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: Regulations governing
Safety and Environmental Management
Systems (SEMS) are covered in 30 CFR
250, Subpart S 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.
We consider the information to be
critical for us to monitor industry’s
operations record of safety and
environmental management on the OCS.
The Subpart S regulations hold the
operator accountable for the overall
safety of the offshore facility, including
ensuring that all employees, contractors,
and subcontractors have safety policies
and procedures in place that support the
implementation of the operator’s SEMS
program and align with the principles of
managing safety. An operator’s SEMS
program must describe management’s
commitment to safety and the
environment, as well as policies and
procedures to assure safety and
environmental protection while
conducting OCS operations (including
those operations conducted by all
personnel on the facility). BSEE will use
the information obtained by submittals
and observed via SEMS audits to ensure
that operations on the OCS are
conducted safely, as they pertain to both
human and environmental factors, and
in accordance with BSEE regulations,
including industry practices
incorporated by reference within the
regulations. Job Safety Analyses (JSA’s)
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.

Abstract: BSEE will use the
information required by 30 CFR 282 to
determine if lessees are complying with
the regulations that implement the
mining operations program for minerals
other than oil, gas, and sulphur.
Specifically, BSEE will use the
information:
• To ensure that operations for the
production of minerals other than oil,
gas, and sulphur in the OCS are
conducted in a manner that will result
in orderly resource recovery,
development, and the protection of the
human, marine, and coastal
environments.
• To ensure that adequate measures
will be taken during operations to
prevent waste, conserve the natural
resources of the OCS, and to protect the
environment, human life, and
correlative rights.
• To determine if suspensions of
activities are in the national interest, to
facilitate proper development of a lease
including reasonable time to develop a
mine and construct its supporting
facilities, and to allow for the
construction or negotiation for use of
transportation facilities.
• To identify and evaluate the
cause(s) of a hazard(s) generating a
suspension, the potential damage from a
hazard(s) and the measures available to
mitigate the potential for damage.
• For technical evaluations that
provide a basis for BSEE to make
informed decisions to approve,
disapprove, or require modification of
the proposed activities.
