Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 70666 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 169 / Friday, August 30, 2024 / 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 part 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 Facilities Located Seaward of the Coastline. OMB Control Number: 1014–0007. Form Number: None. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Potential respondents include Federal OCS oil, gas, and sulfur lessees and/or operators and holders of pipeline rightsof-way. Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: Currently there are approximately 555 Oil and Gas Drilling and Production Operators 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: 1,675. VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:35 Aug 29, 2024 Jkt 262001 Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from .5 hour to 165 hours, depending on activity. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 60,989. Respondent’s Obligation: Most responses are mandatory; while some are required to obtain or retain a benefit. Frequency of Collection: Submissions are on occasion, monthly, annually, and biennially. Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None. An agency may not conduct, or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Kirk Malstrom, Chief, Regulations and Standards Branch.
