SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 30
CFR Part 253, Oil Spill Financial
Responsibility for Offshore Facilities.
Forms: MMS–1016, 1017, 1018, 1019,
1020, 1021, and 1022.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0106.
Abstract: Title I of the Oil Pollution
Act of 1990 (OPA) (33 U.S.C. 2701 et
seq.), as amended by the Coast Guard
Authorization Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–

VerDate Aug<31>2005

19:33 Jan 22, 2007

Jkt 211001

324), provides at section 1016 that oil
spill financial responsibility (OSFR) for
offshore facilities be established and
maintained according to methods
determined acceptable to the President.
Section 1016 of OPA supersedes the
offshore facility oil spill financial
responsibility provisions of the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act
Amendments of 1978. These authorities
and responsibilities are among those
delegated to the Minerals Management
Service (MMS) under which MMS
issues regulations governing oil and gas
and sulphur operations in the OCS.
This information collection request
addresses the regulations at 30 CFR Part
253, Oil Spill Financial Responsibility
for Offshore Facilities, including any
supplementary Notices to Lessees and
Operators (NTLs) that provide
clarification, description, or explanation
of these regulations, and forms MMS–
1016 through MMS–1022. We have
made a few minor changes to headings
on the forms. There are no data element
changes.
The MMS will use the information
collected under 30 CFR Part 253 to
verify compliance with section 1016 of
OPA. The information is necessary to
confirm that applicants can pay for
clean-up and damages from oil-spill
discharges from Covered Offshore
Facilities (COFs). The information will
be used routinely: (a) To establish
approval and eligibility of applicants for
an Oil Spill Financial Responsibility
(OSFR) certification; and (b) as a
reference source for clean-up and
damage claims associated with oil-spill
discharges from COFs; the names,
addresses, and telephone numbers of
owners, operators, and guarantors;
designated U.S. agents for service of
process; and persons to contact. To
collect most of the information, MMS
developed standard forms. The forms
and their purposes are:
Cover Sheet: The forms will be
distributed in a package that includes a
cover sheet that displays the required
OMB Control Number, Expiration Date,
and Paperwork Reduction Act
statement. This cover sheet will
accompany the forms as part of a
package or will be included with any
copies of a particular form that
respondents may request.
Form MMS–1016, Designated
Applicant Information Certification:
The designated applicant uses this form
to provide identifying information
(company legal name, MMS
qualification number and region,
address, contact name and title,
telephone and fax numbers) and to
summarize the OSFR evidence. This

PO 00000

Frm 00052

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

2903

form is required for each new or
renewed OSFR certification application.
Form MMS–1017, Designation of
Applicant: When there is more than one
responsible party for a COF, they must
select a designated applicant. Each
responsible party, as defined in the
regulations, must use this form to notify
MMS of the designated applicant. This
form is also used to designate the U.S.
agent for service of process for the
responsible party(ies) if claims from an
oil-spill discharge exceed the amount
evidenced by the designated applicant;
identifies and provides pertinent
information about the responsible
party(ies); and lists the COFs for which
the responsible party is liable for OSFR
certification. The form identifies each
COF by State or OCS region; lease,
permit, right of use and easement or
pipeline number; aliquot section; area
name; and block number. This form
must be submitted with each new OSFR
application or with an assignment
involving a COF in which there is at
least one responsible party who is not
the designated applicant for a COF.
Form MMS–1018, Self-Insurance or
Indemnity Information: This form is
used if the designated applicant is selfinsuring or using an indemnity for
OSFR evidence. As appropriate, either
the designated applicant or the
designated applicant’s indemnitor
completes the form to indicate the
amount of OSFR coverage and effective
and expiration dates. The form also
provides pertinent information about
the self-insurer or indemnitor and is
used to designate a U.S. agent for
service of process for claims up to the
evidenced amount. This form must be
submitted each time new evidence of
OSFR is submitted using either selfinsurance or an indemnification.
Form MMS–1019, Insurance
Certificate: The designated applicant
(representing himself as a direct
purchaser of insurance) or his insurance
agent or broker and the named insurers
complete this form to provide OSFR
evidence using insurance. The number
of forms to be submitted will depend
upon the number of layers of insurance
to evidence the total amount of OSFR
required. One form is required for each
layer of insurance. The form provides
pertinent information about the
insurer(s) and designates a U.S. agent
for service of process. This form must be
submitted at the beginning of the term
of the insurance coverage for the
designated applicant’s COFs or at the
time COFs are added, with the
scheduled option selected, to OSFR
coverage.
Form MMS–1020, Surety Bond: Each
bonding company that issues a surety

