Individuals in the United States who are 

deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have 

a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY,

also view the ICR at http://

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general 

public and other Federal agencies with 

an opportunity to comment on new, 

proposed, revised, and continuing 

collections of information. This helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand our 

information collection requirements and 

provide the requested data in the 

desired format. 

A Federal Register notice with a 60- 

day public comment period soliciting 

comments on this collection of 

information was published on July 13, 

2023 (88 FR 44834). No comments were 

received. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we are again soliciting 

comments from the public and other 

Federal agencies on the proposed ICR 

that is described below. We are 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How might the agency minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. 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: BSEE will use the 

information to oversee facility design, 

fabrication, installation, and safety 

management systems; ensure the safety 

of operations, including inspection 

programs and incident reporting and 

investigations; enforce compliance with 

all applicable safety, environmental, 

and other laws and regulations through 

enforcement actions (such as 

noncompliance notices, cessation 

orders, and certain lease suspensions); 

and oversee decommissioning activities. 

These responsibilities include 

enforcement provisions under the 

existing part 285 subpart D, various 

information submittal requirements 

under subpart F, as well as provisions 

governing activities conducted under an 

approved plan, including the design, 

construction, operation, and 

decommissioning of facilities under 

subparts G, H, and I. The requirements 

for and standards of review regarding 

the Facility Design Report (FDR) and 

Facility Fabrication and Installation 

Report (FIR) are unchanged: the FDR 

and FIR will continue to be evaluated 

for consistency with the Construction 

and Operations Plan (COP) and 

applicable engineering standards. 

Decommissioning requirements related 

to rights-of-use and easement for 

alternate uses of existing OCS facilities 

(Alternate Use RUE) have also been 

transferred from the existing subpart J to 

part 285. 

BSEE assumes the responsibility for 

ordering a lease or grant suspension 

when continued activities pose an 

imminent threat of serious or irreparable 

harm or damage to natural resources, 

life, property, the marine coastal, or 

human environment, or sites, structures, 

or objects of historical or archaeological 

significance. BSEE may also order a 

suspension when necessary to comply 

with a judicial decree. Under the rule, 

BSEE also assumes authority to issue 

cessation orders to address 

noncompliance on the part of the 

grantee or lessee. 

The Department does not issue 

Suspensions for Alternate Use RUEs 

upon the grantee’s request, but only by 

order. BOEM will retain authority to 

order suspensions required for National 

security, and BSEE will assume 

authority to order suspensions to 

address a threat of harm from continued 

operations. Either bureau may order a 

suspension when necessary to comply 

with a judicial decree. BSEE will order 

suspensions when operations are halted 

on the existing facility and BSEE 

determines continuation of the alternate 

use is unsafe or causes undue 

interference with the facility. 

Part 285 subpart D, Lease and Grant 

Administration, includes the authority 

to issue notices of noncompliance 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
66502 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 27, 2023 / Notices 

(NONCs) and cessation orders, and to 

pursue civil penalties and recommend 

criminal penalties. BSEE assumes 

authority for oversight and enforcement 

of the design, construction, operation, 

and decommissioning phases of offshore 

wind development, as well as 

enforcement of requirements related to 

Alternate Use RUEs. 

This ICR includes a new form: 

Form BSEE–1835, Notification of 

Noncompliance (NONC). 

BSEE will use the information to 

determine that respondents have 

corrected all Notifications of 

Noncompliance (NONCs) identified 

during inspections. Everything on the 

NONC form is filled out by a BSEE 

inspector/representative. The only thing 

industry does with this form is sign the 

document upon receipt and respond to 

BSEE when each NONC has been 

corrected. Dependent on the severity of 

the non-compliance identified by the 

BSEE inspector, the responses are 

assigned different intervals and are 

described in the form table titled 

Enforcement Timeline: 

1—At Time of Inspection 

14—Within 14 Days 

30—Within 30 Days 

50—Prior to Returning to Service/ 

Operation 

60—Prior to Next Scheduled 

Maintenance 

70—During Next Scheduled 

Maintenance 

80—Prior to Next scheduled Audit 

90—During Next Scheduled Audit. 

Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 285, 

Renewable Energy and Alternate Uses of 

Existing Facilities on the Outer 

Continental Shelf. 

OMB Control Number: 1014–0034. 

Form Number: Form BSEE–1835, 

Notice(s) of Noncompliance. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Primary 

respondents comprise Federal OCS 

companies that submit unsolicited 

proposals or responses to Federal 

Register notices; or are lessees, 

designated operators, and ROW or RUE 

grant holders. Other potential 

respondents are companies or state and 

local governments that submit 

information or comments relative to 

alternative energy-related uses of the 

OCS; certified verification agents 

(CVAs); and surety or third-party 

guarantors. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: Currently there are 

approximately 47 Lessees in the OCS. 

Not all the potential respondents will 

submit information in any given year, 

and some may submit multiple times. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 103. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: Varies from 30 minutes to 

6,000 hours, depending on activity. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 8,908 

Respondent’s Obligation: Responses 

are mandatory and are required to 

obtain or retain a benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: generally 

occasional or annual. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: $1,908,000.
