1227.10—What is the authority for information collection?
(a)
The information collection requirements contained in this part have been approved by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq. and assigned OMB Control Number 1010-0088. We will use the information collected to review and approve delegation proposals from States wishing to perform royalty management functions.
(b)
Public reporting burden is estimated as follows. ONRR estimates 400 annual burden hours per function for each State performing the delegated functions. The Federal Government will reimburse some of these costs as provided by statute. However, States could incur additional start-up costs, such as purchasing equipment necessary to perform a delegated function, that may not be reimbursable. ONRR estimates that, if applicable, each payor or reporter would spend 50 burden hours annually coordinating their interactions and communications among the several States and with ONRR. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing burden, to the Information Collection Clearance Officer, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement, 381 Elden Street, Herndon, VA 20107; and to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Attention: Desk Officer for the Interior Department, OMB Control Number 1010-0088, 725 17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503.
