SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 30 

CFR Part 253, Oil Spill Financial 

Responsibility for Offshore Facilities. 

Forms: MMS–1016, 1017, 1018, 1019, 

1020, 1021, and 1022. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0106. 

Abstract: Title I of the Oil Pollution 

Act of 1990 (OPA) (33 U.S.C. 2701 et 

seq.), as amended by the Coast Guard 

Authorization Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–

324), provides at section 1016 that oil 

spill financial responsibility (OSFR) for 

offshore facilities be established and 

maintained according to methods 

determined acceptable to the President. 

Section 1016 of OPA supersedes the 

offshore facility oil spill financial 

responsibility provisions of the Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act 

Amendments of 1978. These authorities 

and responsibilities are among those 

delegated to the Minerals Management 

Service (MMS) under which MMS 

issues regulations governing oil and gas 

and sulphur operations in the OCS. 

This information collection request 

addresses the regulations at 30 CFR Part 

253, Oil Spill Financial Responsibility 

for Offshore Facilities, including any 

supplementary Notices to Lessees and 

Operators (NTLs) that provide 

clarification, description, or explanation 

of these regulations, and forms MMS–

1016 through MMS–1022. We have 

made a few minor changes to headings 

on the forms. There are no data element 

changes. 

The MMS will use the information 

collected under 30 CFR Part 253 to 

verify compliance with section 1016 of 

OPA. The information is necessary to 

confirm that applicants can pay for 

clean-up and damages from oil-spill 

discharges from Covered Offshore 

Facilities (COFs). The information will 

be used routinely: (a) To establish 

approval and eligibility of applicants for 

an Oil Spill Financial Responsibility 

(OSFR) certification; and (b) as a 

reference source for clean-up and 

damage claims associated with oil-spill 

discharges from COFs; the names, 

addresses, and telephone numbers of 

owners, operators, and guarantors; 

designated U.S. agents for service of 

process; and persons to contact. To 

collect most of the information, MMS 

developed standard forms. The forms 

and their purposes are: 

Cover Sheet: The forms will be 

distributed in a package that includes a 

cover sheet that displays the required 

OMB Control Number, Expiration Date, 

and Paperwork Reduction Act 

statement. This cover sheet will 

accompany the forms as part of a 

package or will be included with any 

copies of a particular form that 

respondents may request. 

Form MMS–1016, Designated 

Applicant Information Certification: 

The designated applicant uses this form 

to provide identifying information 

(company legal name, MMS 

qualification number and region, 

address, contact name and title, 

telephone and fax numbers) and to 

summarize the OSFR evidence. This 

form is required for each new or 

renewed OSFR certification application. 

Form MMS–1017, Designation of 

Applicant: When there is more than one 

responsible party for a COF, they must 

select a designated applicant. Each 

responsible party, as defined in the 

regulations, must use this form to notify 

MMS of the designated applicant. This 

form is also used to designate the U.S. 

agent for service of process for the 

responsible party(ies) if claims from an 

oil-spill discharge exceed the amount 

evidenced by the designated applicant; 

identifies and provides pertinent 

information about the responsible 

party(ies); and lists the COFs for which 

the responsible party is liable for OSFR 

certification. The form identifies each 

COF by State or OCS region; lease, 

permit, right of use and easement or 

pipeline number; aliquot section; area 

name; and block number. This form 

must be submitted with each new OSFR 

application or with an assignment 

involving a COF in which there is at 

least one responsible party who is not 

the designated applicant for a COF. 

Form MMS–1018, Self-Insurance or 

Indemnity Information: This form is 

used if the designated applicant is selfinsuring or using an indemnity for 

OSFR evidence. As appropriate, either 

the designated applicant or the 

designated applicant’s indemnitor 

completes the form to indicate the 

amount of OSFR coverage and effective 

and expiration dates. The form also 

provides pertinent information about 

the self-insurer or indemnitor and is 

used to designate a U.S. agent for 

service of process for claims up to the 

evidenced amount. This form must be 

submitted each time new evidence of 

OSFR is submitted using either selfinsurance or an indemnification. 

