incremental approach to improving 

their overall performance prior to a final 

decision to disqualify a lessee/operator 

or to pursue debarment proceedings 

through the execution of a performance 

improvement plan (PIP). The Subpart A 

regulations do not address the actual 

process that we will follow in pursuing 

the disqualification of operators under 

§§ 250.135 and 250.136; however, our 

internal enforcement procedures 

include allowing such operators to 

demonstrate a commitment to 

acceptable performance by the 

submission of a PIP. 

We will not be making any changes to 

the forms this renewal cycle. 

The BSEE forms use and information 

consists of the following: 

Form BSEE–0132, Hurricane and 

Tropical Storm Evacuation and 

Production Curtailment Statistics 

(GOMR) 

• Be informed when there could be a 

major disruption in the availability and 

supply of natural gas and oil due to 

natural occurrences/hurricanes, to 

advise the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) in 

case of the need to rescue offshore 

workers in distress, to monitor damage 

to offshore platforms and drilling rigs, 

and to advise the news media and 

interested public entities when 

production is shut-in and when 

resumed. The Gulf of Mexico OCS 

Region (GOMR) uses Form BSEE–0132, 

Hurricane and Tropical Storm 

Evacuation and Production Curtailment 

Statistics, for respondents to report 

evacuation statistics when necessary. 

This form requires the respondent to 

submit general information such as 

company name, contact, date, time, 

telephone number, as well as number of 

platforms and drilling rigs evacuated 

and not evacuated. We also require 

production shut-in statistics for oil 

(BOPD) and gas (MMSCFD). 

Form BSEE–0143, Facility/Equipment 

Damage Report 

• Assists lessees, lease operators, and 

pipeline right-of-way holders when 

reporting damage by a hurricane, 

earthquake, or other natural 

phenomenon. They are required to 

submit an initial damage report to the 

Regional Supervisor within 48 hours 

after completing the initial evaluation of 

the damage and then, subsequent 

reports, monthly and immediately, 

whenever information changes until the 

damaged structure or equipment is 

returned to service. Information on the 

form includes—instructions, general 

information, a description of the 

damage, an initial damage assessment, 

production rate at time of shut-in (BPD 

and/or MMCFPD), cumulative 

production shut-in (BPD and/or 

MMCFPD), and estimated time to return 

to service (in days). 

Form BSEE–1832, Notification of 

Incident(s) of Noncompliance 

• Determine that respondents have 

corrected all Incident(s) of 

Noncompliance (INCs), identified 

during inspections. Everything on the 

INC form is filled out by a BSEE 

inspector/representative. The only thing 

industry does with this form is sign the 

document upon receipt and respond to 

BSEE when each INC has been 

corrected, no later than 14 days from the 

date of issuance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written 

comments and suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies concerning 

the proposed collection of information 

are encouraged. Your comments should 

address one or more of the following 

four points: 

—Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Bureau of Justice 

Statistics, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

—Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

—Evaluate whether and if so how the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected can be 

enhanced; and 

—Minimize the burden of the collection 

of information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of
