Abstract:
Respondents provide BSEE with information that assists BSEE in determining whether the granting of a royalty relief request will result in the ultimate production of resources that would not be produced without relief. The application must contain sufficient financial, economic, reservoir, geologic and geophysical, production and engineering information to determine whether the decision to grant relief will result in ultimate increase in resource recovery, augment receipts to the Federal Treasury, and provide for reasonable returns on project investments.

Short Statement:
The current OMB inventory for this collection is 724 burden hours. In this submission, we are not making any changes to the hour burden due to inactivity in the program. The current OMB non-hour cost burden inventory is $27,950. In this submission, we are not making any changes to the non-hour cost burdens. There are currently no royalty relief applications in the OCS and none planned in the near future. As there are no active respondents, the non-hour cost burdens were estimated as once every 10 years.
