SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Increased Safety Measures for 

Energy Development on the OCS, NTL 

No. 2010–N05. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0182. 

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 manage the mineral 

resources of the OCS. Such rules and 

regulations will apply to all operations 

conducted under a lease, right-of-use 

and easement, and pipeline right-ofway. 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; 

preserve and maintain free enterprise 

competition; and ensure that the extent 

of oil and natural gas resources of the 

OCS is assessed at the earliest 

practicable time. 43 U.S.C. 1332(6) 

states that ‘‘operations in the outer 

Continental Shelf should be conducted 

in a safe manner by well-trained 

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.’’ 

To carry out these responsibilities, 

BOEMRE issues regulations to ensure 

that operations in the OCS will meet 

statutory requirements; provide for 

safety and protect the environment; and 

result in diligent exploration, 

development, and production of OCS 

leases. In addition, we also issue NTLs 

that provide clarification, explanation, 

and interpretation of our regulations. 

These NTLs are also used to convey 

purely informational material and to 

cover situations that might not be 

adequately addressed in our regulations. 

The latter is the case for the information 

collection required in the NTL. Because 

of the unusual nature of this 

information collection, issuing an NTL 

is the appropriate means to collect the 

information at the time of the event. 

The subject of this ICR is an NTL 

based on the recommendations in the 

May 27, 2010, Report from the Secretary 

of the Interior to the President of the 

United States, Increased Safety 

Measures for Energy Development on 

the Outer Continental Shelf (Report). 

BOEMRE issued NTLs for operators to 

comply with the requirements and 

recommendations of the report as a 

result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill 

in the Gulf of Mexico. This collection 

pertains to one NTL, covered under the 

regulations at 30 CFR part 250, subparts, 

A, D, E, and F. The primary information 

collections for these regulations are 

approved under the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) Control 

Numbers 1010–0114, 1010–0141, 1010- 

0067, and 1010–0043, respectively. 

However, BOEMRE believes that the 

paperwork burdens in the NTL are in 

addition to those currently approved. 

Only one of the requirements in the 

NTL has not yet been fully met; 

therefore, we are renewing that 

requirement in this collection to allow 

operators and/or lessees more response 

time than allowed by the original 

emergency OMB request. 

BOEMRE issued this NTL for lessees 

and operators to comply with the 

requirements and recommendations of 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 201 / Tuesday, October 19, 2010 / Notices 64349 

the report as a result of the Deepwater 

Horizon accident and subsequent oil 

spill in the Gulf of Mexico. These events 

highlight the importance of ensuring 

safe operations on the OCS. 

The information to be collected is 

necessary for BOEMRE to assess safety 

equipment; ensure the OCS is managed 

in a safe manner that includes 

considering available environmental 

information and implementing best 

available and safest technology. 

BOEMRE will use the information 

collected to evaluate each operator to 

ensure compliance to BOEMRE 

regulations, review documentation for 

corrective action, and assess each risk 

analysis of deepwater drilling. 

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), under 

regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, Data and 

information to be made available to the 

public or for limited inspection, and 30 

CFR 252, OCS Oil and Gas Information 

Program. No items of a sensitive nature 

are collected. Responses are mandatory. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

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 9,028 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. 

NTL No. 2010–N05—Reporting requirement Hour burden 

BOP Certification Requirements for Floating Drilling Operations.—Submit independent third party (ITP) 

physical inspection and design review of BOP in accordance with OEM specs and standards [will cost 

approximately $25,000 to $250,000 depending on size etc., average cost = $112,500]. Include description of the ITP’s qualifications.

$112,500 per third-party physical 

inspection and design reviews— 

30 mins. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified one non-hour 

paperwork cost burdens for this 

collection. The non-hour cost burden is 

$112,500 for each third party physical 

inspection and design review. 

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 paperwork 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. 

Public Comment Procedures: Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email address, or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
