SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart E, Oil
and Gas Well-Completion Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0067.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, 43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.
and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et. seq., requires the
Secretary of the Interior to preserve,
protect, and develop oil and gas
resources in the OCS 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;
balance orderly energy resources
development with protection of the
human, marine, and coastal
environment; ensure the public a fair
and equitable return on OCS resources;
and preserve and maintain free
enterprise competition. Section 1332(6)
of the OCS Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1332)
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 authority and responsibility are
among those delegated to the Minerals
Management Service (MMS). To carry
out these responsibilities, MMS issues
regulations governing oil and gas and
sulphur operations in the OCS. This
information collection request (ICR)
addresses 30 CFR part 250, Subpart E,
Oil and Gas Well-Completion
Operations and the associated
supplementary Notices to Lessees and
Operators (NTL) intended to provide
clarification, description, or explanation
of these regulations.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 250
implement these statutory requirements.
The MMS District Managers analyze and
evaluate the information and data
collected under Subpart E to ensure that
planned well-completion operations
will protect personnel safety and natural
resources. They use the analysis and
evaluation results in the decision to
approve, disapprove, or require
modification to the proposed wellcompletion operations. Specifically,
MMS uses the information to ensure: (a)
Compliance with personnel safety
training requirements; (b) crown block
safety device is operating and can be
expected to function to avoid accidents;
(c) proposed operation of the annular
preventer is technically correct and
provides adequate protection for
personnel, property, and natural
resources; (d) well-completion
operations are conducted on well
casings that are structurally competent;
and (e) sustained casing pressures are
within acceptable limits.
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, annually, and 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 11,995
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.

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have identified no ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burdens 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: Before submitting an ICR
to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
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.
Agencies must also estimate the ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burdens to respondents or
recordkeepers resulting from the
collection of information. Therefore, if
you have costs to generate, maintain,
and disclose this information, you
should comment and provide your total
capital and startup cost components or
annual operation, maintenance, and
purchase of service components. You
should describe the methods you use to
estimate major cost factors, including
system and technology acquisition,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:04 Jan 26, 2007
Jkt 211001
expected useful life of capital
equipment, discount rate(s), and the
period over which you incur costs.
Capital and startup costs include,
among other items, computers and
software you purchase to prepare for
collecting information, monitoring, and
record storage facilities. You should not
include estimates for equipment or
services purchased: (i) Before October 1,
1995; (ii) to comply with requirements
not associated with the information
collection; (iii) for reasons other than to
provide information or keep records for
the Government; or (iv) as part of
customary and usual business or private
practices.
We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
submission for OMB approval. As a
result of your comments, we will make
any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.
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
prominently at the beginning of your
comment. MMS will honor this request
to the extent allowable by law; however,
anonymous comments will not be
considered. There may be circumstances
in which we would withhold from the
record a respondent’s identity, as
allowable by the law. If you wish us to
withhold your name and/or address,
you must state this prominently at the
beginning of your comment. In addition,
you must present a rationale for
withholding this information. This
rationale must demonstrate that
disclosure ‘‘would constitute an
unwarranted invasion of privacy.’’
Unsupported assertions will not meet
this burden. In the absence of
PO 00000

exceptional, documentable
circumstances, this information will be
released. 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.

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Non-Hour Cost'' Burden: We
have identified no ``non-hour cost'' burdens 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: Before submitting an ICR to OMB, PRA section
3506(c)(2)(A) 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.
Agencies must also estimate the ``non-hour cost'' burdens to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting from the collection of
information. Therefore, if you have costs to generate, maintain, and
disclose this information, you should comment and provide your total
capital and startup cost components or annual operation, maintenance,
and purchase of service components. You should describe the methods you
use to estimate major cost factors, including system and technology
acquisition, expected useful life of capital equipment, discount
rate(s), and the period over which you incur costs. Capital and startup
costs include, among other items, computers and software you purchase
to prepare for collecting information, monitoring, and record storage
facilities. You should not include estimates for equipment or services
purchased: (i) Before October 1, 1995; (ii) to comply with requirements
not associated with the information collection; (iii) for reasons other
than to provide information or keep records for the Government; or (iv)
as part of customary and usual business or private practices.
We will summarize written responses to this notice and address them
in our submission for OMB approval. As a result of your comments, we
will make any necessary adjustments to the burden in our submission to
OMB.
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 prominently at the beginning of your comment. MMS will honor
this request to the extent allowable by law; however, anonymous
comments will not be considered. There may be circumstances in which we
would withhold from the record a respondent's identity, as allowable by
the law. If you wish us to withhold your name and/or address, you must
state this prominently at the beginning of your comment. In addition,
you must present a rationale for withholding this information. This
rationale must demonstrate that disclosure ``would constitute an
unwarranted invasion of privacy.'' Unsupported assertions will not meet
this burden. In the absence of exceptional, documentable circumstances,
this information will be released. 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.
