<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 9, 2008 / Notices
approved under the OMB Control
Number 1010–0149. However, in
connection with this subpart, MMS
believes that the burden hour
requirements in the proposed NTL are
in addition to the currently approved
paperwork burden under those
requirements.
With regard to the OCS Pipelines
section of this NTL, MMS has the
authority to collect the information
requested under 30 CFR Part 250,
Subpart J, Pipelines and Pipeline Rightsof-Way. The OMB has already approved
the collection of pipeline information
under OMB Control Number 1010–0050.
Emergency NTLs were issued relating
to this same subject—structural damage
caused by hurricanes—in 2003 after
Hurricane Lili, in 2004 after Hurricane
Ivan, and in 2005 after Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita. Due to the nature of
these incidents and their increasing
occurrences, immediately after
Hurricane Ivan, proposed rulemaking
was started to require lessees to submit
to MMS information about structure
damage on the OCS due to natural
phenomena, e.g., hurricanes,
earthquakes. The final rule is currently
in the surnaming process and OMB has
issued Regulation Identifier Number
1010–AD18.
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 or for limited inspection. No
items of a sensitive nature are collected.
Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: Monthly; and as specified
in the NTL.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 130
Federal OCS oil and gas lessees.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 26,880
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.
Reporting requirement
Hour burden
Prepare and submit to MMS: (1) List of impacted OCS structures, (2) timetable for inspections, and (3) inspection plan for each
listed platform describing work to determine condition of structure ................................................................................................
Submit amendments to list and inspection plans ................................................................................................................................
Submit report to MMS describing detected damage that may adversely affect structural integrity, including assessment of ability
to withstand anticipated environmental storm conditions, and any remediation plans ...................................................................
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
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
‘‘* * * 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
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: Before
including your address, phone number,
e-mail address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that

to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
