BOEM uses the information to determine if the applicant filing for a lease in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is qualified to hold such a lease, to verify qualification of bidders and eligibility of joint bidders, and to verify lessees have adequate bonding coverage. Respondents are Federal OCS sulphur or oil and gas lessees and bidders on OCS lease sales.
This ICR requests adjustments to both the hour burden and the non-hour cost burdens.
(a) Hour Burden: We are reporting 17,882 burden hours, which is an increase of 2,127 hours from the previous submission. We made an adjustment increase of 1,531 hours as a result of reestimating the number of annual responses. We are reporting as a program change an increase of 596 hours for two regulatory requirements in Subparts B and D (see table in item 12) that were overlooked and not included in our previous submission.
(b) Non-Hour Cost Burdens: The currently approved OMB inventory is $393,345 in non-hour burden costs. This submission requests an adjustment increase of $220,649 for a total of $613,994. The increase is due to a change in the number of respondents and the adjustment in fees for inflation, in accordance with a previously approved fee schedule.
