In calculating the information
collection burdens, BOEM accounted for
decreases in the number of plans
submitted annually and for the changes
resulting from the GOM BiOp. BOEM
currently requires monthly marine
mammal observation and monitoring
reports and a final report within 90 days
of the completion of a lessee’s OCS
survey, consistent with GOM BiOp
Appendix A, ‘‘Seismic Survey
Mitigation and Protected Species
Observer Protocols.’’ The GOM BiOp
requirements supersede BOEM’s Notice
to Lessees and Operators 2016–G02,
which had required two reports each
month. Therefore, BOEM estimates an
overall decrease in the burden related to
these monitoring reports.
The GOM BiOp requires additional
reporting if one or more individuals
from a protected species are observed
within an enclosed moon pool, which is
an opening in the bottom of a marine
platform, drill ship, or vessel through
which drilling is done. The operator
must report the observation within 24
hours and daily thereafter as long as any
individual from a protected species
remains within the moon pool. With
this new requirement, BOEM estimates
a slight increase in annual reporting.
While the GOM BiOp increased
certain reporting burdens for lessees and
operators in the Gulf of Mexico, the
overall burdens are estimated to
decrease slightly due to the anticipated
reduction in the number of plans
submitted to BOEM.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period on this
proposed ICR was published on March
3, 2023 (88 FR 13459). BOEM received
one comment during the 60-day
comment period, which was supportive
of the Federal Government’s reporting
and burden updates. No burdens were
changed in connection with the public
comment.
BOEM is again soliciting comments
on the proposed ICR. BOEM is
especially interested in public
comments addressing the following
issues: (1) is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of BOEM; (2) what
can BOEM do to ensure that this
information is processed and used in a
timely manner; (3) is the burden
estimate accurate; (4) how might BOEM
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(5) how might BOEM minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including minimizing the
burden through the use of information
technology?
Comments submitted in response to
this notice are a matter of public record
and will be available for public review

on www.reginfo.gov. BOEM will include
or summarize each comment in its ICR
to OMB for approval of this information
collection. You should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personally identifiable
information included in your
comment—may be made publicly
available at any time. Even if BOEM
withholds your information in the
context of this ICR, your comment is
subject to the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA). If your submission is
requested under FOIA, your information
will only be withheld if a determination
is made that one of the FOIA
exemptions to disclosure applies. Such
a determination will be made in
accordance with the Department’s FOIA
regulations (43 CFR part 2) and
applicable law.
In order for BOEM to consider
withholding from disclosure your
personal identifying information, you
must identify, in a cover letter, any
information contained in your comment
that, if released, would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of your
personal privacy. You must also briefly
describe any possible harmful
consequences of the disclosure of
information, such as embarrassment,
injury, or other harm. Note that BOEM
will make available for public
inspection all comments in their
entirety (except for proprietary
information submitted by organizations
and businesses, or by individuals
identifying themselves as
representatives of organizations or
businesses).
BOEM protects proprietary
information in accordance with FOIA (5
U.S.C. 552), the DOI’s implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and 30 CFR
part 550.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number.

1320.8(d)(1), all information collections
require approval under the PRA. We
may not conduct, or sponsor and you
are not required to respond to a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies 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.
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. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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: BSEE will use the
information to oversee facility design,
fabrication, installation, and safety
management systems; ensure the safety
of operations, including inspection
programs and incident reporting and
investigations; enforce compliance with
all applicable safety, environmental,
and other laws and regulations through
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:24 Jul 12, 2023
Jkt 259001
enforcement actions (such as
noncompliance notices, cessation
orders, and certain lease suspensions);
and oversee decommissioning activities.
These responsibilities include
enforcement provisions under the
existing part 285, subpart D, various
information submittal requirements
under Subpart F, as well as provisions
governing activities conducted under an
approved plan, including the design,
construction, operation, and
decommissioning of facilities under
subparts G, H, and I. The requirements
for and standards of review regarding
the Facility Design Report (FDR) and
Facility Fabrication and Installation
Report (FIR) are unchanged: the FDR
and FIR will continue to be evaluated
for consistency with the Construction
and Operations Plan (COP) and
applicable engineering standards.
Decommissioning requirements related
to rights-of-use and easement for
alternate uses of existing OCS facilities
(Alternate Use RUE) have also been
transferred from the existing subpart J to
part 285.
BSEE assumes the responsibility for
ordering a lease or grant suspension
when continued activities pose an
imminent threat of serious or irreparable
harm or damage to natural resources,
life, property, the marine coastal, or
human environment, or sites, structures,
or objects of historical or archaeological
significance. BSEE may also order a
suspension when necessary to comply
with a judicial decree. Under the rule,
BSEE also assumes authority to issue
cessation orders to address
noncompliance on the part of the
grantee or lessee.
The Department does not issue
Suspensions for Alternate Use RUEs
upon the grantee’s request, but only by
order. BOEM will retain authority to
order suspensions required for National
security, and BSEE will assume
authority to order suspensions to
address a threat of harm from continued
operations. Either bureau may order a
suspension when necessary to comply
with a judicial decree. BSEE will order
suspensions when operations are halted
on the existing facility and BSEE
determines continuation of the alternate
use is unsafe or causes undue
interference with the facility.
Part 285, subpart D, Lease and Grant
Administration, includes the authority
to issue notices of noncompliance
(NONCs) and cessation orders, and to
pursue civil penalties and recommend
criminal penalties. BSEE assumes
authority for oversight and enforcement
of the design, construction, operation,
and decommissioning phases of offshore
wind development, as well as

