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; to
preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition; and to ensure that the
extent of oil and natural gas resources
of the OCS is assessed at the earliest
practicable time. Section 43 U.S.C.
1332(6) states that ‘‘operations in the
outer Continental Shelf should be
conducted in a safe manner by welltrained 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.’’
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 also issue NTLs
that provide clarification, explanation,
and interpretation of our regulations.
These NTLs are used to convey purely
informational material and to cover

situations that might not be adequately
addressed in our regulations.
The subject of this ICR is an NTL, GPS
(Global Positioning System) for MODUs
(Mobile Offshore Drilling Units). This
NTL requires MODUs to be equipped
with multiple tracking/location devices
so that during a storm event (hurricane)
the respondent, as well as BSEE, will
have the capability to monitor their
locations. This NTL also provides BSEE
GPS data access thereby granting us
real-time location information as needed
for the Hurricane Response Team (HRT).
The primary regulation for this IC is
30 CFR part 250, Subpart A, approved
under the OMB Control Number 1014–
0013. However, in connection with this
subpart, the burden requirements in the
NTL are in addition to the currently
approved paperwork burdens under
those requirements.
The information to be collected is
necessary for BSEE to assess the
whereabouts of any MODU becoming

unmoored due to extreme weather
situations; as well as, to follow the path
of that facility to determine if other
facilities/pipelines, etc., were damaged
in any way. The offshore oil and gas
industry will use the information to
determine the safest and quickest way to
either remove the obstacles or to fix and
reuse them.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 250
implement these statutory requirements.

proprietary according to Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and 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.
Frequency: On occasion.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal oil and
gas lessees and operators that drill using
MODUs.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
IC is a total of 1 hour. The following
chart details the individual components
and estimated hour burden. 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.

20 devices per year for replacement and/or new x $325.00 = $6,500.

3—Pay monthly tracking fee for GPS devices already
placed on MODUs/rig.

40 rigs at $50/month = $600/year = $24,000.

4—Rent GPS devices and pay monthly tracking fee per

on the respondents, including the use of
technology.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on June 21, 2012,
we published a Federal Register notice
(77 FR 37430) 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 received no comments in
response to these efforts.
