SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Pursuant to the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., and 5 CFR 1320.5, all information collections, as defined in 5 CFR 1320.3, require approval by OMB. ONRR may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

As part of ONRR's continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, ONRR is inviting the public and other Federal agencies to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information in accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1). This helps ONRR to assess the impact of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand ONRR's information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.

ONRR is especially interested in public comments addressing the following:

(1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(2) The accuracy of ONRR's estimate of the burden for this collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of response.

ONRR published a notice, with a 60-day public comment period soliciting comment of this collection of information, in the Federal Register on April 14, 2025 (90 FR 15574). ONRR did not receive any comments. ONRR reached out to members of industry soliciting comments and received three comments, all agreeing with the content and burden hour estimates. ONRR provided responses to each comment accordingly.

Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. ONRR will include or summarize each comment in its 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 ONRR in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, ONRR cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so.

Abstract: (a) General Information: The Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982 (“FOGRMA”) directs the Secretary of the Interior (“Secretary”) to “establish a comprehensive inspection, collection and fiscal and production accounting and auditing system to provide the capability to accurately determine oil and gas royalties, interest, fines, penalties, fees, deposits, and other payments owed, and to collect and account for such amounts in a timely manner.” See 30 U.S.C. 1711. ONRR performs these and other mineral revenue management responsibilities for the Secretary. See U.S. Department of the Interior Departmental Manual, 112 DM 34.1 (Dec. 9, 2020).

ONRR uses the information collected in this ICR to ensure that a lessee properly pays royalty and other mineral revenues due on solid and geothermal resources produced from Federal and Indian lands. ONRR also uses these forms for lessees to claim a coal washing and/or transportation allowance. ONRR shares the data with the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Tribal and State governments for their land and lease management responsibilities. The requirement to report accurately and timely is mandatory.

(b) Information Collections: This ICR covers the paperwork requirements under 30 CFR parts:

• 1202, subpart H, which pertains to geothermal resources royalties.
• 1206, subparts F, H, and J, which pertain to product valuation of Federal coal, geothermal resources, and Indian coal.
• 1210, subparts E and H, which pertain to production and royalty reports on solid minerals and geothermal resources leases.
• 1212, subparts E and H, which pertain to recordkeeping of reports and files for solid minerals and geothermal resources leases.
• 1217, subparts E, F, and G, which pertain to audits and inspections of ( printed page 37882) coal, other solid minerals, and geothermal resources leases.

• 1218, subparts E and F, which govern the payment of royalties, rentals, bonuses and other monies due for solid minerals and geothermal resource production.
  All data reported is subject to subsequent audit and adjustment. A lessee uses the following forms for solid minerals production, sales, royalty reporting, and allowances:

• ONRR-4292, Coal Washing Allowance Report: A lessee of any Indian lease producing coal must submit this form to claim a coal washing allowance.

• ONRR-4293, Coal Transportation Allowance: A lessee of any Indian lease producing coal must submit this form to claim a coal transportation allowance.

• ONRR-4430, Solid Minerals Production and Royalty Report: A Federal or Indian lessee must submit this form to report royalties, certain rents, and other lease-related transactions on solid mineral leases.

• ONRR-4440, Solid Mineral Sales: A lessee files this form for all coal and other solid minerals produced from Federal and Indian leases and for any remote storage site which the lessee sells Federal or Indian solid minerals.
  Title of Collection: Solid Minerals and Geothermal Collections— 30 CFR parts 1202, 1206, 1210, 1212, 1217, and 1218.

OMB Control Number: 1012-0010.

Form Numbers: ONRR-4292, ONRR-4293, ONRR-4430, and ONRR-4440.

Type of Review: Renewal of a currently approved collection.

Respondents/Affected Public: Businesses.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 100 reporters.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 9,259.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,694 hours.

Estimated Completion Time per Response: The average completion time is .39 hours per response. The average completion time is calculated by dividing the total estimated burden hours (3,694) by the estimated annual responses (9,259). While the burden hours slightly increased from the last ICR renewal (87 FR 56974, September 16, 2022) this is not due to any additional collections of information from industry. Because ONRR received 1,181 more annual responses, the associated burden hours also increased.

Respondent's Obligation: The records maintenance and the filing of forms ONRR-4430 and ONRR-4440 are mandatory. The filing of forms ONRR-4292 and ONRR-4293, and the submission of solid minerals and geothermal resource information that do not have an ONRR form, are required to obtain or retain a benefit.

Frequency of Collection: Monthly, annually, and on occasion.

Estimated Annual Non-hour Cost Burden: ONRR has identified no “non-hour” cost burden associated with the 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 PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

April Lockler,

Acting Director, Office of Natural Resources Revenue.
