SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR 250, Application for 

Permit to Modify (APM) and all 

supporting documentation. 

Form(s): BSEE–0124. 

OMB Control Number: 1014—NEW. 

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 mineral resources 

on the OCS. Such rules and regulations 

will apply to all operations conducted 

under a lease, right-of-way, or a right-ofuse 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; 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.’’ 

In addition to the general authority of 

OCSLA, section 301(a) of the Federal 

Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act 

(FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants 

authority to the Secretary to prescribe 

such rules and regulations as are 

reasonably necessary to carry out 

FOGRMA’s provisions. While the 

majority of FOGRMA is directed to 

royalty collection and enforcement, 

some provisions apply to offshore 

operations. For example, section 108 of 

FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1718, grants the 

Secretary broad authority to inspect 

lease sites for the purpose of 

determining whether there is 

compliance with the mineral leasing 

laws. Section 109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30 

U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) and (d)(1), impose 

substantial civil penalties for failure to 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
14272 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 49 / Thursday, March 13, 2014 / Notices 

permit lawful inspections and for 

knowing or willful preparation or 

submission of false, inaccurate, or 

misleading reports, records, or other 

information. The Secretary has 

delegated some of the authority under 

FOGRMA to BSEE. 

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, 

the Bureau of Safety and Environmental 

Enforcement (BSEE) 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. APMs are subject to cost 

recovery and BSEE regulations specify a 

service fee for this request. 

These authorities and responsibilities 

are among those delegated to the BSEE. 

The regulations at 30 CFR part 250 

stipulate the various requirements that 

must be submitted with an APM. The 

form and the numerous submittals that 

are included and/or attached to the form 

are the subject of this collection. 

Currently, this information is collected 

under 30 CFR part 250, Subpart D, 

1014–0018 (216,211 hour burdens/

$2,225,286 non-hour cost burdens; 

expiration 10/21/2014); but this request 

will separate out the hours and nonhour cost burdens associated with 

APMs into its own separate collection 

so that both industry and BSEE have a 

better understanding of the complexities 

associated with all the information that 

is submitted with this form; and will 

reflect more accurate burden estimates. 

Once OMB approves this new 

collection, the hour and non-hour cost 

burdens associated with APMs will be 

removed from the IC 1014–0018. 

This request also covers any related 

Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) 

that BSEE issues to clarify, supplement, 

or provide additional guidance on some 

aspects of our regulations 

The current regulations specify the 

use of form BSEE–0124 (Application for 

Permit to Modify). We have included a 

certification statement on the form, to 

state that false submissions are subject 

to criminal penalties. Also, we clarified 

a section of the form by updating the 

regulatory citations listed in Question 

#18. 

Regulations implementing these 

responsibilities are delegated to BSEE. 

Responses are mandatory or are 

required to obtain or retain a benefit. No 

questions of a sensitive nature are 

asked. The BSEE protects information 

considered proprietary under the 

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

552) and DOI’s 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, 30 CFR 

Part 252, OCS Oil and Gas Information 

Program. 

The BSEE uses the information to 

ensure safe well completion, workover, 

and decommissioning operations and to 

protect the human, marine, and coastal 

environment. Among other things, BSEE 

specifically uses the information to 

ensure: The well completion, workover, 

and decommissioning unit is fit for the 

intended purpose; equipment is 

maintained in a state of readiness and 

meets safety standards; each well 

completion, workover, and 

decommissioning crew is properly 

trained and able to promptly perform 

well-control activities at any time 

during well operations; and compliance 

with safety standards. The current 

regulations 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 

the 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. 

We use the information to determine 

the conditions of the site to avoid 

hazards inherent in well completions, 

workovers, and decommissioning 

operations. In addition, except for 

proprietary data, BSEE is required by 

the OCS Lands Act to make available to 

the public certain information that is 

submitted. 

The information on the APM form 

(BSEE–0124) is used to evaluate and 

approve the adequacy of the equipment, 

materials, and/or procedures that the 

lessee or operator plans to use during 

drilling plan modifications, changes in 

major drilling equipment, and plugging 

back. In addition, except for proprietary 

data, BSEE is required by the OCS 

Lands Act to make available to the 

public certain information submitted on 

BSEE–0124. The information on the 

form is as follows: 

Heading: Identify the well name, lease 

operator, type of revision and timing of 

the proposed modifications. 

Well at Total Depth/Surface: Identify 

the unique location (area, block and 

lease of the proposed activity). 

Proposed or Completed Work: 

Information identifying the specific 

activity, revision or modification for 

which approval is requested. This 

includes specific identification of 

equipment, engineering, and pressure 

test data needed by BSEE to ascertain 

that operations will be conducted in a 

manner that ensures the safety of 

personnel and protection of the 

environment. 

Question Information: Responses to 

questions (a) through (h) serve to 

ascertain compliance with applicable 

BSEE regulations and requirements and 

adherence to good operating practices. 

Frequency: On occasion and as 

required by regulations. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise OCS 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 9,770 

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.

BILLING CODE 4310–VH–C 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified one non-hour cost 

burden associated with the collection of 

information for a total of $361,625. The 

service fee of $125 is required to recover 

the Federal Government’s processing 

costs of the APM. We have not 

identified any other non-hour 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 December 3, 

2013, we published a Federal Register 

notice (78 FR 72693) 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 250 regulations and forms. 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 one set of 

comments in response to the Federal 

Register notice. One comment was 

about how BSEE included a certification 

statement on the form that false 

submissions are subject to criminal 

penalties.’’ The response to the 

commenters’ input is as follows: The 

certification statement we added to the 

form is a standard statement on many 

government forms. The statement is 

intended to remind submitters of the 

penalties for false statements. Anyone 

who submits a false statement to the 

government may be subject to civil and 

criminal penalties even if the statement 

does not appear on a form. Inclusion of 

the statement serves to ensure 

submitters are aware of applicable law. 

Another comment was the addition of 

Question #8b—Well Status. Due to the 

comment, it came to light that industry 

does not have to input that information 

on the form—once the form starts to be 

filled out, the well status information is 

populated automatically; therefore, we 

removed Question #8b. The last 

comment pertains to the estimated 

reporting and recordkeeping non-hour 

cost burden. The commenter believes 

that the $361,625 cost is for additional 

time and effort to file the form with the 

suggested changes. That is not the case. 

BSEE 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 (see the 

Independent Offices Appropriations Act 

paragraph under the Abstract). APMs 

are subject to a $125 cost recovery and 

BSEE regulations specify a service fee 

for this request under 30 CFR 250.125. 

Public Availability of Comments: 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email 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. 

Dated: February 19, 2014.

Programs.
