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 March 6, 

2018 (83 FR 9541). 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 S, concern the Safety 

and Environmental Management 

Systems (SEMS) (including the 

associated forms), 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 Subpart S regulations hold the 

operator accountable for the overall 

safety of the offshore facility, including 

ensuring that all employees, contractors, 

and subcontractors have safety policies 

and procedures in place that support the 

implementation of the operator’s SEMS 

program and align with the principles of 

managing safety. An operator’s SEMS 

program must describe management’s 

commitment to safety and the 

environment, as well as policies and 

procedures to assure safety and 

environmental protection while 

conducting OCS operations (including 

those operations conducted by all 

personnel on the facility). BSEE will use 

the information obtained by submittals 

and observed via SEMS audits to ensure 

that operations on the OCS are 

conducted safely, as they pertain to both 

human and environmental factors, and 

in accordance with BSEE regulations, 

including industry practices 

incorporated by reference within the 

regulations. Job Safety Analyses (JSA’s) 

and other recordkeeping required by the 

SEMS regulation will be reviewed 

diligently by BSEE during inspections 

and other oversight activities and by 

SEMS auditors during regulatory 

required audits, to ensure that industry 

is using the documentation required by 

the SEMS regulation to manage their 

safety and environmental risks. 

Information on Form BSEE–0131, 

which the SEMS regulation requires to 

be submitted to BSEE annually, 

includes company identification, 

number of company/contractor injuries 

and/or illnesses suffered, company/ 

contractor hours worked, EPA National 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(NPDES) permit non-compliances, and 

oil spill volumes for spills less than 1 

barrel. Such information is reported on 

a calendar year basis, with data broken 

out by calendar quarter. The 

information is used to develop industry 

average incident rates that help to 

describe how well the offshore oil and 

gas industry is performing. Operators 

use these incident rates to benchmark 

against their own performance, and to 

focus on areas that need improvement. 

Using the produced data allows BSEE to 

better focus our regulatory and research 

programs on areas where the 

performance measures indicate that 

operators are having difficulty meeting 

our expectations. BSEE will be more 

effective in leveraging resources by 

redirecting research efforts, promoting 

appropriate regulatory initiatives, and 

shifting inspection and Directed Audit 

program emphasis based on 

performance results.
