and other recordkeeping required by the
SEMS regulation will be reviewed
diligently by BSEE during inspections
and other oversight activities and by
SEMS auditors during regulatory
required audits, to ensure that industry
is using the documentation required by
the SEMS regulation to manage their
safety and environmental risks.
Information on Form BSEE–0131,
which the SEMS regulation requires to
be submitted to BSEE annually,
includes company identification,
number of company/contractor injuries
and/or illnesses suffered, company/
contractor hours worked, EPA National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit non-compliances, and
oil spill volumes for spills less than 1
barrel. Such information is reported on
a calendar year basis, with data broken
out by calendar quarter. The
information is used to develop industry
average incident rates that help to
describe how well the offshore oil and
gas industry is performing. Operators
use these incident rates to benchmark
against their own performance, and to
focus on areas that need improvement.
Using the produced data allows BSEE to
better focus our regulatory and research
programs on areas where the
performance measures indicate that
operators are having difficulty meeting
our expectations. BSEE will be more
effective in leveraging resources by
redirecting research efforts, promoting
appropriate regulatory initiatives, and
shifting inspection and Directed Audit
program emphasis based on
performance results.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 250,
subpart S, Safety and Environmental
Management Systems (SEMS).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general
public and other Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting

As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR

especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 7, 2021 / Notices
Abstract: The Federal Water Pollution
Control Act (FWPCA), as amended by
the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA),
requires that a spill-response plan be
submitted for offshore facilities prior to
February 18, 1993. The OPA specifies
that after that date, an offshore facility
may not handle, store, or transport oil
unless a plan has been submitted.
Regulations at 30 CFR 254 establish
requirements for spill-response plans for
oil-handling facilities seaward of the
coastline, including associated
pipelines. BSEE uses the information
collected under 30 CFR 254 to
determine compliance with OPA by
lessees/operators. Specifically, BSEE
needs the information to:
• Determine that lessees/operators
have an adequate plan and are
sufficiently prepared to implement a
quick and effective response to a
discharge of oil from their facilities or
operations.
• Review plans prepared under the
regulations of a State and submitted to
BSEE to satisfy the requirements in 30
CFR 254 to ensure that they meet
minimum requirements of OPA.
• Verify that personnel involved in
oil-spill response are properly trained
and familiar with the requirements of
the spill-response plans and to lead and
witness spill-response exercises.
• Assess the sufficiency and
availability of contractor equipment and
materials.
• Verify that enough quantities of
equipment are available and in working
order.
• Oversee spill-response efforts and
maintain official records of pollution
events.
• Assess the efforts of lessees/
operators to prevent oil spills or prevent
substantial threats of such discharges.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR 254, OilSpill Response Requirements for
