public and affected agencies concerning
each proposed collection of information
. . .’’ BOEM now requests comments to:
(a) Evaluate whether the collection is
necessary or useful; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the burden estimates; (c)
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the information to be

• BOEM–0127, Sensitive Reservoir
Information Report;
• BOEM–0140, Bottomhole Pressure
Survey Report;
• BOEM–1123, Designation of
Operator; and
• BOEM–1832, Notification of
Incidents of Non-Compliance.
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.
Operations in 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; balance
orderly energy resource development
with protection of human, marine, and
coastal environments; ensure the public
a fair and equitable return on the
resources of the OCS; and preserve and
maintain free enterprise competition.
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 techniques sufficient
to prevent or minimize . . . loss of well
control . . . physical obstructions to
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.’’
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 Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A–25 authorize
Federal agencies to recover the full cost
of services that confer special benefits.
Under the Department of the Interior’s
(DOI) implementing policy, the Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is
required to charge fees for services that
provide special benefits or privileges to
an identifiable non-Federal recipient
above and beyond those that accrue to
the public.
This ICR covers 30 CFR 550, Subpart
A, General, and Subpart K, Oil and Gas
Production Requirements, which deal
with regulatory requirements of oil, gas,
and sulphur operations on the OCS.
This request also covers the related
Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs)
that BOEM issues to clarify and provide
guidance on some aspects of our
regulations, and forms BOEM–0127,

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:48 Nov 28, 2016

Jkt 241001

BOEM–0140, BOEM–1123, and BOEM–
1832.
The BOEM uses the information
collected under the Subpart A and K
regulations to ensure that operations in
the OCS are carried out in a safe and
environmentally sound manner, do not
interfere with the rights of other users
in the OCS, and balance the protection
and development of OCS resources.
Specifically, we use the information
collected to:
• Determine the capability of a well
to produce oil or gas in paying
quantities or to determine the possible
need for additional wells resulting in
minimum royalty status on a lease.
• Provide lessees/operators greater
flexibility to comply with regulatory
requirements through approval of
alternative equipment or procedures
and departures if they demonstrate
equal or better compliance with the
appropriate performance standards.
• Ensure that subsurface storage of
natural gas does not unduly interfere
with development and production
operations under existing leases.
• Record the designation of an
operator authorized to act on behalf of
the lessee/operating rights owner and to
fulfill their obligations under the OCS
Lands Act and implementing
regulations, or to record the local agent
empowered to receive notices and
comply with regulatory orders issued
(Form BOEM–1123, Designation of
Operator). This form requires the
respondent to submit general
information such as lease number,
name, address, company number of
designated operator, and signature of
the authorized lessee and designated
operator. With this renewal, BOEM is
adding a signature line for the
designated operator. We also updated
the form instructions by removing
references to the Gulf of Mexico, so this
form can be used nationally.
• Determine if an application for
right-of-use and easement complies with
the OCS Lands Act, other applicable
laws, and BOEM regulations; and does
not unreasonably interfere with the
operations of any other lessee.
• Provide for orderly development or
disqualification of leases to determine
the appropriateness of lessee/operator
performance.
• Approve requests to cancel leases
and ascertain if/when the Secretary may
cancel leases.
• Ensure the protection of any
discovered archaeological resources.
• Regulate production rates from
sensitive reservoirs (Form BOEM–0127,

PO 00000

Frm 00090

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

86009

Sensitive Reservoir Information Report).
BOEM engineers and geologists use the
information for rate control and
reservoir studies. The form requests
general information about the reservoir
and the company, volumetric data, and
fluid analysis and production data.
• Manage reservoirs in our efforts to
conserve natural resources, prevent
waste, and protect correlative rights,
including the Government’s royalty
interest (Form BOEM–0140, Bottomhole
Pressure Survey Report). Specifically,
BOEM uses the information in reservoir
evaluations to determine maximum
production and efficient rates and to
review applications for downhole
commingling to ensure that action does
not harm ultimate recovery or
undervalued royalties. The form
requests information about the well and
operator; test data information such as
shut-in time, bottomhole temperature,
kelly bushing elevation; and bottomhole
pressure points that consist of measured
depth(s), true vertical depth(s),
pressure(s), and pressure gradient(s).
• Determine that respondents have
corrected any Incidents of NonCompliance (INCs), Form BOEM–1832,
identified during compliance reviews.
The BOEM issues this form to the
operator and the operator then corrects
the INC(s), signs and returns the form to
the BOEM Regional Supervisor.
We will protect proprietary
information according to the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), its
implementing regulations (43 CFR 2), 30
CFR 252, and 30 CFR 550.197, ‘‘Data
and information to be made available to
the public or for limited inspection.’’
Proprietary information concerning
geological and geophysical data will be
protected according to 43 U.S.C. 1352.
No items of a sensitive nature are
collected. Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: Primarily on occasion;
monthly.
Description of Respondents: Federal
oil and gas and sulphur lessees/
operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
collection is 30,635 hours. The
following table 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 have identified two non-hour cost
burdens. Section 550.143 requires a fee
for a change in designation of operator
($175). Section 550.165 requires a State
lessee applying for a right-of use and
