regulations. BSEE uses the information 

collected under subpart L to ensure that 

the volumes of hydrocarbons produced 

are measured accurately, and royalties 

are paid on the proper volumes. 

Specifically, BSEE needs the 

information to: 

Liquid Hydrocarbon Measurement 

• Determine if measurement 

equipment is properly installed, 

provides accurate measurement of 

production on which royalty is due, and 

is operating properly; 

• Ascertain if all removals of oil and 

condensate from the lease are reported; 

• Obtain rates of production 

measured at royalty meters, which can 

be examined during field inspections; 

Gas Measurement 

• Ensure that the sales location is 

secure and production cannot be 

removed without the volumes being 

recorded; 

Surface Commingling 

• Review gas volume statements and 

compare them with the Oil and Gas 

Operations Reports to verify accuracy. 

Miscellaneous & Recordkeeping 

• Review proving reports to verify 

that data on run tickets are calculated 

and reported accurately.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1), all information collections 

require approval under the PRA. We 

may not conduct, or sponsor and you 

are not required to respond to a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we invite the public and other 

Federal agencies 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. 

We are especially interested in public 

comment addressing the following: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How might the agency minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of

Abstract: The regulations at 30 CFR 

250, subpart P, concern sulfur 

operations on the OCS 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. Currently, there are no 

active sulfur lease operations on the 

OCS. Therefore, this ICR and its relevant 

hours represent one potential 

respondent. 

BSEE uses the information collected 

under subpart P to: 

• Ascertain that a discovered sulfur 

deposit can be classified as capable of 

production in paying quantities. 

• ensure accurate and complete 

measurement of production to 

determine the amount of sulfur royalty 

payments due the United States; and 

that the sale locations are secure, 

production has been measured 

accurately, and appropriate follow-up 

actions are initiated. 

• ensure the adequacy and safety of 

firefighting systems; the drilling unit is 

fit for the intended purpose; and the 

adequacy of casing for anticipated 

conditions. 

• review drilling, well-completion, 

well-workover diagrams and 

procedures, as well as production 

operation procedures to ensure the 

safety of the proposed sulfur drilling, 

well-completion, well-workover and 

proposed production operations. 

• monitor environmental data during 

sulfur operations in offshore areas 

where such data are not already 

available to provide a valuable source of 

information to evaluate the performance 

of drilling rigs under various weather 

and ocean conditions. This information 

is necessary to make reasonable 

determinations regarding safety of 

operations and environmental 

protection. 

Title of Collection: 30 CFR 250,

OMB Control Number: 1014–0006. 

Form Number: None.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: There are no non-hour cost
