mineral resources on the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease,
right-of-way, or a right-of-use and
easement. 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; to
preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition; and to ensure that the
extent of oil and natural gas resources
of the OCS is assessed at the earliest
practicable time. Section 43 U.S.C.
1332(6) states that ‘‘operations in the
outer Continental Shelf should be
conducted in a safe manner by welltrained 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.’’
To carry out these responsibilities,
BSEE issues regulations to ensure that
operations in the OCS will meet
statutory requirements; provide for
safety and protect the environment; and
result in diligent exploration,
development, and production of OCS
leases. In addition, we also issue NTLs
that provide clarification, explanation,
and interpretation of our regulations.
These NTLs are used to convey purely
informational material and to cover

situations that might not be adequately
addressed in our regulations.
The subject of this ICR is an NTL, GPS
(Global Positioning System) for MODUs
(Mobile Offshore Drilling Units). This
NTL requires MODUs to be equipped
with multiple tracking/location devices
so that during a storm event (hurricane)
the respondent, as well as BSEE, will
have the capability to monitor their
locations. This NTL also provides BSEE
GPS data access thereby granting us
real-time location information as needed
for the Hurricane Response Team (HRT).
The primary regulation for this IC is
30 CFR part 250, Subpart A, approved
under the OMB Control Number 1014–
0013. However, in connection with this
subpart, the burden requirements in the
NTL are in addition to the currently
approved paperwork burdens under
those requirements.
The information to be collected is
necessary for BSEE to assess the
whereabouts of any MODU becoming
unmoored due to extreme weather
situations; as well as, to follow the path
of that facility to determine if other
facilities/pipelines, etc., were damaged
in any way. The offshore oil and gas
industry will use the information to
determine the safest and quickest way to
either remove the obstacles or to fix and
reuse them.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 250
implement these statutory requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Notice to Lessees and/or Operators (NTL)--Gulf of Mexico OCS
Region--GPS (Global Positioning System) for MODUs (Mobile Offshore
Drilling Units).
OMB Control Number: 1014-0013.
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 to prescribe rules and regulations necessary
for the administration of the leasing provisions of that Act related to
mineral resources on the OCS. Such rules and regulations will apply to
all operations conducted under a lease, right-of-way, or a right-of-use
and easement. 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; to
preserve and maintain free enterprise competition; and to ensure that
the extent of oil and natural gas resources of the OCS is assessed at
the earliest practicable time. Section 43 U.S.C. 1332(6) states that
``operations in the outer 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.''
To carry out these responsibilities, BSEE issues regulations to
ensure that operations in the OCS will meet statutory requirements;
provide for safety and protect the environment; and result in diligent
exploration, development, and production of OCS leases. In addition, we
also issue NTLs that provide clarification, explanation, and
interpretation of our regulations. These NTLs are used to convey purely
informational material and to cover
[[Page 72881]]
situations that might not be adequately addressed in our regulations.
The subject of this ICR is an NTL, GPS (Global Positioning System)
for MODUs (Mobile Offshore Drilling Units). This NTL requires MODUs to
be equipped with multiple tracking/location devices so that during a
storm event (hurricane) the respondent, as well as BSEE, will have the
capability to monitor their locations. This NTL also provides BSEE GPS
data access thereby granting us real-time location information as
needed for the Hurricane Response Team (HRT).
The primary regulation for this IC is 30 CFR part 250, Subpart A,
approved under the OMB Control Number 1014-0013. However, in connection
with this subpart, the burden requirements in the NTL are in addition
to the currently approved paperwork burdens under those requirements.
The information to be collected is necessary for BSEE to assess the
whereabouts of any MODU becoming unmoored due to extreme weather
situations; as well as, to follow the path of that facility to
determine if other facilities/pipelines, etc., were damaged in any way.
The offshore oil and gas industry will use the information to determine
the safest and quickest way to either remove the obstacles or to fix
and reuse them.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 250 implement these statutory
requirements. The information to be collected is necessary for BSEE to

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have
identified 3 non-hour cost burdens associated with the collection of
information. The non-hour cost burdens in this IC total an estimated
$102,500 and they are: the actual GPS device--$325; paying a monthly
tracking fee for devices physically located on a MODU--$50/mo or $600/
year; and renting the GPS devices and paying a monthly tracking fee
totaling--$1,800 per year.
We have not identified any other non-hour cost burdens associated
with this 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 21, 2012,
we published a Federal Register notice (77 FR 37430) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In addition, Sec. 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 received no comments in response to these efforts.

including your personal identifying information--may be made publicly