E:\FR\FM\23JAN1.SGM

23JAN1

2904

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 14 / Tuesday, January 23, 2007 / Notices

bond for the designated applicant must
complete this form indicating the
amount of surety and effective dates.
The form provides pertinent
information about the bonding company
and designates a U.S. agent for service
of process for the amount evidenced by
the surety bond. This form must be
submitted at the beginning of the term
of the surety bond for the named
designated applicant.
Form MMS–1021, Covered Offshore
Facilities: The designated applicant
submits this form to identify the COFs
for which the OSFR evidence applies.
The form identifies each COF by State
or OCS region; lease, permit, right of use
and easement or pipeline number;
aliquot section; area name; block
number; and potential worst case oilspill discharge. This form is required to
be submitted with each new or renewed
OSFR certification application that
includes COFs.

Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 600
holders of leases, permits, and rights of
use and easement in the OCS and in
State coastal waters who will appoint
approximately 200 designated
applicants. Other respondents will be
the designated applicants’ insurance
agents and brokers, bonding companies,
and indemnitors. Some respondents
may also be claimants.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 19,299
hours. The following chart details the
individual components and respective
hour burden estimates of this ICR. In
calculating the burdens, we assumed
that respondents perform certain
requirements in the normal course of
their activities. We consider these to be
usual and customary and took that into
account in estimating the burden.

Form MMS–1022, Covered Offshore
Facility Changes: During the term of the
issued OSFR certification, the
designated applicant may submit
changes to the current COF listings,
including additions, deletions, or
changes to the worst case oil-spill
discharge for a COF. This form must be
submitted when identified changes
occur during the term of an OSFR
Certification.
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2) and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data
and information to be made available to
the public.’’ No items of a sensitive
nature are collected. Responses are
mandatory.
Frequency: On an annual basis, except
for changes to existing COF listings that
could occur throughout the term of the
OSFR Certification.

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have identified no ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burdens for this collection.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: Before submitting an ICR
to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
requires each agency ‘‘* * * to provide
notice * * * and otherwise consult
with members of the public and affected
agencies concerning each proposed
collection of information * * *’’.
Agencies must specifically solicit
comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the

VerDate Aug<31>2005

19:33 Jan 22, 2007

Jkt 211001

proposed collection of information is
necessary for the agency to perform its
duties, including whether the
information is useful; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Agencies must also estimate the ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burdens to respondents or
recordkeepers resulting from the
collection of information. Therefore, if
you have costs to generate, maintain,
and disclose this information, you
should comment and provide your total
capital and startup cost components or

annual operation, maintenance, and
purchase of service components. You
should describe the methods you use to
estimate major cost factors, including
system and technology acquisition,
expected useful life of capital
equipment, discount rate(s), and the
period over which you incur costs.
Capital and startup costs include,
among other items, computers and
software you purchase to prepare for
collecting information, monitoring, and
record storage facilities. You should not
include estimates for equipment or
services purchased: (i) Before October 1,
1995; (ii) to comply with requirements
not associated with the information
collection; (iii) for reasons other than to
provide information or keep records for
the Government; or (iv) as part of

customary and usual business or private
practices.
We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
submission for OMB approval. As a
result of your comments, we will make
any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.
Public Comment Procedures: MMS’s
practice is to make comments, including
names and addresses of respondents,
available for public review. If you wish
your name and/or address to be
withheld, you must state this
prominently at the beginning of your
comment. MMS will honor this request
to the extent allowable by law; however,
anonymous comments will not be
considered. There may be circumstances
in which we would withhold from the
record a respondent’s identity, as
allowable by the law. If you wish us to
withhold your name and/or address,
you must state this prominently at the
beginning of your comment. In addition,
you must present a rationale for
withholding this information. This
rationale must demonstrate that
disclosure ‘‘would constitute an
unwarranted invasion of privacy.’’
Unsupported assertions will not meet
this burden. In the absence of
exceptional, documentable
circumstances, this information will be
released. All submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, will be
made available for public inspection in
their entirety.
