SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart D, Oil and Gas Drilling Operations.
    BOEMRE Form(s): MMS-123, MMS-123S, MMS-124, MMS-125, MMS-133, MMS-
133S, and MMS-144.
    OMB Control Number: 1010-0141.
    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 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 1332(6) states that 
``operations in the Outer Continental Shelf should be conducted in a 
safe manner by well trained personnel using technology, precautions, 
and other techniques sufficient to prevent or minimize the likelihood 
of blowouts, loss of well control, fires, spillages, physical 
obstructions 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.''
    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 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 which 
accrue to the public at large. Applications for permits to drill and 
modification approvals are subject to cost recovery, and BOEMRE 
regulations specify service fees for these requests.
    This authority and responsibility are among those delegated to 
BOEMRE. The regulations at 30 CFR 250, subpart D, concern oil and gas 
drilling operations and are the subject of this collection. This 
request also covers the related Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) 
that BOEMRE issues to clarify, supplement, or provide additional 
guidance on some aspects of our regulations.
    Regulations at 30 CFR 250, subpart D, implement these statutory 
requirements. We use the information to ensure safe drilling operations 
and to protect the human, marine, and coastal environment. Among other 
things, BOEMRE specifically uses the information to ensure: The 
drilling unit is fit for the intended purpose; the lessee or operator 
will not encounter geologic conditions that present a hazard to 
operations; equipment is maintained in a state of readiness and meets 
safety standards; each drilling crew is properly trained and able to 
promptly perform well-control activities at any time during well 
operations; compliance with safety standards; and the current 
regulations will provide for safe and proper field or reservoir 
development, resource evaluation, conservation, protection of 
correlative rights, safety, and environmental protection. We also 
review well records to ascertain whether drilling operations have 
encountered hydrocarbons or H2S and to ensure that 
H2S detection equipment, personnel protective equipment, and 
training of the crew are adequate for safe operations in zones known to 
contain H2S and zones where the presence of H2S 
is unknown.
    The following forms are also submitted to BOEMRE under subpart D. 
The forms and their purposes are:

Application for Permit To Drill (APD), Forms MMS-123 and MMS-123S

    BOEMRE uses the information from these forms to determine the 
conditions of a drilling site to avoid hazards inherent in drilling 
operations. Specifically, we use the information to evaluate the 
adequacy of a lessee's plan and equipment for drilling, sidetracking or 
bypass operations. This includes the adequacy of the proposed casing 
design, casing setting depths, drilling fluid (mud), and cementing 
programs to ascertain that the proposed operations will be conducted in 
an operationally safe manner that provides adequate protection for the 
environment. BOEMRE also reviews the information to ensure conformance 
with specific provisions of the lease. In addition, except for 
proprietary data, BOEMRE is required by the OCS Lands Act to make 
available to the public certain

[[Page 21396]]

information submitted on forms MMS-123 and MMS-123S.

Application for Permit To Modify (APM), Form MMS-124

    The information on this form is used to evaluate and approve the 
adequacy of the equipment, materials, and/or procedures that the lessee 
plans to use during such post APD modifications or operations as 
plugging back or temporary abandonment where the well bore will be 
reentered and completed or permanently plugged. In addition, except for 
proprietary data, BOEMRE is required by the OCS Lands Act to make 
available to the public certain information submitted on form MMS-124.

End of Operations Report, Form MMS-125

    BOEMRE uses this information to ensure that we have accurate and 
up-to-date data and information on wells and leasehold activities under 
our jurisdiction and to ensure compliance with approved plans and any 
conditions placed upon a suspension or temporary prohibition. It is 
also used to evaluate the remedial action in the event of well 
equipment failure or well control loss. Form MMS-125 is updated and 
resubmitted in the event the well status changes. The information keeps 
us aware of the status of drilling and completion operations. In 
addition, except for proprietary data, BOEMRE is required by the OCS 
Lands Act to make available to the public certain information submitted 
on form MMS-125.

