Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 229 / Wednesday, November 27, 2019 / Notices
2019 (84 FR 35418). No comments were
received.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comments addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of
BSEE; (2) Will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) Is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) How might BSEE enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) How
might BSEE minimize the burden of this
collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. 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.
Abstract: The regulations at 30 CFR
part 250, subpart G, concern well
operations and equipment regulatory
requirements of oil, gas, and sulphur
operations in the Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) (including the associated
forms), and are the subject of this
collection. This request also covers any
related Notices to Lessees and Operators
(NTLs) that BSEE issues to clarify,
supplement, or provide additional
guidance on some aspects of our
regulations.
BSEE uses the information to ensure
safe drilling, workover, completion, and
decommissioning operations and to
protect the human, marine, and coastal
environment. BSEE analyzes and
evaluates these information/
requirements to reduce the likelihood of
an event similar to Deepwater Horizon
and to reduce the risk of fatalities,
injuries, and spills. BSEE also utilizes
these requirements in the approval,
disapproval, or modification process for
well operations.
Specifically, BSEE uses the
information in Subpart G to ensure:
• Certain well designs and operations
have been reviewed by appropriate third
parties/engineers/classification societies
and that, after one year, have been
approved by BSEE;
• rig tracking data is available to
locate rigs during major storms;
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:21 Nov 26, 2019
Jkt 250001
• casing or equipment repairs are
acceptable and tested;
• up-to-date engineering documents
are available;
• the BOP and associated components
are fit for service for its intended use;
• that the BOP will function as
intended;
• that BOP components are properly
maintained and inspected;
• the proper engineering reviews and
approvals for all BOP designs, repairs,
and modifications are met.
BSEE uses the information obtained
from Rig Movement Notification Report,
Form BSEE–0144, to schedule
inspections and verify that the
equipment being used complies with
approved permits. The information on
this form is used by all 3 regions, but
primarily in the GOM, to ascertain the
precise arrival and departure of all rigs
in OCS waters in the GOM. The accurate
location of these rigs is necessary to
facilitate the scheduling of inspections
by BSEE personnel.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 250,
subpart G, Well Operations and
Equipment.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0028.
Form Number: Form BSEE–0144.
