regulations that require the subject
collection of information.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 250, subpart I, 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 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 part 250,
subpart I, Platforms and Structures, and
the associated supplementary notices to
lessees and operators (NTLs) intended
to provide clarification, description, or
explanation of these regulations.
Responses are mandatory or are
required to obtain or retain a benefit. No
questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are
asked. The MMS will protect

proprietary information according to the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and its implementing regulations
(43 CFR 2), 30 CFR 250.197 (Data and
information to be made available to the
public or for limited inspection), and 30
CFR part 252 (OCS Oil and Gas
Information Program).
The MMS OCS Regions use the
information submitted under subpart I
to determine the structural integrity of
all offshore structures and ensure that
such integrity will be maintained
throughout the useful life of these
structures. We use the information to
ascertain, on a case-by-case basis, that
the platforms and structures are
structurally sound and safe for their
intended use to ensure safety of
personnel and pollution prevention.
The information is also necessary to
assure that abandonment and site
clearance are properly performed. More
specifically, we use the information to:
• Review data concerning damage to
a platform to assess the adequacy of
proposed repairs.
• Review plans for platform
construction (construction is divided
into three phases—design, fabrication,
and installation) to ensure the structural
integrity of the platform.
• Review verification plans and
reports for unique platforms to ensure
that all nonstandard situations are given
proper consideration during the design,
fabrication, and installation phases of
platform construction.
• Review platform design, fabrication,
and installation records to ensure that
the platform is constructed according to
approved plans.
• Review inspection reports to ensure
that platform integrity is maintained for
the life of the platform.
Frequency: The frequency varies by
section, but is generally ‘‘on occasion’’
or annual.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 130
Federal OCS oil and gas or sulphur
lessees.
Estimated ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The
estimated annual ‘‘hour’’ burden for this
information collection is a total of
60,260 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.

Proposed Issuance of Recordable Disclaimer of Interest; Umatilla
County, Oregon
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Proposed Issuance of Recordable Disclaimer of Interest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: An application has been filed by Kent and Celia Heady for a
recordable disclaimer of interest involving 0.65 acre of land in
Umatilla County, Oregon, to remove a cloud on the title. The United
States did not acquire title to the entire subject parcel because the
land had been adversely possessed prior to the United States taking
title to it. Therefore, the United States of America hereby gives
notice of its intention to disclaim and release all interest in the
land to the owner of record.
DATES: Submit comments on or before May 27, 2008. Only written comments
will be accepted.
ADDRESSES: Address all written comments to Fred O'Ferrall, Chief,
Branch of Lands and Mineral Resources (OR-936), Oregon State Office,
Bureau of Land Management, P.O. Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 97208.
Comments expressed verbally or in electronic format will not be
accepted.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pamela Chappel, Land Law Examiner, at
(503) 808-6170.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 315 of the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), 43 U.S.C. 1745, an
application has been filed by Kent and Celia Heady for issuance of a
recordable disclaimer of interest by the United States affecting the
following described land: Parcel A and Parcel B, section 35, Township 6
South, Range 30 East, Willamette Meridian. The subject land (and other
land) was acquired by the United States from a private entity in the
Northeast Oregon Assembled Land Exchange on December 29, 2000.
In August 2006, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) conducted a
cadastral survey and discovered that the Headys' dwelling encroached on
the United States parcel such that the boundaries as stated in the
titles varied from the boundaries existing on the ground. A subsequent
``Encroachment Report'' was completed and submitted to the Office of
the Regional Solicitor for an opinion of the effect of an adjacent
landowner's occupancy on United States title to acquired lands.
The Office of the Regional Solicitor, Pacific Northwest Office,
concludes that the prior owners to the Headys, Donald Roy Shanafelt and
Priscilla L. Shanafelt, acquired title by adverse possession against a
private entity and then conveyed that interest to the Headys. The
Shanafelts vested claim diminished the title that the private entity
conveyed to another entity and that entity conveyed to the United
States.
Section 315 of the FLPMA authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to issue a recordable disclaimer of interest in land where the
disclaimer will help to remove a cloud on the title under certain
criteria. One criterion is where a record interest of the United States
in the land has terminated by operation of law or is otherwise invalid.
The Bureau of Land Management has reviewed the official records and has
determined that the United States has no claim to or interest in the
above described land and that the issuance of a recordable disclaimer
of interest will help to remove a cloud on the title to the land.
Accordingly, a recordable disclaimer of interest will be issued shortly
after the 90-day comment period.
Public Comments: On or before May 27, 2008, any person may submit
written comments regarding the proposed issuance of a recordable
disclaimer of interest to the Chief, Branch of Lands and Mineral
Resources (OR-936), Oregon State Office, Bureau of Land Management,
P.O. Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 97208.
