Title:
Form MMS–144, Rig Movement
Notification Report.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0150.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) to prescribe rules and
regulations to administer leasing of the
OCS. Such rules and regulations will
apply to all operations conducted under
a lease. Operations on the OCS must
preserve, protect, and develop oil and
natural gas resources in a manner that
is consistent with the need to make such
resources available to meet the Nation’s
energy needs as rapidly as possible; to
balance orderly energy resource
development with protection of human,
marine, and coastal environments; to
ensure the public a fair and equitable
return on the resources of the OCS; and
to preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition. Section 1332(6) of the Act
requires that ‘‘operations in the [O]uter
Continental Shelf should be conducted
in a safe manner by well-trained
personnel using technology,
precautions, and techniques sufficient
to prevent or minimize the likelihood of
blowouts, loss of well control, fires,
spillages, physical obstruction to other
users of the waters or subsoil and
seabed, or other occurrences which may
cause damage to the environment or to
property, or endanger life or health.’’
This ICR concerns the regulations in
30 CFR 250 Subparts D, E, and F,
specifically §§ 403(c), 502, and 602, on
the movement of drilling, completion,
and workover rigs and related
equipment on and off an offshore
platform or from well to well on the
same offshore platform. The
requirement for operators to notify MMS
of rig movements is only specifically
stated in § 250.403(c). Since MMS is
mandated to perform timely inspections
on rigs and platforms, we must have
accurate information with regard to
their location on the OCS. We use this
information in scheduling inspections
with regard to priority and cost
effectiveness.
However, because of the increased
volume of activity in the Gulf of Mexico
Region (GOMR), it is now standard
MMS procedure to require this
notification as a condition of approval
for well workover, recompletion, or
abandonment operations. Because of
this we have included the rig movement
notification with the other general
information collection requirements of
these regulations under OMB Control
Numbers 1010–0141, 1010–0067, and
1010–0043 (30 CFR 250, Subparts D, E,
and F, respectively). The MMS District

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 136 / Tuesday, July 17, 2007 / Notices
Offices use the information reported to
ascertain the precise arrival and
departure of all rigs in OCS waters. The
accurate location of these rigs is
necessary to better facilitate the
scheduling of inspections by MMS
personnel.
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2) and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data
and information to be made available to
the public or for limited inspection.’’ No
items of a sensitive nature are collected.
Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 130
Federal OCS oil and gas lessees.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: We
estimate respondents will average 6
minutes to fill out and complete Form
MMS–144. The total annual estimate is
180 burden hours.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have identified no cost
burdens associated for this collection.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: Before submitting an ICR
to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
requires each agency ‘‘* * * to provide
notice * * * and otherwise consult
with members of the public and affected
agencies concerning each proposed
collection of information * * *’’.
Agencies must specifically solicit
comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the agency to perform its
duties, including whether the
information is useful; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
minimize the burden of the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Agencies must also estimate the ‘‘nonhour costs’’ burdens to respondents or
recordkeepers resulting form the
collection of information. Therefore, if
you have costs to generate, maintain,
and disclose this information, you
should comment and provide your total
capital and startup cost components or

annual operation, maintenance, and
purchase of service components. You
should describe the methods you use to
estimate major cost factors, including
system and technology acquisition,
expected useful life of capital
equipment, discount rate(s), and the
period over which you incur costs.
Capital and startup costs include,
among other items, computers and
software you purchase to prepare for
collecting information, monitoring, and
record storage facilities. You should not
include estimates for equipment or
services purchased: (1) Before October
1, 1995; (ii) to comply with
requirements not associated with the
information collection; (iii) for reasons
other than to provide information or
keep records for the Government; or (iv)
as part of customary and usual business
or private practices.
We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
submission for OMB approval. As a
result of your comments, we will make
any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.
Public Comment Procedures: Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in you
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 us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42
U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National Park
Service announces the availability of a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
for the Resource Protection Study for
Curecanti National Recreation Area,
Colorado.

Alternatives Evaluated
Alternative 1
Under Alternative 1, the No Action
Alternative, NPS would continue to
manage the natural, cultural, and
recreational resources of Curecanti
National Recreation Area (NRA), and
associated facilities, pursuant to
Reclamation law, NPS law, the 1965
Memorandum of Agreement between
NPS and Reclamation (1965 MOA), and
other applicable laws and regulations.
Reclamation would continue to mange
the three dams and reservoirs, power
plants, access roads, and other related
facilities, to meet the purposes of the
Colorado River Storage Project Act
(CRSP); and the East Portal area to meet
the purposes of the Uncompahgre
Project; pursuant to Reclamation law,
the 1965 MOA, and other applicable
laws and regulations. There would be
no significant change in the NRA
boundary. However, a permanent NPS
presence would not be assured under
this alternative.
Alternative 2
Under Alternative 2, the Proposed
Action, NPS would manage the same
natural, cultural, and recreational
resources and facilities as Alternative 1,
pursuant to Reclamation law, NPS law,
including new legislation establishing
the NRA with 10,040 acres of additional
agreed-upon neighboring agency lands,
a revised MOA with Reclamation, and
other applicable laws and regulations.
Reclamation would manage their same
facilities as Alternative 1, pursuant to
Reclamation law, the revised MOA, and
other applicable laws and regulations.
NPS would be authorized to work in
partnership with private landowners
within a Conservation Opportunity Area
of 24,300 acres outside the NRA
boundary, to implement a variety of
tools, including acquiring interests in
land from willing landowners, which
would promote the long-term
conservation of resources. A permanent
NPS presence would be assured under
this alternative, which is also the
environmentally preferred alternative.
DATES: The National Park Service will
accept comments on the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement from
the public. Comments will be accepted
for 90 days from the date the
