OMB Control Number: 1014–0003.
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,
pipeline right-of-way, or a right-of-use
and easement. Section 1332(6) states
that ‘‘operations in the [O]uter
Continental Shelf should be conducted
in a safe manner by well trained
personnel using technology,
precautions, and other techniques
sufficient to prevent or minimize the
likelihood of blowouts, loss of well
control, fires, spillages, physical
obstructions 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.’’
In addition to the general authority of
OCS Lands Act, 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
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. The Secretary has
delegated some of the authority under
FOGRMA to BSEE.
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. Under the Department
of the Interior’s implementing policy,
the Bureau of Safety and Environmental
Enforcement (BSEE) is required to
charge fees for services that provide
special benefits or privileges to an
identifiable non-Federal recipient above
and beyond those which accrue to the
public at large. Facility Production

Safety System Applications are subject
to cost recovery and BSEE regulations
specify filing fees for these applications.
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are among those
delegated to the BSEE. The regulations
at 30 CFR part 250, Subpart H, pertain
to governing oil and gas production
safety systems, and any related Notices
to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that
BSEE issues to clarify and provide
additional guidance on some aspects of
the regulations.
We use the information to evaluate
equipment and/or procedures that
lessees and operators propose to use
during production operations, including
evaluation of requests for departures or
use of alternate procedures or
equipment. Information is also used to
verify that production operations are
safe and protect the human, marine, and
coastal environment. The BSEE
inspectors review the records required
by this subpart to verify compliance

with testing and minimum safety
requirements.
The Gulf of Mexico OCS Region
(GOMR) has a policy regarding approval
of requests to use a chemical-only fire
prevention and control system in lieu of
a water system. The BSEE may require
additional information be submitted to
maintain approval. The information is
used to determine if the chemical-only
system provides the equivalent
protection of a water system for the
egress of personnel should a fire occur.
We will protect personally
identifiable information about
individuals according to the Privacy Act
(5 U.S.C. 552a) and DOI’s implementing
regulations (43 CFR 2). No questions of
a sensitive nature are asked. We protect
proprietary information according to the

burdens. In this submission, we are
requesting a total of 92,341 burden
hours and $323,481 non-hour cost
burdens. The following chart details the
individual components and respective
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.

Department of the Interior's implementing policy, the Bureau of Safety
and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) is required to charge fees for
services that provide special benefits or privileges to an identifiable
non-Federal recipient above and beyond those which accrue to the public
at large. Facility Production
[[Page 48758]]
Safety System Applications are subject to cost recovery and BSEE
regulations specify filing fees for these applications.
Regulations implementing these responsibilities are among those
delegated to the BSEE. The regulations at 30 CFR part 250, Subpart H,
pertain to governing oil and gas production safety systems, and any
related Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that BSEE issues to
clarify and provide additional guidance on some aspects of the
regulations.
We use the information to evaluate equipment and/or procedures that
lessees and operators propose to use during production operations,
including evaluation of requests for departures or use of alternate
procedures or equipment. Information is also used to verify that
production operations are safe and protect the human, marine, and
coastal environment. The BSEE inspectors review the records required by
this subpart to verify compliance with testing and minimum safety
requirements.
The Gulf of Mexico OCS Region (GOMR) has a policy regarding
approval of requests to use a chemical-only fire prevention and control
system in lieu of a water system. The BSEE may require additional
information be submitted to maintain approval. The information is used
to determine if the chemical-only system provides the equivalent
protection of a water system for the egress of personnel should a fire
occur.
We will protect personally identifiable information about
individuals according to the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and DOI's
implementing regulations (43 CFR 2). No questions of a sensitive nature
are asked. We protect proprietary information according to the Freedom
of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and DOI's 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. Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion, or as a result of situations encountered
depending upon the regulatory requirement.
Description of Respondents: Potential respondents comprise Federal
oil, gas, or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The currently
approved annual reporting burden for this collection is 62,963 hours
and $343,704 non-hour cost burdens. In this submission, we are
requesting a total of 92,341 burden hours and $323,481 non-hour cost
burdens. The following chart details the individual components and
respective 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.

this IC request are $323,481 and are as follows:
Submit application for a production safety system with >
125 components--$5,426 per submission; $14,280 per offshore visit; and
$7,426 per shipyard visit.
Submit application for a production safety system with 25-
125 components--$1,314 per submission; $8,967 per offshore visit; and
$5,141 per shipyard visit.
Submit application for a production safety system with <
25 components--$652 per submission.
Submit modification to application for production safety
system with > 125 components--$605 per submission.
Submit modification to application for production safety
system with 25-125 components--$217 per submission.
Submit modification to application for production safety
system with <25 components--$92 per submission.
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: 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.
