Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified seven non-hour cost
burdens, all of which are the cost
recovery fees required under 30 CFR
250, Subpart J. However, the actual fee
amounts are specified in 30 CFR
250.125, which provides a consolidated
table of all of the fees required under the
30 CFR 250 regulations. The total of the
non-hour cost burden (cost recovery
fees) in this IC request is an estimated
$1,508,968.
The non-hour cost burdens required
in 30 CFR 250, Subpart J (and respective
cost-recovery fee amount per
transaction) are required under:
§ 250.1000(b)—New Pipeline
Application (lease term)—$3,541,
§ 250.1000(b)—Pipeline Application
Modification (lease term)—$2,056,
§ 250.1000(b)—Pipeline Application
Modification (ROW)—$4,169,
§ 250.1008(e)—Pipeline Repair
Notification—$388, § 250.1015(a)—
Pipeline ROW Grant Application—
$2,771, § 250.1015(a)—Pipeline
Conversion from Lease Term to ROW—
$236, § 250.1018(b)—Pipeline ROW
Assignment—$201.
We have not identified any other nonhour 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 nonhour 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR part 250, subpart O,
Well Control and Production Safety
Training.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0008.
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
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. 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; and to preserve and maintain
free enterprise competition.
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
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
E:\FR\FM\10APN1.SGM
10APN1
19353
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 69 / Friday, April 10, 2015 / Notices
delegated some of the authority under
FOGRMA to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is
included as additional authority for
these requirements.
Section 1332(6) of the OCS Lands Act
requires 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.’’
For your information, because of the
regulatory requirements in 30 CFR 250,
Subpart S (SEMS), 30 CFR 250, Subpart
O, audits ceased. The training audits fall
under the requirements defined in
§ 250.1915. However, BSEE keeps
Subpart O documents and regulations
active because the Subpart O regulatory
requirements give BSEE the authority
and ability to test employees on the
effectiveness of their own training
program.
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are among those
delegated to BSEE. The regulations
under 30 CFR 250, Subpart O, pertain to
well control and production safety
training and pertain to training
requirements for certain personnel
working on the OCS and is the subject
of this collection. 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.
We will use the information collected
under Subpart O regulations to ensure
that workers in the OCS are properly
trained with the necessary skills to
perform their jobs in a safe and
pollution-free manner.
In some instances, we may conduct
oral interviews of offshore employees to
evaluate the effectiveness of a
company’s training program. The oral
interviews are used to gauge how
effectively the companies are
implementing their own training
program.
No questions of a sensitive nature are
asked. We protect proprietary

currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 2,919 hours.
In this submission, we are requesting a
total of 202 burden 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.
Develop training plans. Note: Existing lessees/respondents already
have training plans developed. This number reflects development
of plans for any new lessees.
Upon request, provide BSEE with copies of training documentation
for personnel involved in well control, deepwater well control, or
production safety operations within the past 5 years.

Jkt 235001
The
Commission instituted this investigation
on January 30, 2014, based on a
complaint filed by Springfree
Trampoline, Inc. of Markham, Canada,
Springfree Trampoline USA Inc. of
Markham, Canada, and Spring Free
Limited Partnership of Markham,
Canada (collectively, ‘‘Springfree’’). 79
FR 4956 (Jan. 30, 2014). The complaint
alleges violations of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19
U.S.C. 1337, in the importation, sale for
importation, or sale within the United
States after importation of certain softedged trampolines and components
thereof by reason of infringement of
claims 1 and 13 of U.S. Patent No.
6,319,174 (‘‘the ’174 patent’’). Id. The
notice of investigation names Vuly
Trampolines Pty. Ltd. of Brisbane,
Australia (‘‘Vuly’’) as the sole
respondent. Id. at 4957. The Office of
Unfair Import Investigations did not
participate in the investigation. Id.
On December 5, 2014, the
administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued
a final ID finding no violation of section
337. On December 18, 2014, the ALJ
issued a recommended determination
(‘‘RD’’) on remedy and bonding. On
December 22, 2014, Springfree and Vuly
filed petitions for review challenging
various findings in the final ID. On
January 2, 2015, the parties filed
responses. The Commission did not
receive any post-RD public interest
comments from the public or the
parties.
On February 5, 2015, the Commission
determined to review the final ID in part
and requested additional briefing from
the parties on certain issues. The
Commission also solicited briefing from
the parties and the public on the issues
of remedy, bonding, and the public
interest. On February 19, 2015, the
parties filed briefs addressing the
Commission’s questions and the issues
of remedy, bonding, and the public
interest. On March 2, 2015, the parties
filed reply briefs.
Having examined the record of this
investigation, including the ALJ’s final
ID and submissions from the parties, the
Commission has determined to affirm
the ALJ’s determination of no violation.
As explained more fully in the
forthcoming Commission opinion, the
Commission has determined to construe
‘‘flexible mat’’ in the first instance,
modify the ALJ’s construction of ‘‘first
retaining means,’’ and affirm, but on
modified grounds, the ALJ’s
construction of ‘‘flexible elongated rod.’’
The Commission has determined to
affirm, but on modified grounds, the
ALJ’s findings that Vuly’s products
infringe claim 13, that Springfree’s
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00079

Sfmt 4703
products practice claim 13, that claim 1
is not invalid as anticipated by the prior
art, that claim 13 is invalid as
anticipated by the prior art, and that
claims 1 and 13 are not invalid due to
lack of enablement. The Commission
has determined to reverse the ALJ’s
findings that Vuly’s products infringe
claim 1, that Springfree’s products do
not practice claim 1, and that Springfree
did not satisfy the technical prong of the
domestic industry requirement as to
claims 1 and 13. The Commission has
determined to affirm the ALJ’s finding
that Springfree did not satisfy the
economic prong of the domestic
industry requirement. The Commission
has determined not to reach the issue of
whether claim 13 is obvious.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in Part
210 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part
210).

about this ICR.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR part 250, subpart O, Well Control and Production
Safety Training.
OMB Control Number: 1014-0008.
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
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. 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; and to preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition.
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 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
[[Page 19353]]
delegated some of the authority under FOGRMA to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is
included as additional authority for these requirements.
Section 1332(6) of the OCS Lands Act requires 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.''
For your information, because of the regulatory requirements in 30
CFR 250, Subpart S (SEMS), 30 CFR 250, Subpart O, audits ceased. The
training audits fall under the requirements defined in Sec. 250.1915.
However, BSEE keeps Subpart O documents and regulations active because
the Subpart O regulatory requirements give BSEE the authority and
ability to test employees on the effectiveness of their own training
program.
Regulations implementing these responsibilities are among those
delegated to BSEE. The regulations under 30 CFR 250, Subpart O, pertain
to well control and production safety training and pertain to training
requirements for certain personnel working on the OCS and is the
subject of this collection. 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.
We will use the information collected under Subpart O regulations
to ensure that workers in the OCS are properly trained with the
necessary skills to perform their jobs in a safe and pollution-free
manner.
In some instances, we may conduct oral interviews of offshore
employees to evaluate the effectiveness of a company's training
program. The oral interviews are used to gauge how effectively the
companies are implementing their own training program.
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); and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, Data and information to be made
available to the public or for limited inspection, and 30 CFR part 252,
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Gas Information Program.
Responses are mandatory or are required to obtain or retain benefits.
Frequency: On occasion.
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 2,919 hours. In
this submission, we are requesting a total of 202 burden 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 for this collection.
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
[[Page 19354]]
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.
