SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Notice to Lessees and/or 

Operators (NTL)—Gulf of Mexico OCS 

Region—GPS (Global Positioning 

System) for MODUs (Mobile Offshore 

Drilling Units). 

OMB Control Number: 1014–0013. 

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 

necessary for the administration of the 

leasing provisions of that Act related to 

mineral resources on the OCS. Such 

rules and regulations will apply to all 

operations conducted under a lease, 

right-of-way, or a right-of-use and 

easement. 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; to 

preserve and maintain free enterprise 

competition; and to ensure that the 

extent of oil and natural gas resources 

of the OCS is assessed at the earliest 

practicable time. Section 43 U.S.C. 

1332(6) states that ‘‘operations in the 

outer Continental Shelf should be 

conducted in a safe manner by welltrained 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.’’ 

To carry out these responsibilities, 

BSEE issues regulations to ensure that 

operations in the OCS will meet 

statutory requirements; provide for 

safety and protect the environment; and 

result in diligent exploration, 

development, and production of OCS 

leases. In addition, we also issue NTLs 

that provide clarification, explanation, 

and interpretation of our regulations. 

These NTLs are used to convey purely 

informational material and to cover 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with 

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 235 / Thursday, December 6, 2012 / Notices 72881 

situations that might not be adequately 

addressed in our regulations. 

The subject of this ICR is an NTL, GPS 

(Global Positioning System) for MODUs 

(Mobile Offshore Drilling Units). This 

NTL requires MODUs to be equipped 

with multiple tracking/location devices 

so that during a storm event (hurricane) 

the respondent, as well as BSEE, will 

have the capability to monitor their 

locations. This NTL also provides BSEE 

GPS data access thereby granting us 

real-time location information as needed 

for the Hurricane Response Team (HRT). 

The primary regulation for this IC is 

30 CFR part 250, Subpart A, approved 

under the OMB Control Number 1014– 

0013. However, in connection with this 

subpart, the burden requirements in the 

NTL are in addition to the currently 

approved paperwork burdens under 

those requirements. 

The information to be collected is 

necessary for BSEE to assess the 

whereabouts of any MODU becoming 

unmoored due to extreme weather 

situations; as well as, to follow the path 

of that facility to determine if other 

facilities/pipelines, etc., were damaged 

in any way. The offshore oil and gas 

industry will use the information to 

determine the safest and quickest way to 

either remove the obstacles or to fix and 

reuse them. 

Regulations at 30 CFR part 250 

implement these statutory requirements. 

The information to be collected is

in any way. The offshore oil and gas 

industry will use the information to 

determine the safest and quickest way to 

either remove the obstacles or to fix and

Responses are required to obtain or 

retain a benefit. No questions of a 

sensitive nature are asked. We will 

protect information considered 

proprietary according to Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its 

implementing regulations (43 CFR part 

2), and 30 CFR 250.197, Data and 

information to be made available to the 

public or for limited inspection. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise Federal oil and 

gas lessees and operators that drill using 

MODUs. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

estimated annual hour burden for this 

IC is a total of 1 hour. The following 

chart details the individual components 

and estimated hour burden. 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.

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified 3 non-hour cost 

burdens associated with the collection 

of information. The non-hour cost 

burdens in this IC total an estimated 

$102,500 and they are: the actual GPS 

device—$325; paying a monthly 

tracking fee for devices physically 

located on a MODU—$50/mo or $600/ 

year; and renting the GPS devices and 

paying a monthly tracking fee totaling— 

$1,800 per year. 

We have not identified any other nonhour 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: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.,) 

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 

collection is necessary or useful; (b) 

evaluate the accuracy 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 

technology. 

To comply with the public 

consultation process, on June 21, 2012, 

we published a Federal Register notice 

(77 FR 37430) announcing that we 

would submit this ICR to OMB for 

approval. The notice provided the 

required 60-day comment period. In 

addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB 

control number for the information 

collection requirements imposed by the 

30 CFR part 250 regulations. The 

regulation also informs the public that 

they may comment at any time on the 

collections of information and provides 

the address to which they should send 

comments. We received no comments in 

response to these efforts.