Well Activity Report, Forms MMS-133 and MMS-133S

    BOEMRE uses this information to monitor the conditions of a well 
and status of drilling operations. We review the information to be 
aware of the well conditions and current drilling activity (i.e., well 
depth, drilling fluid weight, casing types and setting depths, 
completed well logs, and recent safety equipment tests and drills). The 
engineer uses this information to determine how accurately the lessee 
anticipated well conditions and if the lessee is following the approved 
APD. The information is also used for review of an APM (form MMS-124). 
With the information collected on form MMS-133 available, the reviewers 
can analyze the proposed revisions (i.e., revised grade of casing or 
deeper casing setting depth) and make a quick and informed decision on 
the request. In addition, except for proprietary data, BOEMRE is 
required by the OCS Lands Act to make available to the public certain 
information submitted on forms MMS-133 and MMS-133S.

Rig Movement Notification Report, Form MMS-144

    As activity increased over the years in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), 
the rig notification requirement became essential for BOEMRE inspection 
scheduling and has become a standard condition of approval for certain 
permits. BOEMRE needs the information on Form MMS-144 to schedule 
inspections and verify that the equipment being used complies with 
approved permits. In reporting rig movements respondents have the 
option of submitting the form or using a Web-based system for 
electronic data submissions. The information on this form is used 
primarily in the GOM to ascertain the precise arrival and departure of 
all rigs in OCS waters in the GOM. The accurate location of these rigs 
is necessary to facilitate the scheduling of inspections by BOEMRE 
personnel.
    It is noted that the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) also requires 
notification of rig movement and that there is some duplication of 
information reported. Therefore, there are some data elements in the 
form that are ``optional'' for BOEMRE reporting purposes, since we do 
not need this information. These optional data elements in the form 
satisfy any concerns in reporting rig movement information to both 
BOEMRE and the USCG.
    Out of the seven forms associated with this collection, we have 
made some minor editorial changes for clarity purposes to forms MMS-123 
and MMS-123S and we have added plug information to be submitted via 
form MMS-125. The information is on the schematic that is submitted as 
an attachment to the form.
    We will protect proprietary information according to 30 CFR 
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,'' and the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 
552) and its implementing regulations (43 CFR 2). No items of a 
sensitive nature are collected. Responses are mandatory.
    Frequency: Frequency of response is generally on occasion, weekly, 
monthly, semi-annually, annually, and varies by section.
    Description of Respondents: Potential respondents comprise Federal 
oil, gas, or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
    Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The currently 
approved annual reporting burden for this collection is 147,014 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.

* The hour burdens are an average of the estimate due to the fact that a large percentage of the submittals are
  reported electronically, which in some cases takes less time than the percentage of the submittals that are
  reported in paper form.

    Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: The 
currently approved non-hour cost burden for this collection is 
$1,789,340. We have identified two non-hour cost burdens. Section 
250.410(d) requires a fee ($1,959) for an APD. Section 250.460 requires 
a fee ($116) for an APM the drilling application. We have not 
identified any other non-hour paperwork 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: Before submitting an ICR to OMB, PRA section 
3506(c)(2)(A) 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 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the agency to 
perform its duties, including whether the information is useful; (b) 
evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate 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 automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
    Agencies must also estimate the non-hour paperwork cost burdens to 
respondents or recordkeepers resulting from the collection of 
information. Therefore, if you have costs to generate, maintain, and 
disclose this information, you should comment and provide your total 
capital and startup cost components or annual operation, maintenance, 
and purchase of service components. You should describe the methods you 
use to estimate major cost factors, including system and technology 
acquisition, expected useful life of capital equipment, discount 
rate(s), and the period over which you incur costs. Capital and startup 
costs include, among other items, computers and software you purchase 
to prepare for collecting information, monitoring, and record storage 
facilities. You should not include estimates for equipment or services 
purchased: (i) Before October 1, 1995; (ii) to comply with requirements 
not associated with the information collection; (iii) for reasons other 
than to provide information or keep records for the Government; or (iv) 
as part of customary and usual business or private practices.
    We will summarize written responses to this notice and address them 
in our submission for OMB approval. As a result of your comments, we 
will make any necessary adjustments to the burden in our submission to 
OMB.
    Public Comment Procedures: Before including your address, phone 
number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available 
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your 
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
