SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Legacy Data Verification Process
(LDVP)—NTL (formerly known as
Historical Well Data Cleanup).
OMB Control Number: 1014–0009.
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 necessary for the
administration of the leasing provisions
of the Act related to the mineral
resources on 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.
The OCSLA at 43 U.S.C. 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 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.’’
BSEE’s Legacy Data Verification
Process (LDVP) requests operators to
supply missing data or corrected data
for wells drilled prior to January 2000
that do not have an assigned API
number. This notice announces our
intention to request a 3-year extension
for this information collection.
The information we collect under this
NTL, is missing data for wellbores that
BSEE has not assigned API numbers and
other well data discovered as missing
while completing the well database
cleanup. We are not able to manage and
utilize data from drilling operations
accurately without the information for
the missing wells. We will use the
information to identify other well data
(e.g., logs, surveys, tests) missing from
our records, geologically map existing
BSEE data to the correct wellbore/
location, and correctly exchange
information with the operators and
industry. Our geoscientists can use the
information to evaluate resources for
lease sales for fair market value. With
respect to safety concerns, we believe
that there may be anywhere from 1,500
to 4,500 unidentified completed and
abandoned wellbores (bypasses and
sidetracks), some of which may contain
stuck drill pipe or other materials. In
approving permits and other operations
in an area, it is important for us to know
what may be adjacent to or near the
vicinity of the activity we are approving
to minimize the risk of blowouts, loss of
well control, and endangerment to life,
health, and the environment. This is
particularly important as, over the years,
the number of wells drilled constantly

increases, thereby increasing the risk to
adjacent activities if operators are not
aware of what might be in the area.
We will protect information
respondents submit that is considered
proprietary under the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), its
implementing regulations (43 CFR part
2), and 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.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal OCS oil,
gas, and sulphur lessees.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 11,250
hours for approximately 4,500 wells,
based on:
(1) 0.5 hours to locate and copy a
summary of drilling operations (e.g.,
scout tickets) for each well; and
(2) 2 hours to retrieve and analyze
each well file and retrieve other missing
data. There are no recordkeeping
requirements.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified no paperwork nonhour cost burdens 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
collection is necessary or useful; (b)
evaluate the accuracy 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
on the respondents, including the use of
technology.
Agencies must also estimate the nonhour paperwork cost burdens to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting
from the collection of information.
Therefore, if you have other than hour
burden 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. For further
information on this burden, refer to 5
CFR 1320.3(b)(1) and (2), or contact the
Bureau representative listed previously
in this notice.
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 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 us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
