SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 254, Oil-Spill Response
Requirements for Facilities Located
Seaward of the Coast Line.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0091.
Abstract: The Federal Water Pollution
Control Act (FWPCA), as amended by
the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA),
requires that a spill-response plan be
submitted for offshore facilities prior to
February 18, 1993. The OPA specifies
that after that date, an offshore facility
may not handle, store, or transport oil
unless a plan has been submitted. This
authority and responsibility are among
those delegated to the Minerals
Management Service (MMS) by
Executive Order 12777. Regulations at
30 CFR 254 establish requirements for
spill-response plans for oil-handling
Citation 30 CFR 254 and
NTLs
facilities seaward of the coast line,
including associated pipelines.
The MMS uses the information
collected under 30 CFR 254 to
determine compliance with OPA by
owners/operators. Specifically, MMS
needs the information to:
• Determine effectiveness of the spillresponse capability of owners/operators.
• Review plans prepared under the
regulations of a State and submitted to
MMS to satisfy the requirements to
ensure that they meet minimum
requirements of OPA.
• Verify that personnel involved in
oil-spill response are properly trained
and familiar with the requirements of
the spill-response plans and to witness
spill-response exercises.
• Assess the sufficiency and
availability of contractor equipment and
materials.
• Verify that sufficient quantities of
equipment are available and in working
order.
• Oversee spill-response efforts and
maintain official records of pollution
events.
• Assess the efforts of owners/
operators to prevent oil spills or prevent
substantial threats of such discharges.
Reporting requirement
61361
No proprietary, confidential, or
sensitive information is collected.
However, we will protect any
information from respondents
considered proprietary under the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and its implementing regulations

annually, biennially, and triennially.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Respondents comprise
owners or operators of facilities located
in both State and Federal waters
seaward of the coast line and oil spill
response companies.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
information collection is a total of
35,070 hours. 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 paperwork nonhour 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 May 1, 2009,
we published a Federal Register notice
(74 FR 20332) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In
addition, 30 CFR 254.9 displays the
OMB control number, specifies that the
public may comment at anytime on the
collection of information required in the
30 CFR 254 regulations, and provides
the address to which they should send
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
comments. We have received no
comments in response to those 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. The
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 December 24, 2009.
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
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

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 May 1, 2009, we
published a Federal Register notice (74 FR 20332) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In addition, 30 CFR 254.9 displays the
OMB control number, specifies that the public may comment at anytime on
the collection of information required in the 30 CFR 254 regulations,
and provides the address to which they should send comments. We have
received no comments in response to those 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. The 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
December 24, 2009.
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 your entire comment--including
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
