Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart S, Safety
and Environmental Management
Systems (SEMS).
Form(s): BSEE–0131.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0017.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act at 43 U.S.C. 1334
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) 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. 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. These
responsibilities are among those
delegated to the Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement (BSEE).
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

PO 00000

Frm 00088

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

63585

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.
Regulations governing Safety and
Environmental Management Systems
(SEMS) are covered in 30 CFR 250,
subpart S and are the subject of this
collection.
Information on Form BSEE–0131
includes company identification,
number of company/contractor injuries
and/or illnesses suffered, company/
contractor hours worked, EPA National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit noncompliances, and
oil spill volumes for spills less than 1
barrel. All pieces of information are
reported annually as collected during 1
calendar year and the information
broken out quarterly. The information is
used to develop industry average
incident rates that help to describe how
well the offshore oil and gas industry is
performing. Using the produced data
allows BSEE to better focus our
regulatory and research programs on
areas where the performance measures
indicate that operators are having
difficulty meeting our expectations.
BSEE will be more effective in
leveraging resources by redirecting
research efforts, promoting appropriate
regulatory initiatives, and shifting
inspection program emphasis based on
performance results.
In this ICR we have removed form
BSEE–0130. BSEE has found that there
have been no instances of organizations
using form BSEE–0130 and that
equivalent information can be submitted
by organizations following the
instructions in § 250.1922(a)(1), ‘‘. . .
submit documentation to BSEE
describing the process for assessing an
ASP for accreditation and approving,
maintaining, and withdrawing the
accreditation of an ASP.’’ BSEE’s Office
of Offshore Regulatory Programs will
then review the information, request
other supporting documents as needed,
and propose terms of BSEE oversight, in
order to ensure conformance with the
entirety of § 250.1922. Therefore, BSEE
believes the intent of the form BSEE–
0130 is already incorporated in the
regulations and will remove the

E:\FR\FM\20OCN1.SGM

20OCN1

63586

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 202 / Tuesday, October 20, 2015 / Notices

duplicate information collection burden
represented by form BSEE–0130.
Therefore, since the requirement
remains the same, removal of the form
does not constitute a program change.
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are among those
delegated to BSEE.
Responses are mandatory. No
questions of a sensitive nature are
asked. BSEE protects information
considered proprietary under the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and DOI’s implementing
regulations (43 CFR 2), and under
regulations at 30 CFR part 250.197, Data
and information to be made available to
the public or for limited inspection, 30
CFR part 252, OCS Oil and Gas
Information Program.
The information collected under
subpart S is critical for us to monitor
industry’s operations record of safety
and environmental management of the
OCS. The subpart S regulations hold the

operator accountable for the overall
safety of the offshore facility, including
ensuring that all employees, contractors,
and subcontractors have safety policies
and procedures in place that support the
implementation of the operator’s SEMS
program and align with the principles of
managing safety. The SEMS program
describes management commitment to
safety and the environment, as well as
policies and procedures to assure safety
and environmental protection while
conducting OCS operations (including
those operations conducted by all
personnel on the facility). BSEE will use
the information obtained by submittals
and observed via SEMS audits to ensure
that operations on the OCS are
conducted safely, as they pertain to both
human and environmental factors, and
in accordance with BSEE regulations, as
well as industry practices. The ultimate
work authority (UWA) and other
recordkeeping will be reviewed

diligently by BSEE during inspections/
audits, etc., to ensure that industry is
correctly implementing the
documentation and that the
requirements are being followed
properly.
Frequency: On occasion and as
required by regulations.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise OCS Federal oil,
gas, or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
information collection is a total of
2,238,164 hours. The following chart
details the individual components and
estimated hour burdens. 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.

* We calculated operators conducting 50 JSAs a day (25 JSAs for each 12 hour shift). Some contractors may perform none for a particular
day, whereas others may conduct more than 50 per day. This estimate is an average. Also, in Alaska, the Alaska Safety Handbook or ASH is
followed on the North Slope, which is a book containing both safety standards and the permit to work process for North Slope operations. The
ASH includes work permits which include a hazards analysis and mitigation measures section on the back of the permit.
+ In the future, BSEE may require electronic filing of some submissions.

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified four non-hour cost
burdens associated with the collection
of information for a total of $5,220,000.
They are as follows:
§ 250.1925(a)—Pay for all costs
associated with a BSEE directed audit
due to deficiencies.
§ 250.1920(a)—ASP audits conducted
for High, Moderate, and Low Activity
Operator.
We have not identified any other nonhour 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: 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 July 8, 2015,
we published a Federal Register notice
(80 FR 39152) 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 250, subpart S regulations and
form. 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
