SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: 30 CFR part 250, subpart A, Oil and Gas and Sulfur 
Operations in the OCS--General.
    Form(s): BSEE-0132, BSEE-0143, BSEE-1832.
    OMB Control Number: 1014-0022.
    Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act at 43 U.S.C. 
1334 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.
    In addition to the general rulemaking authority of the OCSLA at 43 
U.S.C. 1334, 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 108 of 
FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1718, grants the Secretary broad authority to inspect 
lease sites for the purpose of determining whether there is compliance 
with the mineral leasing laws. 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. Because the Secretary has delegated some of the 
authority under FOGRMA to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is included as 
additional authority for these requirements.
    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. A request for approval required in 30 
CFR 250.171 is subject to cost recovery, and BSEE regulations specify 
service fees for these requests in 30 CFR 250.125.
    The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1331(j)(1)(C)) 
authorizes the President to adopt regulations that establish 
procedures, methods and equipment requirements to prevent oil spills 
and other hazardous substance discharges from offshore and other 
facilities. The regulatory authority for offshore facilities has been 
delegated to the Secretary and further delegated by the Secretary to 
BSEE. The regulations at 30 CFR part 250, subpart A, require compliance 
with all applicable BSEE regulations, including those intended to 
prevent or reduce discharges of oil and other hazardous substances. 
These authorities and responsibilities are among those delegated to 
BSEE. The regulations at 30 CFR part 250, subpart A, concern the 
general regulatory requirements of oil, gas, and sulfur operations in 
the OCS (including the associated forms), and are the subject of

this collection. This request also covers any related Notices to 
Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that BSEE issues to clarify, supplement, 
or provide additional guidance on some aspects of our regulations.
    The BSEE uses the information collected under the Subpart A 
regulations to ensure that operations on the OCS are carried out in a 
safe and pollution-free manner, do not interfere with the rights of 
other users on the OCS, and balance the protection and development of 
OCS resources. Specifically, we use the information collected to:
    <bullet> Review records of formal crane operator and rigger 
training, crane operator qualifications, crane inspections, testing, 
and maintenance to ensure that lessees/operators perform operations in 
a safe and workmanlike manner and that equipment is maintained in a 
safe condition. The BSEE also uses the information to make certain that 
all new and existing cranes installed on OCS fixed platforms must be 
equipped with anti-two block safety devices, and to assure that uniform 
methods are employed by lessees for load testing of cranes.
    <bullet> Review welding plans, procedures, and records to ensure 
that welding is conducted in a safe and workmanlike manner by trained 
and experienced personnel.
    <bullet> Provide lessees/operators greater flexibility to comply 
with regulatory requirements through approval of alternative equipment 
or procedures and departures to regulations if they demonstrate equal 
or better compliance with the appropriate performance standards.
    <bullet> Ensure that injection of gas promotes conservation of 
natural resources and prevents waste.
    <bullet> Record the agent and local agent empowered to receive 
notices and comply with regulatory orders issued.
    <bullet> Provide for orderly development of leases through the use 
of information to determine the appropriateness of lessee/operator 
requests for suspension of operations, including production.
    <bullet> Improve safety and environmental protection on the OCS 
through collection and analysis of accident reports to ascertain the 
cause of the accidents and to determine ways to prevent recurrences.
    <bullet> Ascertain when the lease ceases production or when the 
last well ceases production in order to determine the 180th day after 
the date of completion of the last production. The BSEE will use this 
information to efficiently maintain the lessee/operator lease status.
    <bullet> Allow lessees/operators who exhibit unacceptable 
performance an 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 Sec. Sec.  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.
    The forms associated with this information collection request are 
as follows:
    The BSEE Environmental Compliance Division has decided to 
discontinue use of BSEE Form-0011, Internet Based Safety and 
Environmental Enforcement Reporting System (Isee), due to an evolving 
program and changes in management. The information submitted under 
Sec.  250.193 instructs the public on what information and where to 
submit possible violations making the form obsolete.
    Form BSEE-1832, Incident(s) of Noncompliance (INCs), is used to 
determine that respondents have corrected all incident(s) of 
noncompliance identified during inspections. Everything on the INC form 
is filled out by a BSEE inspector/representative. Industry is only 
required to sign this form upon receipt and respond to BSEE when each 
INC has been corrected, no later than 14 days from the date of 
issuance.
    Form BSEE-0132, Hurricane and Tropical Storm Evacuation and 
Production Curtailment Statistics, is used in the Gulf of Mexico OCS 
Region (GOMR) to obtain general information, such as company name, 
contact, date, time, telephone number; as well as number of platforms 
and drilling rigs evacuated and not evacuated, and production shut-in 
statistics for oil (BOPD) and gas (MMSCFD).
    Form BSEE-0143, Facility/Equipment Damage Report, is used to assess 
initial damage to a structure or equipment and then be aware of changes 
until the damaged structure or equipment is returned to service, as 
well as to assess the 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).
    Most responses are mandatory, while others are required to obtain 
or retain benefits, or are voluntary. 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 250.197, Data and information to be made available to the public or 
for limited inspection, and 30 CFR part 252, OCS Oil and Gas 
Information Program.
    Frequency: On occasion, daily, weekly, monthly, and varies by 
section.
    Description of Respondents: Potential respondents comprise Federal 
OCS oil, gas, or sulfur lessees and/or operators and holders of 
pipeline rights-of-way.
    Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The estimated 
annual hour burden for this information collection is a total of 99,866 
hours and $222,915 non-hour costs. 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.

* In the future, BSEE may require electronic filing of some submissions.

    Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have 
identified one non-hour cost burden. Requests for a Suspension of 
Operation or a Suspension of Production (Sec.  250.171) require a cost 
recovery fee of $2,123. We have not identified any other non-hour cost 
burdens associated with this collection of information.
    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: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et 
seq.,) 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 
collection is necessary or useful; (b) evaluate the accuracy 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 
technology.
    To comply with the public consultation process, on March 15, 2017, 
we published a Federal Register notice (82 FR 13846) announcing that we 
would submit this ICR to OMB for approval. The notice provided the 
required 60-day comment period. In addition, Sec.  250.199 provides the 
OMB Control Number for the information collection requirements imposed 
by the 30 CFR 250, Subpart A regulations and forms. The regulation also 
informs the public that they may comment at any time on the collections 
of information and provides the address to which they should send 
comments. Between the last collection submitted and this collection, we 
received eight comments from private citizens. None of the comments 
received were germane to this collection of information.
    Public Availability of Comments: 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.
