Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), we are

inviting comments on an information

collection request (ICR), titled ‘‘30 CFR

Part 254, Oil-Spill Response

Requirements for Facilities Located

Seaward of the Coast Line.’’ We are

preparing an ICR, which we will submit

to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review and approval.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: 30 CFR Part 254, Oil-Spill

Response Requirements for Facilities

Located Seaward of the Coast Line.

OMB Control Number: 1010–0091.

Abstract: The Federal Water Pollution

Control Act, as amended by the Oil

Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), requires

that a spill-response plan be submitted

for offshore facilities prior to February

18, 1993. The OPA specifies that after

that date, an offshore facility may not

handle, store, or transport oil unless a

plan has been submitted. Regulations at

30 CFR part 254 establish requirements

for spill-response plans for oil-handling

facilities seaward of the coast line,

including associated pipelines.

We use the information collected

under 30 CFR part 254 to determine

compliance with OPA by owners/

operators. Specifically, MMS needs the

information to:

• determine effectiveness of the spillresponse capability of owners/operators;

• review plans prepared under the

regulations of a State and submitted to

MMS to satisfy the requirements of this

rule to ensure that they meet minimum

requirements of OPA;

• verify that personnel involved in

oil-spill response are properly trained

and familiar with the requirements of

the spill response plans and to witness

spill-response exercises;

• assess the sufficiency and

availability of contractor equipment and

materials;

• verify that sufficient quantities of

equipment are available and in working

order;

• oversee spill-response efforts and

maintain official records of pollution

events; and

• assess the efforts of owners/

operators to prevent oil spills or prevent

substantial threats of such discharges.

Responses are mandatory. No

proprietary, confidential, or sensitive

information is collected.

Frequency: The frequency varies by

regulatory requirement, but is mostly

annual or on occasion.

Estimated Number and Description of

Respondents: Approximately 193

owners or operators of facilities located

in both State and Federal waters

seaward of the coast line.

Estimated Annual Reporting and

Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The

currently approved burden for this

information collection is 47,439 hours.

The major components of this burden

are for:

• Spill response plans for OCS or

State water facilities (100 hours).

• Revised spill response plans (16.5

hours).

• Modified OCS spill response plan

for facilities in State waters (45 hours).

• Response plan for facilities in State

waters using State requirements (93

hours).

• Conduct of annual training; retain

records for 2 years (40 hours).

• Conduct of triennial response plan

exercise; retain records for 3 years (110

hours).

Estimated Annual Reporting and

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’

Burden: We have identified no non-hour

cost burdens for this collection.

Comments: The PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501,

et seq.) provides that an agency may not

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not

required to respond to, a collection of

information unless it displays a

currently valid OMB control number.

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA

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.

The PRA also requires agencies to

estimate the total annual reporting

‘‘non-hour cost’’ burden to respondents

or recordkeepers resulting from the

collection of information. We have not

identified any non-hour cost burdens

and need to know if you have other

costs associated with the collection of

this information for either total capital

and startup cost components or annual

operation, maintenance, and purchase

of service components. Your estimates

should consider the costs to generate,

maintain, and disclose or provide the

information. 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,

sampling, drilling, and testing

equipment; and record storage facilities.

Generally, your estimates should not

include equipment or services

purchased: (i) before October 1, 1995;

(ii) to comply with requirements not

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 102 / Thursday, May 25, 2000 / Notices 33827

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. In

calculating the burden, 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.

SUMMARY: The National Park Service

(NPS) has prepared a Director’s Order

setting forth its policies and procedures

will apply to all units of the national

park system, and will supersede and

replace the policies and procedures

issued in June 1987.

DATES: Written comments will be

accepted until June 26, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Draft Director’s Order #58 is

available on the Internet at http://

www.nps.gov/refdesk/DOrders/

Manager, Fire Management Program

Center, 3833 S. Development Avenue,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS

is updating its current system of internal

written instructions. When these

documents contain new policy or

procedural requirements that may affect

parties outside the NPS, they are first

made available for public review and

comment before being adopted. The

policies and procedures governing

structural fire management have

previously been published in the form

of guideline NPS–58. That guideline

will be superseded by the new

Director’s Order 58 (and a reference

manual that will be issued subsequent

to the Director’s Order). The draft

Director’s Order covers topics such as

fire management planning, safety and

health, cultural resources, concessions,

reporting, investigation, training,

coordination, program review,

preparedness, and funding. Director’s

Order #58 addresses only structural fire

management; wildland fire management

is addressed in Director’s Order #18,
