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
comments on this collection of
information was published on January
20, 2022 (87 FR 3122). No comments
were received.
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
that is described below. We are
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.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your

Abstract: The regulations at 30 CFR
part 250, subpart K, concern Oil and Gas
Production Requirements (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. The information
collected under subpart K is used in our
efforts to conserve natural resources,
prevent waste, and protect correlative
rights, including the Government’s
royalty interest. Specifically, BSEE uses
the information to:
• evaluate requests to burn liquid
hydrocarbons and vent and flare gas to
ensure that these requests are
appropriate;
• determine if a maximum
production or efficient rate is required;
and,
• review applications for downhole
commingling to ensure that action does
not result in harm to ultimate recovery.
The forms used in this ICR are:
Form BSEE–0126, Well Potential Test
Report
BSEE uses this information for
reservoir, reserves, and conservation
analyses, including the determination of
maximum production rates (MPRs)
when necessary for certain oil and gas
completions. This requirement
implements the conservation provisions
of the OCS Lands Act and 30 CFR 250.
The information obtained from the well
potential test is essential to determine if
E:\FR\FM\16SEN1.SGM
16SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 179 / Friday, September 16, 2022 / Notices
an MPR is necessary for a well and to
establish the appropriate rate. It is not
possible to specify an MPR in the
absence of information about the
production rate capability (potential) of
the well. The form asks for, in either fill
in the blanks or check marks:
• general information about the well
and the company;
• pertinent information relating to the
well test; and
• 24-hour rates pertaining to test
production.
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Form BSEE–0128, Semiannual Well
Test Report
BSEE uses this information to
evaluate the results of well tests to
determine if reservoirs are being
depleted in a manner that will lead to
the greatest ultimate recovery of
hydrocarbons. This information is
collected to determine the capability of
hydrocarbon wells and to evaluate and
verify an operator’s approved maximum
production rate if assigned. The form
was designed to present current well
data on a semiannual basis to permit the
updating of permissible producing rates,
and to provide the basis for estimates of
currently remaining recoverable gas
reserves. The form requires, in either fill
in the blanks or check marks:
• general information about the well;
• volumes;
• choke size;
• pressures;
• production method;
• API oil/condensate gravity; and
• date of test.
The ability to request a general
departure or alternative compliance are
throughout all of 30 CFR part 250 and
the hour burdens are approved under
1014–0022 (subpart A). The hours
associated with this request will be
removed from this information
collection.

Abstract: The regulations at 30 CFR part 250, subpart K, concern
Oil and Gas Production Requirements (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. The information collected under subpart K is used in
our efforts to conserve natural resources, prevent waste, and protect
correlative rights, including the Government's royalty interest.
Specifically, BSEE uses the information to:
evaluate requests to burn liquid hydrocarbons and vent and
flare gas to ensure that these requests are appropriate;
determine if a maximum production or efficient rate is
required; and,
review applications for downhole commingling to ensure
that action does not result in harm to ultimate recovery.
The forms used in this ICR are:
Form BSEE-0126, Well Potential Test Report
BSEE uses this information for reservoir, reserves, and
conservation analyses, including the determination of maximum
production rates (MPRs) when necessary for certain oil and gas
completions. This requirement implements the conservation provisions of
the OCS Lands Act and 30 CFR 250. The information obtained from the
well potential test is essential to determine if
[[Page 56981]]
an MPR is necessary for a well and to establish the appropriate rate.
It is not possible to specify an MPR in the absence of information
about the production rate capability (potential) of the well. The form
asks for, in either fill in the blanks or check marks:
general information about the well and the company;
pertinent information relating to the well test; and
24-hour rates pertaining to test production.
Form BSEE-0128, Semiannual Well Test Report
BSEE uses this information to evaluate the results of well tests to
determine if reservoirs are being depleted in a manner that will lead
to the greatest ultimate recovery of hydrocarbons. This information is
collected to determine the capability of hydrocarbon wells and to
evaluate and verify an operator's approved maximum production rate if
assigned. The form was designed to present current well data on a
semiannual basis to permit the updating of permissible producing rates,
and to provide the basis for estimates of currently remaining
recoverable gas reserves. The form requires, in either fill in the
blanks or check marks:
general information about the well;
volumes;
choke size;
pressures;
production method;
API oil/condensate gravity; and
date of test.
The ability to request a general departure or alternative
compliance are throughout all of 30 CFR part 250 and the hour burdens
are approved under 1014-0022 (subpart A). The hours associated with
this request will be removed from this information collection.

pipeline rights-of-way.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: Currently there are
approximately 550 Federal OCS oil, gas, and sulfur lessees and holders
of pipeline rights-of-way. Not all the potential respondents will
