SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 250, subparts J, H, and
I, Fixed and Floating Platforms and
Structures.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0149.
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 administer leasing of the
OCS. Such rules and regulations will
apply to all operations conducted under
a lease. 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.’’ These
authorities and responsibilities are
among those delegated to the MMS to
ensure that operations in the OCS will
meet statutory requirements; provide for
safety and protection of the
environment; and result in diligent
exploration, development, and
production of OCS leases.
On December 27, 2001, a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) (66 FR
66851), provided the initial 60-day
review and comment process. This
notice is a renewal of the information
requirements for the rulemaking and for
what we expect to be in our final
rulemaking.
The industry standards incorporated
into our regulations through this
rulemaking:
• Result in a complete rewrite and retitling of our current regulations at 30
CFR part 250, subpart I, Platforms and
Structures. The currently approved
information collection for this subpart
(1010–0058) will be superseded by this
collection when final regulations take
effect.
• Revise regulations at 30 CFR part
250, subpart H, Oil and Gas Production
Safety Systems (1010–0059); and
subpart J, Pipelines and Pipeline Rightsof-Way (1010–0050). When final
regulations take effect, we will add the
new requirements and hour burdens to
the respective information collections
currently approved for these subparts.
• Make changes to definitions,
documents incorporated by reference,
and other minor revisions to regulations
at 30 CFR part 250, subpart A, General
(1010–0114); and subpart B, Exploration
and Development and Production Plans
(1010–0049). However, the proposed
changes do not add any new
information collection requirements,
nor affect those currently approved.
MMS will use the information
collected and records maintained under
subpart I to determine the structural
integrity of all offshore platforms and
floating production facilities and to
ensure that such integrity will be
maintained throughout the useful life of
these structures. The information is
necessary to determine that fixed and
floating platforms and structures are
sound and safe for their intended
purpose and for the safety of personnel
and pollution prevention. MMS will use
the information collected under
subparts H and J to ensure proper
construction of production safety
systems and pipelines.
Although the revised regulations
would specifically cover floating
E:\FR\FM\22FEN1.SGM
22FEN1
8618
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 22, 2005 / Notices
production facilities as well as
platforms, this is not a new category of
information collection. MMS has always
permitted these facilities on a case-bycase basis. Incorporating the new
documents provides industry with
specific standards by which we will
hold them accountable in the design,
fabrication, and installation of platforms
and floating production facilities
offshore. Making mandatory these now
voluntary standards would dictate that
respondents comply with the
requirements in the incorporated
documents. This includes certified
verification agent (CVA) review for
some areas that current regulations do
not require, but the voluntary standards
recommend. The revised regulations
will increase the number of CVA
nominations and reports associated with
the facilities and require hazards
analysis documentation for new floating
production facilities.
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) and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.196, ‘‘Data
and information to be made available to
the public.’’ No items of a sensitive
nature are collected. Responses are
mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion, annual; and
results of situations encountered.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 136
Federal OCS oil and gas or sulphur
lessees.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The
estimated annual ‘‘hour’’ burden for this
information collection is a total of
48,500 hours. During the interim period
between proposed and final rules, OMB
approved the renewal of the information
collection burden in the current subpart
I regulations (1010–0058). After
consultations with respondents, we
revised the estimates of the hour
burdens and the annual number of
responses. We have incorporated those
updated burden adjustments in this
renewal. Therefore we are requesting an
‘‘adjustment’’ increase of 11,306 hours
for 1010–0159. The following chart
details the current 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.

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
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.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on August 10,
2004, we published a Federal Register
notice (69 FR 48518) announcing that
we would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In
addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB
control number for the information
collection requirements imposed by the
30 CFR 250 regulations and forms. The
regulation also informs the public that
they may comment at any time on the
VerDate jul<14>2003
19:10 Feb 18, 2005
Jkt 205001
collections of information and provides
the address to which they should send
comments. We have received no
comments in response to these efforts.
If you wish to comment in response
to this notice, you may send your
comments to the offices listed under the
ADDRESSES section of this notice. OMB
has up to 60 days to approve or
disapprove the information collection
but may respond after 30 days.
Therefore, to ensure maximum
consideration, OMB should receive
public comments by March 24, 2005.
