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1337(k)(2)), to convey
rights to OCS sand, gravel, and shell resources by negotiated
noncompetitive agreement (NNA) for use in shore protection and beach
and coastal restoration projects, or for use in construction projects
funded in whole or part by, or authorized by, the Federal Government.
This ICR does not significantly change the 2020 OMB approved
information collection.
[[Page 78993]]
Since the beginning of 2020, BOEM has processed eight NNAs and
amendments to existing agreements. In order for BOEM to continue to
meet the needs of local and State governments, information must be
acquired to plan for future projects and anticipated workloads.
Therefore, BOEM will issue calls for information about needed resources
and locations from interested parties to develop and maintain a project
schedule. BOEM also requires information to quickly respond to short-
notice requests such as during an emergency declaration in the
aftermath of a hurricane or tropical storm.
BOEM will publish all ongoing projects on the website <a href="http://www.boem.gov/Request-and-Active-Leases/">http://www.boem.gov/Request-and-Active-Leases/</a>.
OMB Control Number: 1010-0187.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Potential respondents comprise States,
counties, localities, and Tribes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 80 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 200 hours.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion or annually.
Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour Burden Cost: None.
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: BOEM estimates
that the annual reporting burden for this collection is about 200
hours, assuming an emergency declaration is made each year.
Local Government Compilation: 25 local governments x 1 hour per
information collection response x 2 responses annually = 50 hours.
State Government Compilation: 15 State governments x 5 hours per
information collection response x 2 responses annually = 150 hours (50
local government hours + 150 State hours = 200 total burden hours).
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
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Karen Thundiyil,
Chief, Office of Regulations, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
