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, § 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

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: Form MMS–144, Rig Movement
Notification Report.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0150.
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 1332(6) of the Act
requires that ‘‘operations in the [O]uter
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.’’
This ICR concerns the regulations in
30 CFR part 250 Subparts D, E, and F,
specifically §§ 403(c), 502, and 602, on
the movement of drilling, completion,
and workover rigs and related
equipment on and off an offshore
platform or from well to well on the
same offshore platform. The
requirement for operators to notify MMS
of rig movements is only specifically
stated in § 250.403(c). Since MMS is
mandated to perform timely inspections
on rigs and platforms, we must have
accurate information with regard to
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
their location on the OCS. We use this
information in scheduling inspections
with regard to priority and cost
effectiveness.
However, because of the increased
volume of activity in the Gulf of Mexico
Region (GOMR), it is now standard
MMS procedure to require this
notification as a condition of approval
for well workover, recompletion, or
abandonment operations. Because of
this we have included the rig movement
notification with the other general
information collection requirements of
these regulations under OMB control
numbers 1010–0141, 1010–0067, and
1010–0043 (30 CFR part 250, subparts
D, E, and F, respectively). The MMS
District Offices use the information
reported to ascertain the precise arrival
and departure of all rigs in OCS waters.
The accurate location of these rigs is
necessary to better facilitate the
scheduling of inspections by MMS
personnel.
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: The frequency is on
occasion.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 130
Federal OCS oil and gas lessees.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: We
estimate respondents will average 6
minutes to fill out and complete Form
MMS–144. The total annual estimate is
180 burden hours.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have identified no cost
burdens associated for this collection.
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

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 September 28,
2004, we published a Federal Register
notice (69 FR 57960) announcing that
we would submit this ICR to OMB for

required 60-day comment period. In
addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB
control number for the information

form MMS–144. The regulation also
informs the public that they may

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

ADDRESSES section of this notice. OMB
has up to 60 days to approve or

but may respond after 30 days.

minimize the burden on the respondents, including the use of automated

To comply with the public consultation process, on September 28,
2004, we published a Federal Register notice (69 FR 57960) 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 form MMS-144. 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
