Title: 30 CFR part 250, Application for Permit to Drill (APD, Revised APD), Supplemental APD Information Sheet, and all supporting documentation. Form(s): BSEE–0123 and –0123S. OMB Control Number: 1014–0025. Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act at 43 U.S.C. 1334 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 PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. 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, 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. Applications for permits to drill are subject to cost recovery, and BSEE regulations specify a service fee for this request. This authority and responsibility are among those delegated to BSEE. The regulations at 30 CFR part 250 stipulates the various requirements that must be submitted with forms BSEE–0123, Application for Permit to Drill (APD), Revised APD, and BSEE–0123S, Supplemental APD Information Sheet. The forms and the numerous submittals included with them are the subject of this collection. There are no changes being made to the forms with this ICR submission. This request also covers any related Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that BSEE issues to clarify, supplement, or provide E:\FR\FM\28FEN1.SGM 28FEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 38 / Tuesday, February 28, 2017 / Notices additional guidance on some aspects of our regulations. Most responses are mandatory, while some are required to obtain or retain a benefit. No questions of a sensitive nature are asked. BSEE will protect any confidential commercial or proprietary information according to section 26 of OCSLA (43 U.S.C. 1352); the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552); and DOI’s implementing regulations (43 CFR 2), and according to 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. BSEE uses the information from forms BSEE–0123 and BSEE–0123s to ensure safe drilling operations and to protect the human, marine, and coastal environment. Among other things, BSEE specifically uses the information to ensure: The drilling unit is fit for the intended purpose; the lessee or operator will not encounter geologic conditions that present a hazard to operations; equipment is maintained in a state of readiness and meets safety standards; each drilling crew is properly trained and able to promptly perform wellcontrol activities at any time during well operations; compliance with safety standards; and the current regulations will provide for safe and proper field or reservoir development, resource evaluation, conservation, protection of correlative rights, safety, and environmental protection. We also review well records to ascertain whether drilling operations have encountered hydrocarbons or H2S and to ensure that H2S detection equipment, personnel protective equipment, and training of the crew are adequate for safe operations in zones known to contain H2S and zones where the presence of H2S is unknown. Also, we use the information to determine the conditions of a drilling site to avoid hazards inherent in drilling operations. Specifically, we use the information to evaluate the adequacy of a lessee’s or operator’s plan and equipment for drilling, sidetracking, or deepening operations. This includes the adequacy of the proposed casing design, casing setting depths, drilling fluid (mud) programs, cementing programs, and BOP systems to ascertain that the proposed operations will be conducted in an operationally safe manner that provides adequate protection for the environment. The BSEE also reviews the information to ensure conformance with specific provisions of the lease. In addition, except for proprietary data, BSEE is required by the OCS Lands Act to make available to the public certain information submitted on Forms BSEE– 0123 and -0123S. The information on the forms is as follows: BSEE–0123 Heading: BSEE uses the information to identify the type of proposed drilling activity for which approval is requested. Well at Total Depth/Surface: Information utilized to identify the location (area, block, lease, latitude and longitude) of the proposed drilling activity. Significant Markers Anticipated: Identification of significant geologic formations, structures and/or horizons that the lessee or operator expects to encounter. This information, in conjunction with seismic data, is needed to correlate with other wells drilled in the area to assess the risks and hazards inherent in drilling operations. Question/Information: The information is used to ascertain the adequacy of the drilling fluids (mud) program to ensure control of the well, the adequacy of the surface casing compliance with EPA offshore pollutant discharge requirements and the shut in of adjacent wells to ensure safety while moving a rig on and off a drilling location, as well that the worst case discharge scenario information reflects the well and is updated if applicable. 12123 This information is also provided in the course of electronically requesting approval of drilling operations via eWell. BSEE–0123S Heading: BSEE uses this information to identify the lease operator, rig name, rig elevation, water depth, type well (exploratory, development), and the presence of H2S and other data which is needed to assess operational risks and safety. Well Design Information: This engineering data identifies casing size, pressure rating, setting depth and current volume, hole size, mud weight, blowout preventer (BOP) and well bore designs, formation and BOP test data and other criteria. The information is utilized by BSEE engineers to verify operational safety and ensure well control to prevent blowouts and other hazards to personnel and the environment. This form accommodates requested data collection for successive sections of the borehole as drilling proceeds toward total depth below each intermediate casing point. Frequency: On occasion and as required by regulations. Description of Respondents: Potential respondents comprise Federal OCS oil, gas, or sulfur lessees and/or operators. Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The estimated annual hour burden for this information collection is a total of 63,561 hours and $862,104 non-hour costs. 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.

