SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart I, Platforms 

and Structures. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0149. 

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 

(Secretary) to prescribe rules and 

regulations to manage the mineral 

resources of the OCS. Such rules and 

regulations will apply to all operations 

conducted under a lease, right-of-use 

and easement, and pipeline right-ofway. 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. 

Section 43 U.S.C. 1356 requires the 

issuance of ‘‘* * * regulations which 

require that any vessel, rig, platform, or 

other vehicle or structure * * * (2) 

which is used for activities pursuant to 

this subchapter, comply * * * with 

such minimum standards of design, 

construction, alteration, and repair as 

the Secretary * * * establishes * * * .’’ 

Section 43 U.S.C. 1332(6) also states, 

‘‘operations in the [O]uter Continental 

Shelf should be conducted in a safe 

manner * * * to prevent or minimize 

the likelihood of * * * physical 

obstruction to other users of the water 

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 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, BOEMRE 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 at large. 

Platform applications are subject to cost 

recovery, and BOEMRE regulations 

specify service fees for these requests. 

These authorities and responsibilities 

are among those delegated to BOEMRE 

to ensure that operations in the OCS 

will meet statutory requirements; 

provide for safety and protection of the 

environment; and result in diligent 

exploration, development, and 

production of OCS leases. This ICR 

addresses the regulations at 30 CFR 250, 

Subpart I, Platforms and Structures, and 

the associated supplementary notices to 

lessees and operators (NTLs) intended 

to provide clarification, description, or 

explanation of these regulations. 

Regulations at 30 CFR 250 implement 

these statutory requirements. We use the 

information submitted under Subpart I 

to determine the structural integrity of 

all offshore platforms and floating 

production facilities and to ensure that 

such integrity will be maintained 

throughout the useful life of these 

structures. We use the information to 

ascertain, on a case-by-case basis, that 

the fixed and floating platforms and 

structures are structurally sound and 

safe for their intended use to ensure 

safety of personnel and pollution 

prevention. More specifically, the 

information is used to: 

• Review data concerning damage to 

a platform to assess the adequacy of 

proposed repairs. 

• Review plans for platform 

construction (construction is divided 

into three phases–design, fabrication, 

and installation) to ensure the structural 

integrity of the platform. 

• Review verification plans and 

reports for unique platforms to ensure 

that all nonstandard situations are given 

proper consideration during the design, 

fabrication, and installation phases of 

platform construction. 

• Review platform design, fabrication, 

and installation records to ensure that 

the platform is constructed according to 

approved plans. 

• Review inspection reports to ensure 

that platform integrity is maintained for 

the life of the platform. 

We will protect information from 

respondents considered proprietary 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing 

regulations (43 CFR part 2) and under 

regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, Data and 

information to be made available to the 

public or for limited inspection. No 

items of a sensitive nature are collected. 

Responses are mandatory. 

Frequency: On occasion, annual. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise Federal oil, gas, 

or sulphur lessees and/or operators, 

their certified verification agents 

(CVAs), and third-party reviewers. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

currently approved annual reporting 

burden for this collection is 108,933 

hours. The following chart details the 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR 250, subpart E, Oil and 

Gas Well-Completion Operations. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0067. 

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Lands Act, 43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq. 

and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq., requires the 

Secretary of the Interior to preserve, 

protect, and develop oil and gas 

resources in the OCS 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 resources 

development with protection of the 

human, marine, and coastal 

environment; ensure the public a fair 

and equitable return on OCS resources; 

and preserve and maintain free 

enterprise competition. Section 1332(6) 

of the OCS Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1332) 

requires 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 the likelihood of 

blowouts, loss of well control, fires, 

spillages, physical obstruction to other 

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.’’ 

This authority and responsibility are 

among those delegated to BOEMRE. To 

carry out these responsibilities, 

BOEMRE issues regulations governing 

oil and gas and sulphur operations in 

the OCS. This ICR addresses the 30 CFR 

250, subpart E, regulations 

implementing these responsibilities. 

BOEMRE analyzes and evaluates the 

information and data collected to ensure 

that planned well-completion 

operations will protect personnel and 

natural resources. They use the analysis 

and evaluation results in the decision to 

approve, disapprove, or require 

modification to the proposed wellcompletion operations. Specifically, 

BOEMRE uses the information to 

ensure: (a) Compliance with personnel 

safety training requirements; (b) crown 

block safety device is operating and can 

be expected to function to avoid 

accidents; (c) proposed operation of the 

annular preventer is technically correct 

and provides adequate protection for 

personnel, property, and natural 

resources; (d) well-completion 

operations are conducted on well 

casings that are structurally competent; 

and (e) sustained casing pressures are 

within acceptable limits. 

Subpart E was revised by rulemaking 

that became effective June 3, 2010 (75 

FR 23582), and addresses the 

procedures and requirements necessary 

to monitor, report, and ameliorate 

sustained casing pressure (SCP) 

conditions. BOEMRE uses the 

information to determine whether 

production from wells with SCP 

continues to afford the greatest possible 

degree of safety under these conditions 

and to require corrective action in 

specified cases that pose an ongoing 

safety hazard. 

Responses are mandatory. No 

questions of a sensitive nature are 

asked. BOEMRE protects information 

considered proprietary according to 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552) and its implementing regulations 

(43 CFR 2), and 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data 

and information to be made available to 

the public or for limited inspection.’’ 

Frequency: Varies by section, but is 

mostly on occasion or annual. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise 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 

41,879 hours. The following chart
