Abstract: CIPSEA provides strong confidentiality protection for information acquired for statistical purposes under a pledge of confidentiality. CIPSEA Guidance from the Office of Management and Budget advises that a nonstatistical agency or unit (BSEE) that wishes to acquire information with CIPSEA protection may consider entering into an agreement with a Federal statistical agency or unit (BTS). BTS and BSEE have determined that it is in the public interest to collect and process the blowout preventer (BOP) failure reports required by 30 CFR 250.730(c), safety and pollution prevention equipment (SPPE) failure reports required by 30 CFR 250.803, or other data deemed necessary to administer BSEE’s safety program pertaining to barrier failures under a pledge of confidentiality for statistical purposes only. BTS has agreed through an MOU with BSEE to undertake the information collection identified in the BSEE notices for OMB Control Numbers 1014–0028 and 1014–0003 in order to ensure the confidentiality of submissions under CIPSEA. Since this information collection is limited to the establishment of BTS as an authorized repository for the previously approved information collections (OMB Control Number 1014–0028, expiration 04/30/ 2019, and OMB Control Number 1014– 0003, expiration 08/31/2019), this information collection request does not create any additional burden for respondents.
