SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 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
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.’’
It should be noted, that due to the
regulatory requirements in 30 CFR 250,
subpart S (SEMS), the 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 with respect to
well control and production safety.
This authority and responsibility are
among those delegated to the Bureau of
Safety and Environmental Enforcement
(BSEE). The regulations at 30 CFR 250,
subpart O, Well Control and Production
Safety Training, concern 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.
BSEE will use the information
collected under subpart O regulations to
ensure that workers in the OCS are
properly trained with the necessary
38735
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.
Responses are mandatory or are
required to obtain or retain a benefit. No
questions of a sensitive or private nature
are asked. If however, we did collect
any such information, BSEE protects
information considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) and DOIs implementing
regulations (43 CFR 2), and under
regulations at 30 CFR part 250.197, Data
and information to be made available to
the public or for limited inspection, 30
CFR part 252, OCS Oil and Gas
Information Program.
The information collected under
subpart O is used 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.
Frequency: On occasion and as
required by regulations.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise OCS Federal oil,
gas, or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
information collection is a total of 202
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.

We have not identified any 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 April 10, 2015,
we published a Federal Register notice
(80 FR 19352) 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 250, subpart O regulations and
forms. 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
one comment in response to the Federal
Register notice or unsolicited comments
from respondents covered under these
regulations. The comment was from a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 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 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.''
It should be noted, that due to the regulatory requirements in 30
CFR 250, subpart S (SEMS), the 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 with respect to well control and production
safety.
This authority and responsibility are among those delegated to the
Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). The regulations
at 30 CFR 250, subpart O, Well Control and Production Safety Training,
concern 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.
BSEE 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.
Responses are mandatory or are required to obtain or retain a
benefit. No questions of a sensitive or private nature are asked. If
however, we did collect any such information, BSEE protects information
considered proprietary under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and DOIs implementing regulations (43 CFR 2), and under

annual hour burden for this information collection is a total of 202
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
not identified any 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 April 10, 2015,
we published a Federal Register notice (80 FR 19352) 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 250, subpart O regulations and forms. 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 one comment in response to the Federal Register
notice or unsolicited comments from respondents covered under these
regulations. The comment was from a private citizen and it was not
germane to the paperwork burden of this ICR.
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.
