SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR part 254, Oil-Spill
Response Requirements for Facilities
Located Seaward of the Coast Line.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0007.
Abstract: Section 2(b)(3) of E.O. 12777
delegated to the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) those responsibilities under
section 311(j)(1)(C) of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act (FWPCA)
(October 18, 1991; 56 FR 54757),
requiring the Secretary to establish
procedures, methods, and requirements
for equipment to prevent and contain
discharges of oil and hazardous
substances from offshore facilities,
including associated pipelines. Under
section 2(d)(3) of E.O. 12777, section
311(j)(5) of FWPCA, and section
4202(b)(4) of OPA, the Secretary is
required to issue regulations requiring
the owners or operators of offshore
facilities, including associated
pipelines, to prepare and submit
response plans that ensure the
availability of private spill-response
personnel and equipment and to permit
the operation of offshore facilities,
including associated pipelines, without
approved response plans if certain
conditions are met. Under section
2(e)(3) of E.O. 12777 and section
311(j)(6)(A) of FWPCA, the Secretary
must require periodic inspections of
containment booms and equipment
used to remove discharges at offshore
facilities, including associated
pipelines. The Secretary has redelegated
these responsibilities to the Director,
BSEE.
The FWPCA, as amended by the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), requires
that a spill-response plan be submitted

for offshore facilities prior to February
18, 1993. The OPA specifies that after
that date, an offshore facility may not
handle, store, or transport oil unless a
plan has been submitted. Regulations at
30 CFR 254 establish requirements for
spill-response plans for oil-handling
facilities seaward of the coast line,
including associated pipelines.
To provide supplementary guidance
and procedures, BSEE issues Notices to
Lessees and Operators (NTLs) on a
regional or National basis. Regulation 30
CFR 250.103 allows BSEE to issue NTLs
to clarify, supplement, or provide more
detail about certain requirements.
Additional guidance pertaining to OilSpill Response Requirements is
provided by NTLs when needed.
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are among those
delegated to BSEE. The regulations
under 30 CFR 254 pertain to preparation
and submittal of response plans that
ensure the availability of private-spill
response personnel and equipment.
We use the information collected
under 30 CFR 254 to determine
compliance with OPA by lessees/
operators. Specifically, BSEE needs the
information to:
• Determine that lessees/operators
have an adequate plan and are
sufficiently prepared to implement a
quick and effective response to a
discharge of oil from their facilities or
operations.
• Review plans prepared under the
regulations of a State and submitted to
BSEE to satisfy the requirements in 30
CFR 254 to ensure that they meet
minimum requirements of OPA.
• Verify that personnel involved in
oil-spill response are properly trained
and familiar with the requirements of
the spill-response plans and to lead and
witness spill-response exercises.
• Assess the sufficiency and
availability of contractor equipment and
materials.
• Verify that sufficient quantities of
equipment are available and in working
order.
• Oversee spill-response efforts and
maintain official records of pollution
events.
• Assess the efforts of lessees/
operators to prevent oil spills or prevent
substantial threats of such discharges.
No questions of a sensitive nature are
asked. Generally, no proprietary
information is collected under 30 CFR
254. However, if respondents did
submit proprietary information, we
protect such information under the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and DOI’s implementing
regulations (43 CFR 2), 30 CFR 250.197,

252, ‘‘Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil
and Gas Information Program.’’
Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: The frequencies of
responses are on occasion, monthly,
annually, and biennially and as a result
of situations encountered depending
upon the requirements.

Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal oil, gas,

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.

Total Hour Burden .............................................................................................................................

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified no non-hour 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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

15:17 May 28, 2015

Jkt 235001

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.
