Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact 
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information 
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired 
format.

[[Page 53520]]

    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of BSEE; (2) Will this information be processed and used in a 
timely manner; (3) Is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) How might 
BSEE enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (5) How might BSEE minimize the burden of this 
collection on the respondents, including through the use of information 
technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone 
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available 
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your 
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Abstract: BSEE will use the information required by 30 CFR 282 to 
determine if lessees are complying with the regulations that implement 
the mining operations program for minerals other than oil, gas, and 
sulphur. Specifically, BSEE will use the information:
     To ensure that operations for the production of minerals 
other than oil, gas, and sulphur in the OCS are conducted in a manner 
that will result in orderly resource recovery, development, and the 
protection of the human, marine, and coastal environments.
     To ensure that adequate measures will be taken during 
operations to prevent waste, conserve the natural resources of the OCS, 
and to protect the environment, human life, and correlative rights.
     To determine if suspensions of activities are in the 
national interest, to facilitate proper development of a lease 
including reasonable time to develop a mine and construct its 
supporting facilities, and to allow for the construction or negotiation 
for use of transportation facilities.
     To identify and evaluate the cause(s) of a hazard(s) 
generating a suspension, the potential damage from a hazard(s) and the 
measures available to mitigate the potential for damage.
     For technical evaluations that provide a basis for BSEE to 
make informed decisions to approve, disapprove, or require modification 
of the proposed activities.
    Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 282--Operations in the Outer 
Continental Shelf for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulphur.
    OMB Control Number: 1014-0021.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Potential respondents comprise Federal 
OCS oil, gas, and sulphur lessees/operators.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: As there are no 
active respondents, we estimated the potential annual number of 
respondents to be one.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 16.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 1 hour to 20 
hours, depending on activity.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 56.
    Respondent's Obligation: Most responses are mandatory, while others 
are required to obtain or retain benefits, or are voluntary.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion and varies by section.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: We have identified one 
non-hour cost burden. Pursuant to Sec.  282.13(e)(1), a site-specific 
study to determine and evaluate hazards that results in a suspension of 
operation would have a non-hour cost burden. Since this has not been 
done to date, we estimated that the cost of such a study for industry 
would be approximately $100,000 to comply with the requirement. We have 
not identified any other non-hour cost burdens associated with this 
collection of information.
    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 OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

    Dated: October 11, 2017.

Chief, Office of Offshore Regulatory Programs.
