SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart I, 

Platforms and Structures. 

OMB Control Number: 1014–0011. 

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 that Act related to 

mineral resources on the OCS. Such 

rules and regulations will apply to all 

operations conducted under a lease, 

right-of-way, or a right-of-use and 

easement. 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. Section 43 U.S.C. 1356 

requires the issuance of ‘‘. . . 

regulations which require that any 

vessel, rig, platform, or other vehicle or 

structure . . . (2) which is used for 

activities pursuant to this subchapter, 

comply . . . with such minimum 

standards of design, construction, 

alteration, and repair as the Secretary 

. . . establishes. . . .’’ Section 43 U.S.C. 

1332(6) also states ‘‘operations in the 

[O]uter Continental Shelf should be 

conducted in a safe manner . . . to 

prevent or minimize the likelihood of 

. . . physical obstruction to other users 

of the water or subsoil and seabed, or 

other occurrences which may cause 

damage to the environment or to 

property, or endanger life or health.’’ 

In addition to the general authority of 

OCSLA, section 301(a) of the Federal 

Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act 

(FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants 

authority to the Secretary to prescribe 

such rules and regulations as are 

reasonably necessary to carry out 

FOGRMA’s provisions. While the 

majority of FOGRMA is directed to 

royalty collection and enforcement, 

some provisions apply to offshore 

operations. For example, section 

109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30 U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) 

and (d)(1), impose substantial civil 

penalties for failure to permit lawful 

inspections and for knowing or willful 

preparation or submission of false, 

inaccurate, or misleading reports, 

records, or other information. The 

Secretary has delegated some of the 

authority under FOGRMA to BSEE. 

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. Under the Department 

of the Interior’s implementing policy, 

BSEE is required to charge fees 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. Various 

applications and reports for Platform 

Verification Program, fixed structure, 

Caisson/Well Protector, and 

modification repairs are subject to cost 

recovery, and BSEE regulations specify 

service fees for these requests. 

These authorities and responsibilities 

are among those delegated to BSEE. The 

regulations at 30 CFR part 250, Subpart 

I, pertain to Platforms and Structures 

and are the subject of this collection. 

This request also covers the related 

Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) 

that BSEE issues to clarify, supplement, 

or provide additional guidance on some 

aspects of our regulations. 

Regulations implementing these 

responsibilities are among those 

delegated to BSEE. While most 

responses are mandatory, some are 

required to obtain or retain a benefit. No 

questions of a sensitive nature are 

asked. The BSEE protects information 

considered proprietary under the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552) and DOI’s implementing 

regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under 

regulations at 30 CFR Part 250.197, Data 

and information to be made available to 

the public or for limited inspection, 30 

CFR Part 252, OCS Oil and Gas 

Information Program. 

The BSEE uses the information 

submitted under Subpart I to determine 

the structural integrity of all OCS 

platforms and floating production 

facilities and to ensure that such 

integrity will be maintained throughout 

the useful life of these structures. We 

use the information to ascertain, on a 

case-by-case basis, that the fixed and 

floating platforms and structures are 

structurally sound and safe for their 

intended use to ensure safety of 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 66 / Monday, April 7, 2014 / Notices 19113 

personnel and prevent pollution. More 

specifically, we use the information to: 

• Review data concerning damage to 

a platform to assess the adequacy of 

proposed repairs. 

• Review applications for platform 

construction (construction is divided 

into three phases–design, fabrication, 

and installation) to ensure the structural 

integrity of the platform. 

• Review verification plans and thirdparty reports for unique platforms to 

ensure that all nonstandard situations 

are given proper consideration during 

the platform design, fabrication, and 

installation. 

• Review platform design, fabrication, 

and installation records to ensure that 

the platform is constructed according to 

approved applications. 

• Review inspection reports to ensure 

that platform integrity is maintained for 

the life of the platform. 

Frequency: On occasion, as a result of 

situations encountered; and annually. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents include Federal OCS oil, 

gas, or sulphur lessees and/or operators. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

estimated annual hour burden for this 

information collection is a total of 

261,313 hours. The following chart 

details the individual components and 

estimated hour burdens. 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: 

We have identified four non-hour cost 

burdens, which are service fees required 

to recover the Federal Government’s 

processing costs of certain submissions, 

for various platform applications/

installations. The platform fees are as 

follows: $22,734 for installation under 

the Platform Verification Program; 

$3,256 for installation of fixed 

structures under the Platform Approval 

Program; $1,657 for installation of 

Caisson/Well Protectors; and $3,884 for 

modifications and/or repairs (see 

§ 250.125). We have not identified any 

other non-hour cost burdens associated 

with this collection of information, and 

we estimate a total reporting non-hour 

cost burden of $392,874. 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

The applicant, City of Rialto, requests 

an incidental take permit under section 

10(a)(1)(B) of the Act. If we approve the 

permit, the applicant anticipates taking 

Delhi Sands flower-loving fly 

(Rhaphiomidas terminatus abdominalis) 

as a result of minor disturbances to 

habitat the species uses for breeding, 

feeding, and sheltering. Take of Delhi 

Sands flower-loving fly would be 

incidental to the applicant’s routine 

activities associated with the 

construction activities associated with 

the widening of San Bernardino 

Avenue, Riverside Avenue, and Willow 

Avenue, in the City of Rialto, San 

Bernardino County, California. We 

published a final rule to list Delhi Sands 

flower-loving fly as endangered on 

September 23, 1993 (58 FR 49881). The 

rule became effective September 22, 

1993. A 5-year review of the species was 

published in March 2008. 

Background 

Section 9 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.) and our implementing Federal 

regulations in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17 prohibit 

the ‘‘take’’ of wildlife species listed as 

endangered or threatened. Take of listed 

wildlife is defined under the Act as ‘‘to 

harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, 

wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect 

listed species, or to attempt to engage in 

any such conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1538). 

‘‘Harm’’ includes significant habitat 

modification or degradation that 

actually kills or injures listed wildlife 

by significantly impairing essential 

behavioral patterns such as breeding, 

feeding, or sheltering (50 CFR 17.3). 

Under limited circumstances, we may 

issue permits to authorize incidental 

take of listed wildlife species, which the 

Act defines as take that is incidental to, 

and not the purpose of, the carrying out 

of otherwise lawful activities. 

Regulations governing incidental take 

permits for threatened and endangered 

species are at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22, 

respectively. In addition to meeting 

other criteria, activities covered by an 

incidental take permit must not 

jeopardize the continued existence in 

the wild of federally listed wildlife or 

plants. 

Applicant’s Proposal 

The applicant requests a 3-year permit 

under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act. If 

we approve the permit, the applicant 

anticipates taking Delhi Sands flowerloving fly (Rhaphiomidas terminatus 

abdominalis) as a result of street 

improvements which will permanently 

and temporarily impact 0.74 acre (ac) 

(0.30 hectare (ha)) of habitat the species 

uses for breeding, feeding, and 

sheltering. The take would be incidental 

to the applicant’s routine construction 

activities associated with the widening 

of San Bernardino Avenue, Riverside 

Avenue, and Willow Avenue, in the 

City of Rialto, San Bernardino County, 

California. 

A portion of the street widening 

project is on Delhi Sands soils. This soil 

type, which consists of fine wind-blown 

sand deposits, along with sparse native 

shrubs and annual plants defines the 

Delhi Sands flower-loving fly habitat. 

Less than 5 percent of the species’ 

historic range is left, found in a few 

disjunct locations in southwestern San 

Bernardino and northwestern Riverside 

Counties. Development and exclusion 

by invasive plant species continue to be
