require the subject collection of
information.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 250, Oil and Gas
Production Safety Systems.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0058.
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) states that
‘‘operations in the [O]uter Continental
Shelf should be conducted in a safe
manner by well trained personnel using
technology, precautions, and other
techniques sufficient to prevent or
minimize the likelihood of blowouts,
loss of well control, fires, spillages,
physical obstructions 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 notice concerns the reporting
and recordkeeping elements of 30 CFR
250, subpart H, Oil and Gas Production
Safety Systems, and related Notices to
Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that
clarify and provide additional guidance
on some aspects of the regulations.
PO 00000

Responses are mandatory. No questions
of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked. MMS
will protect proprietary information
according to 30 CFR 250.196, ‘‘Data and
information to be made available to the
public,’’ 30 CFR part 252, ‘‘OCS Oil and
Gas Information Program,’’ and the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and its implementing regulations
(43 CFR 2).
MMS OCS Regions use the
information submitted under subpart H
to evaluate equipment and/or
procedures that lessees propose to use
during production operations, including
evaluation of requests for departures or
use of alternative procedures.
Information submitted is also used to
verify the no-flow condition of wells to
continue the waiver of requirements to
install valves capable of preventing
backflow. MMS inspectors review the
records maintained to verify compliance
with testing and minimum safety
requirements.
The Gulf of Mexico OCS Region
(GOMR) has a policy regarding approval
of ‘‘new’’ requests to use a chemicalonly fire prevention and control system
in lieu of a water system. With respect
to ‘‘currently-approved’’ departures,
MMS may require additional
information be submitted to maintain
approval of the departure. The
information is used to determine if the
chemical-only system provides the
equivalent protection of a water system
for the egress of personnel should a fire
occur.
In the Pacific OCS Region, MMS
reviews copies of the Emergency Action
Plans (EAP) that lessees and operators
submit to their local air quality agencies
to ensure that abatement procedures do
not jeopardize safe platform operations.
Frequency: The frequency of reporting
is on occasion or annual.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 117
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
14,445 hours. 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.

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

Minerals Management Service (MMS) is
required to charge the full cost 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. Pipeline
rights-of-way and assignments are
subject to cost recovery, and MMS
regulations specify filing fees for
applications.
This notice concerns the reporting
and recordkeeping elements of 30 CFR
250, subpart J, Pipelines and Pipeline
Rights-of-Way, and related Notices to
Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that
clarify and provide additional guidance
on some aspects of the regulations.
Included with this submission is form
MMS–2030, Outer Continental Shelf
Right-of-Way Grant Bond. Section
250.1011(a) requires applicants for, and
holders of, a right-of-way to provide and
maintain a $300,000 bond (in addition
to the bond coverage required under 30
part CFR 256), as well as additional
security MMS determines is necessary.
Respondents submit form MMS–2030
for these right-of-way grant bonds.
Responses are mandatory. No questions
of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked. MMS
will protect proprietary information
according to 30 CFR 250.196, ‘‘Data and
information to be made available to the
public,’’ 30 CFR part 252, ‘‘OCS Oil and
Gas Information Program,’’ and the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and its implementing regulations
(43 CFR part 2).
The lessees and transmission
companies design the pipelines that
they install, maintain, and operate. To
ensure those activities are performed in
a safe manner, MMS needs information
concerning the proposed pipeline and
safety equipment, inspections and tests,
and natural and manmade hazards near
the proposed pipeline route. MMS field
offices use the information collected
under subpart J to review pipeline
designs prior to approving an
application for a right-of-way or a
pipeline permitted under a lease to
ensure that the pipeline, as constructed,
will provide for safe transportation of
minerals through the submerged lands
of the OCS. They review proposed
routes of a right-of-way to ensure that
the right-of-way, if granted, would not
conflict with any State requirements or
unduly interfere with other OCS
activities. MMS field offices review
plans for taking pipeline safety
equipment out of service to ensure
alternate measures are used that will
properly provide for the safety of the
pipeline and associated facilities
(platform, etc.). They review notification
of relinquishment of a right-of-way grant
and requests to abandon pipelines to

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 June 1, 2005, we
published a Federal Register notice (70 FR 31506) 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. 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 February 22, 2006.
Public Comment Procedures: MMS's practice is to make comments,
including names and addresses of respondents, available for public
review. If you wish your name and/or address to be withheld, you must
state this
[[Page 3530]]
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.
