SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR part 250, subpart H, Oil 

and Gas Production Safety Systems. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0059. 

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 

1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), 

authorizes the Secretary of the Interior 

(Secretary) to prescribe rules and 

regulations to administer leasing of the 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 158 / Tuesday, August 16, 2011 / Notices 50749 

OCS. Such rules and regulations will 

apply to all operations conducted under 

a lease. Operations on the OCS must 

preserve, protect, and develop oil and 

natural gas resources in a manner that 

is consistent with the need to make such 

resources available to meet the Nation’s 

energy needs as rapidly as possible; to 

balance orderly energy resource 

development with protection of human, 

marine, and coastal environments; to 

ensure the public a fair and equitable 

return on the resources of the OCS; and 

to preserve and maintain free enterprise 

competition. 

The OCS Lands Act at 43 U.S.C. 

1332(6) states that ‘‘operations in the 

[O]uter Continental Shelf should be 

conducted in a safe manner by welltrained personnel using technology, 

precautions, and techniques sufficient 

to prevent or minimize the likelihood of 

blowouts, loss of well control, fires, 

spillages, physical obstruction to other 

users of the waters or subsoil and 

seabed, or other occurrences which may 

cause damage to the environment or to 

property, or endanger life or health.’’ 

The Independent Offices 

Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the 

Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L. 

104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26, 

1996), and Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) Circular A–25, authorize 

Federal agencies to recover the full cost 

of services that confer special benefits. 

Under the Department of the Interior’s 

(DOI) implementing policy, the Bureau 

of Ocean Energy Management, 

Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) 

is required to charge the full cost for 

services that provide special benefits or 

privileges to an identifiable non-Federal 

recipient above and beyond those which 

accrue to the public at large. Facility 

Production Safety System Applications 

are subject to cost recovery, and 

BOEMRE regulations specify filing fees 

for these applications. 

This notice concerns the reporting 

and recordkeeping elements of 30 CFR 

part 250, subpart H, Oil and Gas 

Production Safety Systems, and related 

Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) 

that clarify and provide additional 

guidance on some aspects of the 

regulations. 

BOEMRE uses the information 

submitted under subpart H to evaluate 

equipment and/or procedures that 

lessees propose to use during 

production operations, including 

evaluation of requests for departures or 

use of alternative procedures. 

Information submitted is also used to 

verify the no-flow condition of wells to 

continue the waiver of requirements to 

install valves capable of preventing 

backflow. BOEMRE inspectors review 

the records maintained to verify 

compliance with testing and minimum 

safety requirements. 

The Gulf of Mexico OCS Region 

(GOMR) has a policy regarding approval 

of requests to use a chemical-only fire 

prevention and control system in lieu of 

a water system. BOEMRE may require 

additional information be submitted to 

maintain approval. The information is 

used to determine if the chemical-only 

system provides the equivalent 

protection of a water system for the 

egress of personnel should a fire occur. 

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 or for limited inspection,’’ 

and 30 CFR part 252, ‘‘OCS Oil and Gas 

Information Program.’’ No items of a 

sensitive nature are collected. 

Responses are mandatory. 

Frequency: On occasion or annual. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise Federal oil, gas, 

or sulphur lessees and/or operators. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

currently approved annual reporting 

burden for this collection is 47,021 

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.

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

The currently OMB approved non-hour 

cost burdens total $482,309. We have 

identified nine non-hour cost burdens 

for this collection. These non-hour cost 

burdens consist of service fees which 

are determined by the number of 

components involved in the review and 

approval process; along with the cost of 

the offshore and/or shipyard visits 

under § 250.802(e). We have not 

identified any other non-hour cost 

burdens. 

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 

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.
