SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Legacy Data Verification Process 

(LDVP). 

OMB Control Number: 1014–0009. 

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 the OCS. Such 

rules and regulations will apply to all 

operations conducted under a lease. 

Section 1332(6) states that 

‘‘operations in the [O]uter 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.’’ 

These responsibilities are among those 

delegated to the Bureau of Safety and 

Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). 

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 issue Notices to 

Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that 

provide clarification, explanation, and 

interpretation of our regulations. These 

NTLs are also used to convey purely 

informational material and to cover 

situations that might not be addressed 

in our regulations. The latter is the case 

for this information collection. Because 

of the unusual nature of this 

information collection, issuing an NTL 

is the appropriate means to collect the 

information. 

The subject of this information 

collection request is the ‘‘Legacy Data 

Verification Process (LDVP),’’ formerly 

known as the ‘‘Historical Well Data 

Cleanup Program (HWDC).’’ It needs to 

be stressed that the information we are 

collecting is information that 

respondents are required to submit 

under regulations at 30 CFR part 250, 

subpart D. However, in the past we did 

not always enforce this regulatory 

requirement for certain wellbores for 

several reasons. We did not foresee the 

value of this information for all 

wellbores, nor did we anticipate that not 

having the information would later 

create problems for the agency and 

others. We also did not have a 

sophisticated electronic database that 

could handle the information. The 

LDVP IC is found in § 250.467(c). These 

are the records that the lessee must keep 

until the well is abandoned. The 

collection is also looking for any records 

that should have been submitted to 

BSEE but are not in BSEE’s inventory. 

The key to this collection is that BSEE 

wants to know the location of all the 

wellbores, specifically: 

—Records of well completion or 

workover activities that materially 

alter the completion configuration or 

affect a hydrocarbon-bearing zone— 

§ 250.467(c), 

—Well logs and surveys run in the 

wellbore—§ 250.468(a), 

—Directional surveys—§ 250.468(a), 

—Service company reports on 

cementing, perforating, acidizing, 

testing, or other similar reports— 

§ 250.469(c). 

We now collect all of the required 

information on a current basis (under 30 

CFR part 250, subpart D, OMB Control 

Number 1014–0018). Prior assurance to 

respondents that providing the 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 193 / Thursday, October 4, 2012 / Notices 60715 

information in connection with this 

process will not subject them to the 

penalties for not providing the 

information is still in place. We are 

requesting a renewal of this collection to 

allow operators more response time over 

a longer period to provide the missing 

or corrected data. 

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 mandatory. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise Federal OCS oil, 

gas, and sulphur lessees. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

estimated hour burden for this 

information collection is a total of 417 

annual burden hours. The respondents 

will submit information for a remaining 

estimated 500 wells from an original 

40,000 wells. Based on our own input, 

the concurrence of the contractor hired 

for this, and informal discussions with 

a few potential respondents, we 

estimate it will take respondents 0.5 

hours to locate and copy scout tickets 

for each well and 2.0 hours to retrieve 

and analyze each well file over a 3-year 

timeframe (2.5 hours × 500 wells— 

1,250/3 = 417 annual burden hours 

(rounded)). 

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 the 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 May 14, 2012, 

we published a Federal Register notice 

(77 FR 28401) 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 have received no 

comments in response to this effort. 

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.

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
