Departmental guidelines reflecting the 

implementation of the Federal 

Information Security Management Act. 

PHYSICAL SECURITY: 

Each geographic location is physically 

secured by entry access cards. When 

data is not in use by authorized 

personnel, paper and microfiche records 

are stored in locked file cabinets or in 

secured rooms. Electronically stored 

records are protected from unauthorized 

access through use of access codes, 

entry logs, and other system-based 

protection methods. The computer 

servers in which records are stored are 

located in computer facilities that are 

secured by alarm systems and off-master 

key access. A Privacy Act Warning 

Notice appears where records 

containing information on individuals 

are stored or displayed. Backup tapes 

are stored in a locked and controlled 

room in a secure, off-site location. 

ADMINISTRATIVE SECURITY: 

Only persons with need to access 

these files to accomplish their work are 

able to access them. All Departmental 

and/or contract employees must 

undergo mandatory records, security, 

and IT training before access is granted, 

and annually thereafter. They also sign 

Rules of Behavior that include proper 

use and safeguarding of information in 

systems before having access to agency 

systems. Such rules apply to be 

contractors and regular Departmental 

employees. Finally, all work on this 

system occurs in government offices 

with appropriate supervision by Federal 

employees. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records will be disposed of in 

accordance with the National Archives 

and Records Administration (NARA) 

Records Schedule for these records, 

7558.4, which was approved by NARA 

June 5, 2009 under its job number N1– 

048–09–2. That schedule states: 

‘‘Destroy 7 years after cut-off or when no 

longer needed, whichever is later.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart A, 

General–NTL–Gulf of Mexico OCS 

Region–GPS (Global Positioning 

System) for Mobile Offshore Drilling 

Units (MODUs). 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0177. 

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 administer leasing of the 

OCS. Such rules and regulations 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; to 

preserve and maintain free enterprise 

competition; and to ensure that the 

extent of oil and natural gas resources 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 185 / Friday, September 25, 2009 / Notices 49007 

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, the 

Minerals Management Service (MMS) 

issues regulations to ensure that 

operations in the OCS 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 Notices to Lessees (NTLs) 

that provide clarification, explanation, 

and interpretation of our regulations. 

These NTLs are used to convey purely 

informational material and to cover 

situations that might not be adequately 

addressed in our regulations. 

Regulations at 30 CFR part 250 

implement these statutory requirements. 

The MMS uses the information 

collected from these requirements to 

assess the whereabouts of any Mobile 

Offshore Drilling Unit (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 uses the information to 

determine the safest and quickest way to 

either remove the obstacles or to fix and 

reuse them. 

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 required to obtain or 

retain a benefit. 

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 

information collection is a total of 9 

hours. The following chart details the 

individual components and estimated 

hour burdens. 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 one non-hour 

paperwork cost burden associated with 

the collection of information, see the 

burden table. 

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 

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. 

To comply with the public 

consultation process, on June 8, 2009, 

we published a Federal Register notice 

(74 FR 27166) 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 numbers 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 have received no 

comments in response to these efforts. 

If you wish to comment in response 

to this notice, you may send your 

comments to the offices listed under the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. The 

OMB has up to 60 days to approve or 

disapprove the information collection 

but may respond after 30 days. 

Therefore, to ensure maximum 

consideration, OMB should receive 

public comments by October 26, 2009. 

Public Availability of Comments: 

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