Public Comment Policy: MMS’s
practice is to make comments, including
names and addresses of respondents,
available for public review during
regular business hours. If you wish your
name and/or address to be withheld,
you must state this prominently at the
beginning of your comment. MMS will
honor the request to the extent
allowable by the law; however,
anonymous comments will not be
considered. All submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, will be
made available for public inspection in
their entirety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 250, subparts J, H, and I, Fixed and Floating
Platforms and Structures.
OMB Control Number: 1010-0149.
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 administer leasing of the OCS. Such rules and
regulations will apply to all operations conducted under a lease.
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.'' These authorities and responsibilities are among
those delegated to the MMS to ensure that operations in the OCS will
meet statutory requirements; provide for safety and protection of the
environment; and result in diligent exploration, development, and
production of OCS leases.
On December 27, 2001, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) (66 FR
66851), provided the initial 60-day review and comment process. This
notice is a renewal of the information requirements for the rulemaking
and for what we expect to be in our final rulemaking.
The industry standards incorporated into our regulations through
this rulemaking:
Result in a complete rewrite and re-titling of our current
regulations at 30 CFR part 250, subpart I, Platforms and Structures.
The currently approved information collection for this subpart (1010-
0058) will be superseded by this collection when final regulations take
effect.
Revise regulations at 30 CFR part 250, subpart H, Oil and
Gas Production Safety Systems (1010-0059); and subpart J, Pipelines and
Pipeline Rights-of-Way (1010-0050). When final regulations take effect,
we will add the new requirements and hour burdens to the respective
information collections currently approved for these subparts.
Make changes to definitions, documents incorporated by
reference, and other minor revisions to regulations at 30 CFR part 250,
subpart A, General (1010-0114); and subpart B, Exploration and
Development and Production Plans (1010-0049). However, the proposed
changes do not add any new information collection requirements, nor
affect those currently approved.
MMS will use the information collected and records maintained under
subpart I to determine the structural integrity of all offshore
platforms and floating production facilities and to ensure that such
integrity will be maintained throughout the useful life of these
structures. The information is necessary to determine that fixed and
floating platforms and structures are sound and safe for their intended
purpose and for the safety of personnel and pollution prevention. MMS
will use the information collected under subparts H and J to ensure
proper construction of production safety systems and pipelines.
Although the revised regulations would specifically cover floating
[[Page 8618]]
production facilities as well as platforms, this is not a new category
of information collection. MMS has always permitted these facilities on
a case-by-case basis. Incorporating the new documents provides industry
with specific standards by which we will hold them accountable in the
design, fabrication, and installation of platforms and floating
production facilities offshore. Making mandatory these now voluntary
standards would dictate that respondents comply with the requirements
in the incorporated documents. This includes certified verification
agent (CVA) review for some areas that current regulations do not
require, but the voluntary standards recommend. The revised regulations
will increase the number of CVA nominations and reports associated with
the facilities and require hazards analysis documentation for new
floating production facilities.
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) and under regulations at 30
CFR 250.196, ``Data and information to be made available to the
public.'' No items of a sensitive nature are collected. Responses are
mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion, annual; and results of situations
encountered.
Estimated Number and Description of Respondents: Approximately 136
Federal OCS oil and gas or sulphur lessees.
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Hour'' Burden: The
estimated annual ``hour'' burden for this information collection is a
total of 48,500 hours. During the interim period between proposed and
final rules, OMB approved the renewal of the information collection
burden in the current subpart I regulations (1010-0058). After
consultations with respondents, we revised the estimates of the hour
burdens and the annual number of responses. We have incorporated those
updated burden adjustments in this renewal. Therefore we are requesting
an ``adjustment'' increase of 11,306 hours for 1010-0159. The following
chart details the current 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 no paperwork ``non-hour cost'' burdens associated with
the 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
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.
To comply with the public consultation process, on August 10, 2004,
we published a Federal Register notice (69 FR 48518) 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 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. We have received no comments in response to these efforts.
If you wish to comment in response to this notice, you may send
your comments to the offices listed under the ADDRESSES section of this
notice. OMB has up to 60 days to approve or disapprove the information
collection but may respond after 30 days. Therefore, to ensure maximum
consideration, OMB should receive public comments by March 24, 2005.
Public Comment Policy: MMS's practice is to make comments,
including names and addresses of respondents, available for public
review during regular business hours. If you wish your name and/or
address to be withheld, you must state this prominently at the
beginning of your comment. MMS will honor the request to the extent
allowable by the law; however, anonymous comments will not be
considered. All submissions from organizations or businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, will be made available for public
inspection in their entirety.
