SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior is 
responsible for mineral resource development on Federal and Indian 
lands and the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The Secretary's 
responsibility, according to various laws, is to manage mineral 
resource production from Federal and Indian lands and the OCS, collect 
the royalties and other mineral revenues due, and distribute the funds 
collected under those laws. We have posted those laws pertaining to 
mineral leases on Federal and Indian lands and the OCS at http://www.onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/PubLaws/default.htm.
    The Secretary also has a trust responsibility to manage Indian 
lands and seek advice and information from Indian beneficiaries. ONRR 
performs the minerals revenue management functions for the Secretary 
and assists the Secretary in carrying out the Department's trust 
responsibility for Indian lands.
    You can find the information collections covered in this ICR at 30 
CFR parts:
     1202, subpart H, which pertains to geothermal resources 
royalties.
     1206, subparts F, H, and J, which pertain to product 
valuation of Federal coal, geothermal resources, and Indian coal.
     1210, subparts E and H, which pertain to production and 
royalty reports on solid minerals and geothermal resources leases.
     1212, subparts E and H, which pertain to recordkeeping of 
reports and files for solid minerals and geothermal resources leases.
     1217, subparts E and H, which pertain to audits and 
inspections of coal, other solid minerals, and geothermal resources 
leases.
     1218, subparts E and F, which pertain to royalty, rental, 
bonuses, and other monies payment for solid minerals and geothermal 
resources.
    All data reported is subject to subsequent audit and adjustment.

General Information

    When a company or an individual enters into a lease to explore, 
develop, produce, and dispose of minerals from Federal or Indian lands, 
that company or individual agrees to pay the lessor a share in an 
amount or value of production from the leased lands. The lessee, or 
designee, must report various kinds of information to the lessor 
relative to the disposition of the leased minerals. Such information is 
generally available within the records of the lessee or others involved 
in developing, transporting, processing, purchasing, or selling of such 
minerals.

Information Collections

    ONRR, acting for the Secretary, uses the information that we 
collect to ensure

[[Page 22107]]

that lessees accurately value and appropriately pay all royalties based 
on correct product valuation. ONRR and other Federal Government 
entities, including the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, 
Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and State and 
Tribal governmental entities, use the information for audit purposes 
and for evaluating the fairness of product valuation or allowance 
claims that lessees submit. Please refer to the burden hour chart for 
all reporting requirements and associated burden hours.
    Furthermore, ONRR proposes implementing a new form ONRR-4440, Solid 
Minerals Sales Summary, to collect current data elements in a 
standardized format to support ONRR's compliance efforts for all solid 
mineral leases. Lessees of coal and other solid minerals from Federal 
and Indian leases will submit required data on form ONRR-4440. Lessees 
will find the required data elements in the table in 30 CFR 1210.202. 
The sales summary information will aid ONRR in determining a lessee's 
compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations, and sales 
contracts.
    Currently, lessees are required to submit sales summaries 
electronically where possible by submitting internally generated 
information as an attachment to an email message using any format they 
have available. Over 95 percent of lessees use this submittal method. 
ONRR is developing an automated system that would receive and store the 
sales summary data that lessees submit on the proposed form ONRR-4440. 
Lessees would submit, and ONRR would utilize the submitted data in two 
phases. Phase 1 would require lessees to submit proposed form ONRR-4440 
using the current submittal method. Phase 2 would require lessees to 
submit proposed form ONRR-4440 electronically. This submittal process 
would be similar to the current process that ONRR requires lessees to 
follow to submit form ONRR-4430, Solid Minerals Production and Royalty 
Report. The proposed standard collection format using available 
information technology would greatly reduce the number of ONRR site 
visits, emails, or telephone contacts needed to clarify company-
generated sales summary documents.
A. Solid Minerals
    Producers of coal and other solid minerals from any Federal or 
Indian lease must submit current form ONRR-4430, Solid Minerals 
Production and Royalty Report, and other associated data formats. These 
companies also report certain data on form ONRR-2014, Report of Sales 
and Royalty Remittance (OMB Control Number 1012-0004). Producers of 
coal from any Indian lease must also submit form ONRR-4292, Coal 
Washing Allowance Report, and form ONRR-4293, Coal Transportation 
Allowance Report, if they wish to claim allowances on form ONRR-4430. 
The information ONRR requests are the minimum necessary to carry out 
our mission and places the least possible burden on respondents.
B. Geothermal Resources
    This ICR also covers some of the information collections for 
geothermal resources, which ONRR groups by usage (electrical 
generation, direct use, and byproduct recover), and by disposition of 
the resources (arm's-length (unaffiliated) contract sales, non-arm's-
length contract sales, and no contract sales) within each use group. 
ONRR relies primarily on data that payors report on form ONRR-2014 for 
the majority of our business processes, including geothermal 
information. In addition to using the data to account for royalties 
that payors report, ONRR uses the data for monthly distribution of 
mineral revenues and audit and compliance reviews.

