SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: 30 CFR Part 254, Response

Plans for Facilities Located Seaward of

the Coast Line.

Abstract: The Federal Water Pollution

Control Act (FWPCA), as amended by

the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA),

requires that a spill-response plan be

submitted for offshore facilities prior to

February 18, 1993. The OPA specifies

that after that date, an offshore facility

may not handle, store, or transport oil

unless a plan has been submitted. To

implement the provisions of these

statutes, MMS published a final rule in

the Federal Register on March 25, 1997

(62 FR 13991). These regulations require

respondents to provide information and

maintain records on their spill-response

capability and efforts to prevent oil

spills or prevent substantial threats of

such discharges. The MMS uses the

information to determine the overall

effectiveness of owners/operators in

preventing oil spills and their capability

to respond in the event of an oil spill.

Responses to this collection of

information are mandatory. No

confidential or sensitive information is

collected.

Number and Description of

Respondents: Approximately 193

owners and operators of facilities

located in both State and Federal waters

seaward of the coast line.

Frequency: The reporting and

recordkeeping requirements and

number of responses vary for each

section and are mostly on occasion, but

most will respond at least once per year

(see chart below).

Estimated Annual Burden on

Respondents: Reporting and

recordkeeping ‘‘hour’’ burden of 47,439

hours (see charts below). We have

identified no reporting and

recordkeeping ‘‘cost’’ burdens.
