SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart E, Oil
and Gas Well-Completion Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0004.
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 the Act related to
the mineral resources on the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease.
Operations on the OCS must preserve,
protect, and develop mineral 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 5(a) of the OCS Lands Act
requires the Secretary to prescribe rules
and regulations ‘‘to provide for the
prevention of waste, and conservation of
the natural resources of the Outer
Continental Shelf, and the protection of
correlative rights therein’’ and to
include provisions ‘‘for the prompt and
efficient exploration and development
of a lease area.’’ These authorities and
responsibilities are among those
delegated to BSEE 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 (IC) request
addresses the regulations at 30 CFR 250,
Subpart E, Oil and Gas Well-Completion
Operations, and any associated
supplementary Notices to Lessees and
Operators (NTLs) intended to provide
clarification, description, or explanation
of these regulations.
In addition to the general rulemaking
authority of the OCSLA at 43 U.S.C.
1334, section 301(a) of the Federal Oil
and Gas Royalty Management Act
(FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants
authority to the Secretary to prescribe
such rules and regulations as are
reasonably necessary to carry out
FOGRMA’s provisions. While the
majority of FOGRMA is directed to
royalty collection and enforcement,
some provisions apply to offshore

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 155 / Monday, August 12, 2013 / Notices
operations. For example, section 108 of
FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1718, grants the
Secretary broad authority to inspect
lease sites for the purpose of
determining whether there is
compliance with the mineral leasing
laws. Section 109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30
U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) and (d)(1), impose
substantial civil penalties for failure to
permit lawful inspections and for
knowing or willful preparation or
submission of false, inaccurate, or
misleading reports, records, or other
information. Because the Secretary has
delegated some of the authority under
FOGRMA to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is
included as additional authority for
these requirements.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 250
implement these statutory requirements.
We use the information to ensure that
planned well-completion operations
will protect personnel and natural
resources. They use the analysis and
evaluation results in the decision to
approve, disapprove, or require
modification to the proposed wellcompletion operations. Specifically,
BSEE uses the information to ensure: (a)
Compliance with personnel safety
training requirements; (b) crown block
safety device is operating and can be
expected to function to avoid accidents;
(c) proposed operation of the annular
preventer is technically correct and
provides adequate protection for
personnel, property, and natural
resources; (d) well-completion
operations are conducted on well
casings that are structurally competent;
and (e) sustained casing pressures are
within acceptable limits.
The BSEE 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.
No items of a sensitive nature are
collected. Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: Responses are generally
weekly, monthly, annually, and vary by
section.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal OCS oil,
gas, and sulphur lessees and holders of
pipeline rights-of-way.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 46,859
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart E, Oil and Gas Well-Completion
Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1014-0004.
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 the Act related to
the mineral resources on the OCS. Such rules and regulations will apply
to all operations conducted under a lease. Operations on the OCS must
preserve, protect, and develop mineral 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 5(a) of the OCS Lands Act requires the Secretary to
prescribe rules and regulations ``to provide for the prevention of
waste, and conservation of the natural resources of the Outer
Continental Shelf, and the protection of correlative rights therein''
and to include provisions ``for the prompt and efficient exploration
and development of a lease area.'' These authorities and
responsibilities are among those delegated to BSEE 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 (IC) request addresses the regulations at 30 CFR
250, Subpart E, Oil and Gas Well-Completion Operations, and any
associated supplementary Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs)
intended to provide clarification, description, or explanation of these
regulations.
In addition to the general rulemaking authority of the OCSLA at 43
U.S.C. 1334, section 301(a) of the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty
Management Act (FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants authority to the
Secretary to prescribe such rules and regulations as are reasonably
necessary to carry out FOGRMA's provisions. While the majority of
FOGRMA is directed to royalty collection and enforcement, some
provisions apply to offshore
[[Page 48894]]
operations. For example, section 108 of FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1718, grants
the Secretary broad authority to inspect lease sites for the purpose of
determining whether there is compliance with the mineral leasing laws.
Section 109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30 U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) and (d)(1), impose
substantial civil penalties for failure to permit lawful inspections
and for knowing or willful preparation or submission of false,
inaccurate, or misleading reports, records, or other information.
Because the Secretary has delegated some of the authority under FOGRMA
to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is included as additional authority for these
requirements.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 250 implement these statutory
requirements. We use the information to ensure that planned well-
completion operations will protect personnel and natural resources.
They use the analysis and evaluation results in the decision to
approve, disapprove, or require modification to the proposed well-
completion operations. Specifically, BSEE uses the information to
ensure: (a) Compliance with personnel safety training requirements; (b)
crown block safety device is operating and can be expected to function
to avoid accidents; (c) proposed operation of the annular preventer is
technically correct and provides adequate protection for personnel,
property, and natural resources; (d) well-completion operations are
conducted on well casings that are structurally competent; and (e)
sustained casing pressures are within acceptable limits.
The BSEE 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. No items of a sensitive nature are
collected. Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: Responses are generally weekly, monthly, annually, and
vary by section.
Description of Respondents: Potential respondents comprise Federal
OCS oil, gas, and sulphur lessees and holders of pipeline rights-of-
way.
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The currently
approved annual reporting burden for this collection is 46,859 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.

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have
identified no 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: Before submitting an ICR to OMB, PRA section
3506(c)(2)(A) 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.
Agencies must also estimate the non-hour paperwork cost burdens to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting from the collection of
information. Therefore, if you have other than hour burden 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. For further
information on this burden, refer to 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(1) and (2), or
contact the Bureau representative listed previously in this notice.
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, 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.