OMB Approval

    We will request OMB approval to continue to collect this 
information. Not collecting this information would limit the 
Secretary's ability to discharge fiduciary duties and may also result 
in the loss of royalty payments. We protect the proprietary information 
that ONRR receives and do not collect items of a sensitive nature. It 
is mandatory that the reporters submit form ONRR-4430. Also, ONRR 
requires that reporters submit forms ONRR-4292, ONRR-4293, and ONRR 
4440 to obtain benefits for claiming allowances.

    Estimated Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Non-hour'' Cost 
Burden: We have identified no ``non-hour'' cost burdens associated with 
the collection of information.
    Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) 
provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person does 
not have to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

III. Request for Comments

    Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA requires each agency to ``* * * 
provide 60-day notice in the Federal Register * * * and otherwise 
consult with members of the public and affected agencies concerning 
each proposed collection of information * * *.'' Agencies must 
specifically solicit comments to (a) evaluate whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the agency to perform its 
duties, including whether the information is useful; (b) evaluate the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
collection of information; (c) enhance the quality, usefulness, and 
clarity of the information that ONRR collects; and (d) minimize the 
burden on the respondents, including the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    The PRA also requires agencies to estimate the total annual 
reporting ``non-hour cost'' burden to respondents or record-keepers 
resulting from the collection of information. If you have costs to 
generate, maintain, and disclose this information, you should comment 
and provide your total capital and startup cost components or annual 
operation, maintenance, and purchase of service components. You should 
describe the methods that you use to estimate (1) major cost factors, 
including system and technology acquisition, (2) expected useful life 
of capital equipment, (3) discount rate(s), and (4) the period over 
which you incur costs. Capital and startup costs include, among other 
items, computers and software that you purchase to prepare for 
collecting information and monitoring, sampling, and testing equipment; 
and record storage facilities. Generally, your estimates should not 
include equipment or services purchased: (i) Before October 1, 1995; 
(ii) to comply with requirements not associated with the information 
collection; (iii) for reasons other than to provide information or to 
keep records

for the Federal Government; or (iv) as part of customary and usual 
business or private practices. We will summarize written responses to 
this notice and address them in our ICR submission for OMB approval, 
including appropriate adjustments to the estimated burden. We will 
provide a copy of the ICR to you without charge upon request. We also 
will post the ICR on our Web site at http://www.onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/FRNotices/ICR0120.htm.
    Public Comment Policy: ONRR will post all comments, including names 
and addresses of respondents at http://www.regulations.gov. Before 
including Personally Identifiable Information (PII), such as your 
address, phone number, email address, or other personal information in 
your comment(s), you should be aware that your entire comment 
(including PII) may be made available to the public at any time. While 
you may ask us, in your comment, to withhold PII from public view, we 
cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    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 Office of Management and Budget control number.