Form MMS–1019, Insurance 

Certificate: The designated applicant 

(representing himself as a direct 

purchaser of insurance) or his insurance 

agent or broker and the named insurers 

complete this form to provide OSFR 

evidence using insurance. The number 

of forms to be submitted will depend 

upon the number of layers of insurance 

to evidence the total amount of OSFR 

required. One form is required for each 

layer of insurance. The form provides 

pertinent information about the 

insurer(s) and designates a U.S. agent 

for service of process. This form must be 

submitted at the beginning of the term 

of the insurance coverage for the 

designated applicant’s COFs or at the 

time COFs are added, with the 

scheduled option selected, to OSFR 

coverage. 

Form MMS–1020, Surety Bond: Each 

bonding company that issues a surety 

mstockstill on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES

2904 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 14 / Tuesday, January 23, 2007 / Notices 

bond for the designated applicant must 

complete this form indicating the 

amount of surety and effective dates. 

The form provides pertinent 

information about the bonding company 

and designates a U.S. agent for service 

of process for the amount evidenced by 

the surety bond. This form must be 

submitted at the beginning of the term 

of the surety bond for the named 

designated applicant. 

Form MMS–1021, Covered Offshore 

Facilities: The designated applicant 

submits this form to identify the COFs 

for which the OSFR evidence applies. 

The form identifies each COF by State 

or OCS region; lease, permit, right of use 

and easement or pipeline number; 

aliquot section; area name; block 

number; and potential worst case oilspill discharge. This form is required to 

be submitted with each new or renewed 

OSFR certification application that 

includes COFs. 

Form MMS–1022, Covered Offshore 

Facility Changes: During the term of the 

issued OSFR certification, the 

designated applicant may submit 

changes to the current COF listings, 

including additions, deletions, or 

changes to the worst case oil-spill 

discharge for a COF. This form must be 

submitted when identified changes 

occur during the term of an OSFR 

Certification. 

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.’’ No items of a sensitive 

nature are collected. Responses are 

mandatory. 

Frequency: On an annual basis, except 

for changes to existing COF listings that 

could occur throughout the term of the 

OSFR Certification. 

Estimated Number and Description of 

Respondents: Approximately 600 

holders of leases, permits, and rights of 

use and easement in the OCS and in 

State coastal waters who will appoint 

approximately 200 designated 

applicants. Other respondents will be 

the designated applicants’ insurance 

agents and brokers, bonding companies, 

and indemnitors. Some respondents 

may also be claimants. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The 

currently approved annual reporting 

burden for this collection is 19,299 

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.

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 

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. 

Agencies must also estimate the ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burdens to respondents or 

recordkeepers resulting from the 

collection of information. Therefore, if 

you have 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. 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, and 

record storage facilities. You should not 

include estimates for equipment or 

services purchased: (i) Before October 1, 

1995; (ii) to comply with requirements 

not associated with the information 

collection; (iii) for reasons other than to 

provide information or keep records for 

the Government; or (iv) as part of 

mstockstill on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 14 / Tuesday, January 23, 2007 / Notices 2905 

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. 

Public Comment Procedures: MMS’s 

practice is to make comments, including 

names and addresses of respondents, 

available for public review. If you wish 

your name and/or address to be 

withheld, you must state this 

prominently at the beginning of your 

comment. MMS will honor this request 

to the extent allowable by law; however, 

anonymous comments will not be 

considered. There may be circumstances 

in which we would withhold from the 

record a respondent’s identity, as 

allowable by the law. If you wish us to 

withhold your name and/or address, 

you must state this prominently at the 

beginning of your comment. In addition, 

you must present a rationale for 

withholding this information. This 

rationale must demonstrate that 

disclosure ‘‘would constitute an 

unwarranted invasion of privacy.’’

Unsupported assertions will not meet 

this burden. In the absence of 

exceptional, documentable 

circumstances, this information will be 

released. All submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, will be 

made available for public inspection in 

their entirety.
