SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, 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 
April 17, 2018 (83 FR 16899). No comments were received.
    We are again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is 
described below. We are especially interested in public comments 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the 
proper functions of BSEE; (2) Will this information be processed and 
used in a timely manner; (3) Is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) 
How might BSEE enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) How might BSEE minimize the burden 
of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of 
information technology.
    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: The regulations at 30 CFR part 250, subpart O, concern 
well control and production safety training and are the subject of this 
collection. This request also covers any related Notices to Lessees and 
Operators (NTLs) that BSEE issues to clarify, supplement, or provide 
additional guidance on some aspects of our regulations.
    The BSEE will use the information collected under subpart O 
regulations to ensure that workers in the OCS are properly trained with 
the necessary skills to perform their jobs in a safe and pollution-free 
manner.
    In some instances, we may conduct oral interviews of offshore 
employees to evaluate the effectiveness of a company's training 
program. The oral interviews are used to gauge how effectively the 
companies are implementing their own training program.
    Title of Collection: 30 CFR 250, Subpart O, Well Control and 
Production Safety Training.
    OMB Control Number: 1014-0008.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Potential respondents comprise Federal 
OCS oil, gas, and sulphur lessees/operators and holders of pipeline 
rights-of-way.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: Varies, not all of 
the potential respondents will submit information in any given year and 
some may submit multiple times.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 5.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 4 hour to 69 
hours, depending on activity.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 148.
    Respondent's Obligation: Responses are mandatory.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: We have not identified 
any non-hour cost burdens associated with this collection of 
information.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

    Dated: August 7, 2018.
Doug Morris,
Chief, Office of Offshore Regulatory Programs.
