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 July 13,
2023 (88 FR 44834). 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
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,
PO 00000
Frm 00141
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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
E:\FR\FM\27SEN1.SGM
27SEN1
66502
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 27, 2023 / Notices
(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
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.

https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
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 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
July 13, 2023 (88 FR 44834). 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 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
[[Page 66502]]
(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
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.
