‘‘Submission of Competing Interest—
DIP Pipelines’’ at pipelines@bsee.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kevin Karl, Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement, Deputy
Regional Director, at (504) 736–2632, or
by email to: kevin.karl@bsee.gov.
Background: BSEE recently received
written requests to reuse five separate
pipeline segments in the GOM that were
previously decommissioned-in-place
(DIP) in accordance with regulatory
authority currently found at 30 CFR
250.1750 and 250.1751. The relevant
pipeline segments were DIP by prior
right-of-way (ROW) holders between
August 2003 and December 2010. None
of the parties requesting reuse were
prior ROW holders of these segments.
BSEE has determined that, pursuant
to regulation, Outer Continental Shelf
21885
(OCS) pipelines and related
infrastructure, which are DIP for more
than one year, become property of the
United States and may be transferred to
private parties. BSEE received requests
from private parties seeking to acquire
various pipeline segments from the
United States, as set forth in the table
below:

Conoco ...........................................................................................................................................
W&T ...............................................................................................................................................
Chevron PL ....................................................................................................................................
Energy XXI .....................................................................................................................................
Purpose: The Department of the
Interior has determined that the subject
pipeline segments are subject to
disposition pursuant to 40 U.S.C. 701
and General Services Administration
Federal Management Regulations at part
102–36. BSEE is providing notice that,
until May 20, 2020, we will accept
submissions of competing interest for
acquisition of the listed segments.
While a request for a ROW will
eventually be required pursuant to 30
CFR part 250 Subpart J to maintain and
re-use the pipeline segment(s), your
response to this Notice should focus on
proposed terms, conditions, and
appropriate instruments to be used to
transfer ownership of the pipeline from
the United States to you in a manner
that shifts responsibility for the pipeline
and any future operations and
maintenance, as well as all
decommissioning obligations.

Purpose of a Notice of Intent (NOI)
This NOI serves to inform interested
parties of BSEE’s intent to transfer
ownership and authorize re-use of select
pipelines that were previously
decommissioned in place on the OCS,
and to set forth BSEE’s process for
accepting submissions of competing
interest.
BSEE will evaluate and respond to all
submissions received pursuant to this
NOI. If BSEE receives future requests to
reuse other previously DIP pipelines, it
will issue similar NOIs to solicit
statements of competing interest.
Instructions for the NOI
Parties interested in acquiring the
aforementioned pipeline(s) should
submit the information outlined in the
Purpose section above to the GOM

Abstract: Throughout the regulations
in 30 CFR part 250, BSEE requires the
submissions of an Application for
Permit to Drill (APD), Revised APD,
Supplemental APD Information Sheet,
and all supporting documentation on
Forms BSEE–0123 and BSEE–0123S.
The BSEE uses the information 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:34 Apr 17, 2020
Jkt 250001
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. Furthermore, 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 blowout preventer (BOP)
systems to ascertain that the proposed
operations will be conducted in an
operationally safe manner that provides
adequate protection for the
environment. 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 Outer
Continental Shelf Lands Act to make
available to the public certain
information submitted on Forms BSEE–
0123 and –0123S.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 250,
Application for Permit to Drill (APD),
Revised APD, Supplemental APD
Information Sheet, and all supporting
documentation.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0025.
Form Number: BSEE–0123 and BSEE–
0123S.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Potential respondents are comprised of
Federal OCS oil, gas, and sulfur lessees/
operators and holders of pipeline rightsof-way.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: Not all the potential
respondents will submit information at
any given time, and some may submit
multiple times.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 11,327.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: .5 hour to 150 hours,
depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 77,937.
Respondent’s Obligation: Most
responses are mandatory; while others
are required to obtain or retain benefits.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
and varies by section.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $4,400,470.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