enforcement of requirements related to
Alternate Use RUEs.
This ICR includes a new form:
Form BSEE–1835, Notification of
Noncompliance (NONC).
BSEE will use the information to
determine that respondents have
corrected all Notifications of
Noncompliance (NONCs) identified
during inspections. Everything on the
NONC form is filled out by a BSEE
inspector/representative. The only thing
industry does with this form is sign the
document upon receipt and respond to
BSEE when each NONC has been
corrected. Dependent on the severity of
the non-compliance identified by the
BSEE inspector, the responses are
assigned different intervals and are
described in the form table titled
Enforcement Timeline:
1—At Time of Inspection
14—Within 14 Days
30—Within 30 Days
50—Prior to Returning to Service/
Operation
60—Prior to Next Scheduled

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
[[Page 44835]]
1320.8(d)(1), all information collections require approval under the
PRA. We may not conduct, or sponsor and you are not required to respond
to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies 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.
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. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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: BSEE will use the information to oversee facility design,
fabrication, installation, and safety management systems; ensure the
safety of operations, including inspection programs and incident
reporting and investigations; enforce compliance with all applicable
safety, environmental, and other laws and regulations through
enforcement actions (such as noncompliance notices, cessation orders,
and certain lease suspensions); and oversee decommissioning activities.
These responsibilities include enforcement provisions under the
existing part 285, subpart D, various information submittal
requirements under Subpart F, as well as provisions governing
activities conducted under an approved plan, including the design,
construction, operation, and decommissioning of facilities under
subparts G, H, and I. The requirements for and standards of review
regarding the Facility Design Report (FDR) and Facility Fabrication and
Installation Report (FIR) are unchanged: the FDR and FIR will continue
to be evaluated for consistency with the Construction and Operations
Plan (COP) and applicable engineering standards. Decommissioning
requirements related to rights-of-use and easement for alternate uses
of existing OCS facilities (Alternate Use RUE) have also been
transferred from the existing subpart J to part 285.
BSEE assumes the responsibility for ordering a lease or grant
suspension when continued activities pose an imminent threat of serious
or irreparable harm or damage to natural resources, life, property, the
marine coastal, or human environment, or sites, structures, or objects
of historical or archaeological significance. BSEE may also order a
suspension when necessary to comply with a judicial decree. Under the
rule, BSEE also assumes authority to issue cessation orders to address
noncompliance on the part of the grantee or lessee.
The Department does not issue Suspensions for Alternate Use RUEs
upon the grantee's request, but only by order. BOEM will retain
authority to order suspensions required for National security, and BSEE
will assume authority to order suspensions to address a threat of harm
from continued operations. Either bureau may order a suspension when
necessary to comply with a judicial decree. BSEE will order suspensions
when operations are halted on the existing facility and BSEE determines
continuation of the alternate use is unsafe or causes undue
interference with the facility.
Part 285, subpart D, Lease and Grant Administration, includes the
authority to issue notices of noncompliance (NONCs) and cessation
orders, and to pursue civil penalties and recommend criminal penalties.
BSEE assumes authority for oversight and enforcement of the design,
construction, operation, and decommissioning phases of offshore wind
development, as well as enforcement of requirements related to
Alternate Use RUEs.
This ICR includes a new form:
Form BSEE-1835, Notification of Noncompliance (NONC).
BSEE will use the information to determine that respondents have
corrected all Notifications of Noncompliance (NONCs) identified during
inspections. Everything on the NONC form is filled out by a BSEE
inspector/representative. The only thing industry does with this form
is sign the document upon receipt and respond to BSEE when each NONC
has been corrected. Dependent on the severity of the non-compliance
identified by the BSEE inspector, the responses are assigned different
intervals and are described in the form table titled Enforcement
Timeline:
1--At Time of Inspection
14--Within 14 Days
30--Within 30 Days
50--Prior to Returning to Service/Operation
60--Prior to Next Scheduled Maintenance
70--During Next Scheduled Maintenance
80--Prior to Next scheduled Audit
90--During Next Scheduled Audit
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 285, Renewable Energy and
Alternate Uses of Existing Facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf.
OMB Control Number: 1014-0034.
Form Number: Form BSEE-1835, Notice(s) of Noncompliance.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Primary respondents comprise Federal
OCS companies that submit unsolicited proposals or responses to Federal
Register notices; or are lessees, designated operators, and ROW or RUE
grant holders. Other potential respondents are companies or state and
local governments that submit information or comments relative to
alternative energy-related uses of the OCS; certified verification
agents (CVAs); and surety or third-party guarantors.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: Currently there are
approximately 47 Lessees in the OCS. Not all the potential respondents
will submit information in any given year, and some may submit multiple
times.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 103.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 30 minutes to
6,000 hours, depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 8,908.
[[Page 44836]]
Respondent's Obligation: Responses are mandatory and are required
to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: generally occasional or annual.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $1,908,000.