The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of certain new pneumatic offthe-road tires from India and Sri Lanka 1 The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)). 2 The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce’s affirmative critical circumstances determination are not likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the countervailing duty orders on certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires from India and Sri Lanka. 3 Commissioner Dean A. Pinkert did not participate in these investigations. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:46 Feb 27, 2017 Jkt 241001 were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that imports of certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires from India were not dumped within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission’s investigations and of a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on September 12, 2016 (81 FR 62760). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on January 4, 2017, and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel. The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on February 23, 2017. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4669 (February 2017), entitled Certain New Pneumatic Off-the-Road Tires from India and Sri Lanka: Investigation Nos. 701–TA–552–553 and 731–TA–1308 (Final).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR part 250, Application for Permit to Drill (APD,
Revised APD), Supplemental APD Information Sheet, and all supporting
documentation.
Form(s): BSEE-0123 and -0123S.
OMB Control Number: 1014-0025.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act at 43 U.S.C.
1334 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; 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.
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, 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. Applications for permits to drill are
subject to cost recovery, and BSEE regulations specify a service fee
for this request.
This authority and responsibility are among those delegated to
BSEE. The regulations at 30 CFR part 250 stipulates the various
requirements that must be submitted with forms BSEE-0123, Application
for Permit to Drill (APD), Revised APD, and BSEE-0123S, Supplemental
APD Information Sheet. The forms and the numerous submittals included
with them are the subject of this collection. There are no changes
being made to the forms with this ICR submission. This request also
covers any related Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that BSEE
issues to clarify, supplement, or provide

[[Page 12123]]

additional guidance on some aspects of our regulations.
Most responses are mandatory, while some are required to obtain or
retain a benefit. No questions of a sensitive nature are asked. BSEE
will protect any confidential commercial or proprietary information
according to section 26 of OCSLA (43 U.S.C. 1352); the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552); and DOI's implementing regulations (43
CFR 2), and according to 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.
BSEE uses the information from forms BSEE-0123 and BSEE-0123s to
ensure safe drilling operations and to protect the human, marine, and
coastal environment. Among other things, BSEE specifically uses the
information to ensure: The drilling unit is fit for the intended
purpose; the lessee or operator will not encounter geologic conditions
that present a hazard to operations; equipment is maintained in a state
of readiness and meets safety standards; each drilling crew is properly
trained and able to promptly perform well-control activities at any
time during well operations; compliance with safety standards; and the
current regulations will provide for safe and proper field or reservoir
development, resource evaluation, conservation, protection of
correlative rights, safety, and environmental protection. We also
review well records to ascertain whether drilling operations have
encountered hydrocarbons or H2S and to ensure that H2S detection
equipment, personnel protective equipment, and training of the crew are
adequate for safe operations in zones known to contain H2S and zones
where the presence of H2S is unknown.
Also, we use the information to determine the conditions of a
drilling site to avoid hazards inherent in drilling operations.
Specifically, we use the information to evaluate the adequacy of a
lessee's or operator's plan and equipment for drilling, sidetracking,
or deepening operations. This includes the adequacy of the proposed
casing design, casing setting depths, drilling fluid (mud) programs,
cementing programs, and BOP systems to ascertain that the proposed
operations will be conducted in an operationally safe manner that
provides adequate protection for the environment. The BSEE also reviews
the information to ensure conformance with specific provisions of the
lease. In addition, except for proprietary data, BSEE is required by
the OCS Lands Act to make available to the public certain information
submitted on Forms BSEE-0123 and -0123S. The information on the forms
is as follows:

BSEE-0123

Heading: BSEE uses the information to identify the type of proposed
drilling activity for which approval is requested.
Well at Total Depth/Surface: Information utilized to identify the
location (area, block, lease, latitude and longitude) of the proposed
drilling activity.
Significant Markers Anticipated: Identification of significant
geologic formations, structures and/or horizons that the lessee or
operator expects to encounter. This information, in conjunction with
seismic data, is needed to correlate with other wells drilled in the
area to assess the risks and hazards inherent in drilling operations.
Question/Information: The information is used to ascertain the
adequacy of the drilling fluids (mud) program to ensure control of the
well, the adequacy of the surface casing compliance with EPA offshore
pollutant discharge requirements and the shut in of adjacent wells to
ensure safety while moving a rig on and off a drilling location, as
well that the worst case discharge scenario information reflects the
well and is updated if applicable. This information is also provided in
the course of electronically requesting approval of drilling operations
via eWell.

BSEE-0123S

Heading: BSEE uses this information to identify the lease operator,
rig name, rig elevation, water depth, type well (exploratory,
development), and the presence of H2S and other data which is needed to
assess operational risks and safety.
Well Design Information: This engineering data identifies casing
size, pressure rating, setting depth and current volume, hole size, mud
weight, blowout preventer (BOP) and well bore designs, formation and
BOP test data and other criteria. The information is utilized by BSEE
engineers to verify operational safety and ensure well control to
prevent blowouts and other hazards to personnel and the environment.
This form accommodates requested data collection for successive
sections of the borehole as drilling proceeds toward total depth below
each intermediate casing point.
Frequency: On occasion and as required by regulations.
Description of Respondents: Potential respondents comprise Federal
OCS oil, gas, or sulfur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The estimated
annual hour burden for this information collection is a total of 63,561
hours and $862,104 non-hour costs. 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.
[Note: In the Burden Table, a Revised APD hour burden is preceded
by the letter R]

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have
identified one non-hour cost burden associated with the collection of
information for a total of $862,104. It is the $2,113 service fee
required to recover the Federal Government's processing costs of the
APD. 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 September 22,
2016, we published a Federal Register notice (81 FR 65399) 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 regulations and forms. The regulations also inform 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 the Federal Register
notice, nor did we receive any unsolicited comments.
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.
