information in connection with this
process will not subject them to the
penalties for not providing the
information is still in place. We are
requesting a renewal of this collection to
allow operators more response time over
a longer period to provide the missing
or corrected data.
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: On occasion.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal OCS oil,
gas, and sulphur lessees.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated hour burden for this
information collection is a total of 417
annual burden hours. The respondents
will submit information for a remaining
estimated 500 wells from an original
40,000 wells. Based on our own input,
the concurrence of the contractor hired
for this, and informal discussions with
a few potential respondents, we
estimate it will take respondents 0.5
hours to locate and copy scout tickets
for each well and 2.0 hours to retrieve
and analyze each well file over a 3-year
timeframe (2.5 hours × 500 wells—
1,250/3 = 417 annual burden hours
(rounded)).
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 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010

collection is necessary or useful; (b)
evaluate the accuracy 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
technology.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on May 14, 2012,
we published a Federal Register notice
(77 FR 28401) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In
addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB
control number for the information
collection requirements imposed by the
30 CFR part 250 regulations. The
regulation also informs the public that
they may comment at any time on the
collections of information and provides
the address to which they should send
comments. We have received no
comments in response to this effort.
Public Availability of Comments:
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your

your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment

Title: 30
CFR 254, Oil-Spill Response
Requirements for Facilities Located
Seaward of the Coast Line.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0007.
Abstract: The Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, 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. The authority
and responsibility were delegated to
BSEE by Executive Order 12777—
Implementation of Section 311 of the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act of
October 18, 1972, as Amended, and the
Oil Pollution Act of 1990. Regulations at
30 CFR 254 establish requirements for
spill-response plans for oil-handling

facilities seaward of the coast line,
including associated pipelines. This
request also covers the related Notices
to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that
BSEE issues to clarify, supplement, or
provide additional guidance on some
aspects of our regulations.
The BSEE uses the information
collected under 30 CFR 254 to
determine compliance with OPA by
lessees/operators. Specifically, BSEE
needs the information to:
• Determine that lessees/operators
have an adequate plan and are
sufficiently prepared to implement a
quick and effective response to a
discharge of oil from their facilities or
operations.
• Review plans prepared under the
regulations of a State and submitted to
BSEE to satisfy the requirements in 30
30 CFR 254
and NTLs
CFR 254 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 lead and
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; and
• Assess the efforts of lessees/
operators to prevent oil spills or prevent
substantial threats of such discharges.
No confidential or proprietary
information is collected in 30 CFR 254.
Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion, monthly,
annually, and biennially.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal oil, gas,
or sulphur lessees 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
60,198 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.

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have
identified no 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
collection is necessary or useful; (b) evaluate the accuracy 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
technology.
To comply with the public consultation process, on June 6, 2012, we
published a Federal Register notice (77 FR 33479) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In addition, Sec. 254.9 provides the
OMB control number for the information collection requirements imposed
by the 30 CFR 254 regulations. The regulation also informs the public
that they may comment at any time on the collections of information and
provides the address to which they should send comments. We have
received no comments in response to these efforts.
Public Availability of Comments: Before including your address,
phone number, email 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.
