request additional information about
this ICR.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR part 250, subpart B,
Plans and Information.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0024.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1334), authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior to prescribe rules and
regulations necessary for the
administration of the leasing provisions
of that act related to mineral resources
on the OCS. Such rules and regulations
will apply to all operations conducted
under a lease, right-of-use and
easement, or unit. 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.
In addition to the general rulemaking
authority of the OCSLA at 43 U.S.C.
1334, section 301(a) of the Federal Oil
and Gas Royalty Management Act
(FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants
authority to the Secretary to prescribe
such rules and regulations as are
reasonably necessary to carry out
FOGRMA’s provisions. While the
majority of FOGRMA is directed to
royalty collection and enforcement,
some provisions apply to offshore
operations. For example, section 108 of
FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1718, grants the
Secretary broad authority to inspect
lease sites for the purpose of
determining whether there is
compliance with the mineral leasing
laws. Section 109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30
U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) and (d)(1), impose
substantial civil penalties for failure to
permit lawful inspections and for
knowing or willful preparation or
submission of false, inaccurate, or
misleading reports, records, or other
information. Because the Secretary has
delegated some of the authority under
FOGRMA to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is
included as additional authority for
these requirements.
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. Under the Department

PO 00000

Frm 00135

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

of the Interior’s implementing policy,
the Bureau of Safety and Environmental
Enforcement (BSEE) is required to
charge fees for services that provide
special benefits or privileges to an
identifiable non-Federal recipient above
and beyond those which accrue to the
public at large. Deepwater Operations
Plans are subject to cost recovery, and
BSEE regulations specify a service fee
for this request.
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are among those
delegated to BSEE. The regulations
under 30 CFR 250, Subpart B, pertain to
plans and information that are either
submitted to BSEE and/or reviewed by
BSEE.
We use the information under
§ 250.282, we analyze the information to
verify that an ongoing/completed OCS
operation is/was conducted in
compliance with established
environmental standards placed on the
activity. Under §§ 250.286–295 we
analyze and evaluate the information to
ensure that planned operations are safe;
will not adversely affect the marine,
coastal, or human environment; and
will conserve the resources of the OCS.
We use the information to make an
informed decision on whether to
approve the proposed deepwater
operations plans (DWOPs), or whether
modifications are necessary without the
analysis and evaluation of the required
information.
No questions of a sensitive nature are
asked. We protect proprietary
information according to the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and
DOI’s implementing regulations (43 CFR
2); 30 CFR 250.197, Data and
information to be made available to the
public or for limited inspection; and 30
CFR part 252, OCS Oil and Gas
Information Program. Responses are
mandatory or are required to obtain or
retain a benefit.
Frequency: On occasion.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal oil, gas,
or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 18,256
hours. In this submission, we are
requesting a total of 37,084 burden
hours and $39,589 non-hour cost
burdens. The following chart details the
individual components and respective
hour burden estimates of this ICR. 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 one non-hour cost
associated with this ICR; DWOP’s
($3,599) under § 250.292, and estimate
that the total annual non-hour cost
burden is $39,589. We have not
identified any other non-hour cost
burdens associated with this 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: 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.
