SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Form MMS–144, Rig Movement 

Notification Report. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0150. 

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 will 

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; and 

to preserve and maintain free enterprise 

competition. Section 1332(6) of the Act 

requires that ‘‘operations in the [O]uter 

Continental Shelf should be conducted 

in a safe manner by well-trained 

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.’’

This ICR concerns the regulations in 

30 CFR 250 Subparts D, E, and F, 

specifically §§ 403(c), 502, and 602, on 

the movement of drilling, completion, 

and workover rigs and related 

equipment on and off an offshore 

platform or from well to well on the 

same offshore platform. The 

requirement for operators to notify MMS 

of rig movements is only specifically 

stated in § 250.403(c). Since MMS is 

mandated to perform timely inspections 

on rigs and platforms, we must have 

accurate information with regard to 

their location on the OCS. We use this 

information in scheduling inspections 

with regard to priority and cost 

effectiveness. 

However, because of the increased 

volume of activity in the Gulf of Mexico 

Region (GOMR), it is now standard 

MMS procedure to require this 

notification as a condition of approval 

for well workover, recompletion, or 

abandonment operations. Because of 

this we have included the rig movement 

notification with the other general 

information collection requirements of 

these regulations under OMB Control 

Numbers 1010–0141, 1010–0067, and 

1010–0043 (30 CFR 250, Subparts D, E, 

and F, respectively). The MMS District
