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.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 250,
subpart S, Safety and Environmental
Management Systems (SEMS).
OMB Control Number: 1014–0017.
Form Number: BSEE–0131,
Performance Measures Data.
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 and/or third-party personnel or
organization.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: Currently there are
approximately 555 Federal OCS oil, gas,
and sulfur lessees and holders of
pipeline rights-of-way. Not all the
potential respondents will submit
information in any given year, and some
may submit multiple times.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 686.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Varies from 39 hours to
11,926 hours, depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,487,634.
Respondent’s Obligation: Responses
are mandatory.
Frequency of Collection: Submissions
are on occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $3,259,727.
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.).
