(a) The current OMB inventory
for this collection is 87,628 burden hours. In this submission, we
are requesting a total of 160,842 burden hours. This represents an
adjustment increase of 69,166 burden hours. The adjustment increase
is due to relocating hour burdens from multiple separate subparts
(ICRs) throughout 30 CFR 250 created from the original BOP rule
(1014-AA11). This also represents a program increase of 4,048
burden hours due to this final rulemaking, 1014-AA39, Blowout
Preventer Systems and Well Control Revisions. (b) The OMB non-hour
cost burden is an adjustment increase of $102,500 and also comes
from multiple subparts throughout 30 CFR 250 that were approved in
other ICRs. In this submission, we are requesting a total of
$867,500. This represents a program increase of $765,000 for
Independent Third Party costs being added due to this final
rulemaking, 1014-AA39, Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control
Revisions.
