SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart E, Oil 

and Gas Well-Completion Operations. 

OMB Control Number: 1014–0004. 

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 the Act related to 

the mineral resources on the OCS. Such 

rules and regulations will apply to all 

operations conducted under a lease. 

Operations on the OCS must preserve, 

protect, and develop mineral 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 5(a) of the OCS Lands Act 

requires the Secretary to prescribe rules 

and regulations ‘‘to provide for the 

prevention of waste, and conservation of 

the natural resources of the Outer 

Continental Shelf, and the protection of 

correlative rights therein’’ and to 

include provisions ‘‘for the prompt and 

efficient exploration and development 

of a lease area.’’ These authorities and 

responsibilities are among those 

delegated to BSEE to ensure that 

operations in the OCS will meet 

statutory requirements; provide for 

safety and protection of the 

environment; and result in diligent 

exploration, development, and 

production of OCS leases. This 

information collection (IC) request 

addresses the regulations at 30 CFR 250, 

Subpart E, Oil and Gas Well-Completion 

Operations, and any associated 

supplementary Notices to Lessees and 

Operators (NTLs) intended to provide 

clarification, description, or explanation 

of these regulations. 

In addition to the general rulemaking 

authority of the OCSLA at 43 U.S.C. 

1334, 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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

48894 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 155 / Monday, August 12, 2013 / Notices 

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 

permit lawful inspections and for 

knowing or willful preparation or 

submission of false, inaccurate, or 

misleading reports, records, or other 

information. Because the Secretary has 

delegated some of the authority under 

FOGRMA to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is 

included as additional authority for 

these requirements. 

Regulations at 30 CFR part 250 

implement these statutory requirements. 

We use the information to ensure that 

planned well-completion operations 

will protect personnel and natural 

resources. They use the analysis and 

evaluation results in the decision to 

approve, disapprove, or require 

modification to the proposed wellcompletion operations. Specifically, 

BSEE uses the information to ensure: (a) 

Compliance with personnel safety 

training requirements; (b) crown block 

safety device is operating and can be 

expected to function to avoid accidents; 

(c) proposed operation of the annular 

preventer is technically correct and 

provides adequate protection for 

personnel, property, and natural 

resources; (d) well-completion 

operations are conducted on well 

casings that are structurally competent; 

and (e) sustained casing pressures are 

within acceptable limits. 

The BSEE will protect proprietary 

information according to the Freedom of 

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

implementing regulations (43 CFR 2); 30 

CFR 250.197, Data and information to 

be made available to the public or for 

limited inspection; and 30 CFR part 252, 

OCS Oil and Gas Information Program. 

No items of a sensitive nature are 

collected. Responses are mandatory. 

Frequency: Responses are generally 

weekly, monthly, annually, and vary by 

section. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise Federal OCS oil, 

gas, and sulphur lessees and holders of 

pipeline rights-of-way. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

currently approved annual reporting 

burden for this collection is 46,859 

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.

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified no 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: 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 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. 

Agencies must also estimate the nonhour paperwork cost burdens to 

respondents or recordkeepers resulting 

from the collection of information. 

Therefore, if you have other than hour 

burden 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. For further 

information on this burden, refer to 5 

CFR 1320.3(b)(1) and (2), or contact the 

Bureau representative listed previously 

in this notice. 

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, 

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.
