Abstract: The OCSLA (43 U.S.C. 1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)(1)) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to issue regulations to grant to qualified persons who offer the highest cash bonus on a basis of competitive bidding, leases of any mineral other than oil, gas, and sulfur in any area of the OCS not then under lease for such mineral upon such royalty, rental, and other terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe at the time of offering the area for lease. Regulations at 30 CFR part 582 carry out these statutory requirements by regulating mining operations within the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, and sulfur and establishing a comprehensive regulatory program for such minerals. There has been no competitive leasing activity in the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, and sulfur for many years. Accordingly, BOEM has not generally collected information under this Part of its regulations. However, since these are regulatory requirements, the potential exists for information to be collected. Therefore, we are renewing OMB approval for this information collection. BOEM will use the information required by 30 CFR part 582 to determine if lessees are complying with the regulations for mining minerals other than oil, gas, sulfur. BOEM will also use the information to ensure that such operations are conducted in a manner that will result in orderly resource recovery and development, and the protection of the human, marine, and coastal environments and for technical and environmental evaluations which provide a basis for BOEM to make informed decisions to approve, disapprove, or require modification of the proposed activities.
