SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart F, Oil and
Gas Well-Workover Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0043.
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 5(a) of the OCS Lands Act
requires the Secretary to prescribe rules
and regulations ‘‘to provide for the
prevention of waste, and conservation of
the natural resources of the Outer
Continental Shelf, and the protection of
correlative rights therein’’ and to
include provisions ‘‘for the prompt and
efficient exploration and development
of a lease area.’’ These authorities and
responsibilities are among those
delegated to the Minerals Management
Service (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. This information collection
request addresses the regulations at 30
CFR 250, Subpart F, Oil and Gas WellWorkover Operations and the associated
supplementary Notices to Lessees and
Operators (NTLs) intended to provide
clarification, description, or explanation
of these regulations.
MMS District Managers use the
information collected to analyze and
evaluate planned well-workover
operations to ensure that operations
result in personnel safety and protection
of the environment. They use this
evaluation in making decisions to
approve, disapprove, or to require
modification to the proposed wellworkover operations. For example,
MMS uses the information to:
• Review log entries of crew meetings
to verify that safety procedures have
been properly reviewed.
• Review well-workover procedures
relating to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to
ensure the safety of the crew in the
event of encountering H2S.
• Review well-workover diagrams
and procedures to ensure the safety of
well-workover operations.
• Verify that the crown block safety
device is operating and can be expected
to function and avoid accidents.
• Verify that the proposed operation
of the annular preventer is technically
correct and will provide adequate
protection for personnel, property, and
natural resources.
• Verify the reasons for postponing
blowout preventer (BOP) tests, verify
the state of readiness of the equipment
and to ascertain that the equipment
meets safety standards and
requirements, ensure that BOP tests
have been conducted in the manner and
frequency to promote personnel safety
and protect natural resources. Specific
testing information must be recorded to
verify that the proper test procedures
were followed.
• Assure that the well-workover
operations are conducted on well casing
that is structurally competent.
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 250.197, ‘‘Data
and information to be made available to
the public.’’ No items of a sensitive
nature are collected. Responses are
mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion, weekly,
monthly, varies by section.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 130
Federal OCS lessees and operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 19,459
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.
