SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00094
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
33481
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart A,
General.
Form(s): BSEE–0132, BSEE–0143, and
BSEE–1832.
OMB Control Number: 1014–NEW.
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
to prescribe rules and regulations
necessary for the administration of the
leasing provisions of the Act related to
mineral resources on the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease,
right-of-way, or a right-of-use and
easement. 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) states that
‘‘operations in the [O]uter Continental
Shelf should be conducted in a safe
manner by well trained personnel using
technology, precautions, and other
techniques sufficient to prevent or
minimize the likelihood of blowouts,
loss of well control, fires, spillages,
physical obstructions 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.’’
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. This authority and
responsibility are among those
delegated to BSEE. A request for
approval required in Subpart A is
subject to cost recovery, and BSEE
regulations specify a cost recovery fee
for this request.
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are delegated to BSEE.
Therefore, this ICR addresses the
regulations under 30 CFR part 250,
subpart A. This request also covers the
related Notices to Lessees and Operators
(NTLs) that BSEE issues to clarify and
provide additional guidance on some
aspects of our regulations.
To accommodate the split of
regulations from the Bureau of Ocean
Energy Management, Regulation and
Enforcement to BSEE (76 FR 64432),
BSEE is requesting OMB approval of the
E:\FR\FM\06JNN1.SGM
06JNN1
33482
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2012 / Notices
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
already approved burden hours that
were previously under 1010–0114 to
reflect BSEE’s new 1014 numbering
system.
Responses are mandatory or are
required to obtain or retain benefits. No
questions of a sensitive nature are
asked. Requests for BSEE approval may
contain proprietary information related
to performance standards or alternative
approaches to conducting operations
different from those approved and
specified in BSEE regulations. We will
protect proprietary information
according to the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552), under its
implementing regulations (43 CFR 2); as
well as 30 CFR 250.197, Data and
information to be made available to the
public or for limited inspection, and 30
CFR 252, OCS Oil and Gas Information
Program.
BSEE uses the information collected
under the subpart A regulations to
ensure that operations on the OCS are
carried out in a safe and pollution-free
manner, do not interfere with the rights
of other users on the OCS, and balance
the protection and development of OCS
resources. Specifically, we use the
information collected to:
• Review records of formal crane
operator and rigger training, crane
operator qualifications, crane
inspections, testing, and maintenance to
ensure that lessees/operators perform
operations in a safe and workmanlike
manner and that equipment is
maintained in a safe condition. BSEE
also uses the information to make
certain that all new and existing cranes
installed on OCS fixed platforms must
be equipped with anti-two block safety
devices, and to assure that uniform
methods are employed by lessees for
load testing of cranes.
• Review welding plans, procedures,
and records to ensure that welding is
conducted in a safe and workmanlike
manner by trained and experienced
personnel.
• Provide lessees/operators greater
flexibility to comply with regulatory
requirements through approval of
alternative equipment or procedures
and departures to regulations if they
demonstrate equal or better compliance
with the appropriate performance
standards.
• Ensure that injection of gas
promotes conservation of natural
resources, prevents waste, and that
subsurface storage of natural gas does
not unduly interfere with development
and production operations under
existing leases.
• Record the agent and local agent
empowered to receive notices and
comply with regulatory orders issued.
• Provide for orderly development of
leases through the use of information to
determine the appropriateness of lessee/
operator requests for suspension of
operations, including production.
• Improve safety and environmental
protection on the OCS through
collection and analysis of accident
reports to ascertain the cause of the
accidents and to determine ways to
prevent recurrences.
• Ascertain when the lease ceases
production or when the last well ceases
production in order to determine the
180th day after the date of completion
of the last production. BSEE will use
this information to efficiently maintain
the lessee/operator lease status.
• Be informed when there could be a
major disruption in the availability and
supply of natural gas and oil due to
natural occurrences/hurricanes, to
advise the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) in
case of the need to rescue offshore
workers in distress, to monitor damage
to offshore platforms and drilling rigs,
and to advise the news media and
interested public entities when
production is shut-in and when
resumed. The Gulf of Mexico OCS
Region (GOMR) uses a reporting form,
BSEE–0132, Evacuation Statistics, for
respondents to report evacuation
statistics when necessary. This form
requires the respondent to submit
general information such as company
name, contact, date, time, telephone
number, as well as number of platforms
and drilling rigs evacuated and not
evacuated. We also require production
shut-in statistics for oil (BOPD) and gas
(MMSCFD).
• Form BSEE–0143, Facility/
Equipment Damage Report, assists
lessees, lease operators, and pipeline
right-of-way holders when reporting
damage by a hurricane, earthquake, or
other natural phenomenon. They are
required to submit an initial damage
report to the Regional Supervisor within
48 hours after completing the initial
evaluation of the damage and then,
subsequent reports, monthly and
immediately, whenever information
changes until the damaged structure or
equipment is returned to service.
• Allow lessees/operators who
exhibit unacceptable performance an
incremental approach to improving
their overall performance prior to a final
decision to disqualify a lessee/operator
or to pursue debarment proceedings
through the execution of a performance
improvement plan (PIP). The subpart A
regulations do not address the actual
process that we will follow in pursuing
the disqualification of operators under
§§ 250.135 and 250.136. However, our
internal enforcement procedures
include allowing such operators to
demonstrate a commitment to
acceptable performance by the
submission of a PIP.
• Determine that respondents have
corrected all Incidents of NonCompliance (INC)(s), Form BSEE–1832,
identified during inspections. BSEE
issues this form to the operator and the
operator then corrects the INC(s), signs
and returns the form to the BSEE
Regional Supervisor within 14 days of
issuance.
Frequency: On occasion; monthly,
daily, or varies by section.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal oil, gas,
or sulphur OCS lessees and/or
operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
information collection is a total of
50,859 hours. The following chart
details the individual components and
estimated hour burdens. In calculating
the burdens, we assumed that
respondents perform certain
requirements in the normal course of
their activities. We consider these to be
usual and customary and took that into
account in estimating the burden.

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
* Cost recovery monies collected are based on actual submittals through Pay.gov for FY 2011.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified one non-hour cost
burden. Section 250.171 requests a cost
recovery fee for a Suspension of
Operations or a Production Request
(SOO/SOP). We have not identified any
other non-hour cost burdens associated
with this collection of information. We
estimate a total reporting non-hour cost
burden of $3,268,848.
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: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) 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
collection is necessary or useful; (b)
evaluate the accuracy of the burden of
the proposed collection of information;
