SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart J, Pipelines 

and Pipeline Rights-of-Way. 

Form: BSEE–0149. 

OMB Control Number: 1014–0016. 

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 

to prescribe rules and regulations 

necessary for the administration of the 

leasing provisions of the Act related to 

mineral resources on the OCS. Such 

rules and regulations will apply to all 

operations conducted under a lease, 

right-of-way (ROW), or a right-of-use 

and easement. Section 1334(e) 

authorizes the Secretary to grant ROWs 

through the submerged lands of the OCS 

for pipelines ‘‘* * * for the 

transportation of oil, natural gas, 

sulphur, or other minerals, or under 

such regulations and upon such 

conditions as may be prescribed by the 

Secretary, * * * including (as provided 

in section 1347(b) of this title) assuring 

maximum environmental protection by 

utilization of the best available and 

safest technologies, including the safest 

practices for pipeline burial * * *.’’ 

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 OMB Circular A–25, 

authorize Federal agencies to recover 

the full cost of services that confer 

special benefits. This authority and 

responsibility are among those 

delegated to BSEE. BSEE regulations 

specify cost recovery service fees for 

pipeline and assignment applications. 

This information collection (IC) 

request addresses the regulations under 

30 CFR 250, subpart J, on pipelines and 

pipeline ROWs and is considered a 

revision. Between the initial 60-day FR 

notice and now, BSEE requested and 

obtained OMB approval via a Notice of 

Action (12/12/2011) to transfer 1010– 

0050 to 1014–0016. This transfer was a 

result of the Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Regulations and 

Enforcement splitting into two bureaus 

and some specific subpart J regulatory 

requirements going to both bureaus. 

Therefore, the program change is due to 

that final rulemaking (76 FR 64432) 

where the requirements pertaining to 

bonding (Form BOEM–2030; § 250.1011) 

have been removed from BSEE 

regulations and are now located in the 

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management 

regulations (30 CFR 550.1011). This 

collection also covers the related 

Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) 

that BSEE issues to clarify and provide 

additional guidance on some aspects of 

the regulations. 

Regulations at 30 CFR part 250, 

subpart J, implement these statutory 

requirements. We use the information to 

ensure those activities are performed in 

a safe manner. BSEE needs information 

concerning the proposed pipeline and 

safety equipment, inspections and tests, 

and natural and manmade hazards near 

the proposed pipeline route. BSEE uses 

the information to review pipeline 

designs prior to approving an 

application for an ROW or lease term 

pipeline to ensure that the pipeline, as 

constructed, will provide for safe 

transportation of oil and gas and other 

minerals through the submerged lands
