Title:
Legacy Data Verification Process
(LDVP).
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
to prescribe rules and regulations to
administer leasing of the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease.
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.’’

30-Day notice.

To comply with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), we are notifying the public that
we have submitted to OMB an
information collection request (ICR) to
renew approval of the paperwork
requirements for the Notice to Lessees
(NTL) on the Legacy Data Verification
Process (LDVP). This notice also
provides the public a second

delegated to the Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement (BSEE).
To carry out these responsibilities,
BSEE issues regulations to ensure that
operations in the OCS will meet
statutory requirements; provide for
safety and protect the environment; and
result in diligent exploration,
development, and production of OCS
leases. In addition, we issue Notices to
Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that
provide clarification, explanation, and
interpretation of our regulations. These
NTLs are also used to convey purely
informational material and to cover
situations that might not be addressed
in our regulations. The latter is the case
for this information collection. Because
of the unusual nature of this
information collection, issuing an NTL
is the appropriate means to collect the
information.
The subject of this information
collection request is the ‘‘Legacy Data
Verification Process (LDVP),’’ formerly
known as the ‘‘Historical Well Data
Cleanup Program (HWDC).’’ It needs to
be stressed that the information we are
collecting is information that
respondents are required to submit
under regulations at 30 CFR part 250,
subpart D. However, in the past we did
not always enforce this regulatory
requirement for certain wellbores for
several reasons. We did not foresee the
value of this information for all
wellbores, nor did we anticipate that not
having the information would later
create problems for the agency and
others. We also did not have a
sophisticated electronic database that
could handle the information. The
LDVP IC is found in § 250.467(c). These
are the records that the lessee must keep
until the well is abandoned. The
collection is also looking for any records
that should have been submitted to
BSEE but are not in BSEE’s inventory.
The key to this collection is that BSEE
wants to know the location of all the
wellbores, specifically:
—Records of well completion or
workover activities that materially
alter the completion configuration or
affect a hydrocarbon-bearing zone—
§ 250.467(c),
—Well logs and surveys run in the
wellbore—§ 250.468(a),
—Directional surveys—§ 250.468(a),
—Service company reports on
cementing, perforating, acidizing,
testing, or other similar reports—
§ 250.469(c).
We now collect all of the required
information on a current basis (under 30
CFR part 250, subpart D, OMB Control
Number 1014–0018). Prior assurance to
respondents that providing the

information in connection with this
process will not subject them to the
penalties for not providing the
information is still in place. We are
requesting a renewal of this collection to
allow operators more response time over
a longer period to provide the missing
or corrected data.
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.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal OCS oil,
gas, and sulphur lessees.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated hour burden for this
information collection is a total of 417
annual burden hours. The respondents
will submit information for a remaining
estimated 500 wells from an original
40,000 wells. Based on our own input,
the concurrence of the contractor hired
for this, and informal discussions with
a few potential respondents, we
estimate it will take respondents 0.5
hours to locate and copy scout tickets
for each well and 2.0 hours to retrieve
and analyze each well file over a 3-year
timeframe (2.5 hours × 500 wells—
1,250/3 = 417 annual burden hours
(rounded)).
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.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified no non-hour cost
burdens associated with the collection
of information.
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;
(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.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on May 14, 2012,
we published a Federal Register notice
(77 FR 28401) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In
addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB
control number for the information
collection requirements imposed by the
30 CFR part 250 regulations. The
regulation also informs the public that
they may comment at any time on the
collections of information and provides
the address to which they should send
comments. We have received no
comments in response to this effort.
Public Availability of Comments:
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.

Abstract: The Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, as amended by the Oil
