SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart C,
‘‘Pollution Prevention and Control.’’
OMB Control Number: 1010–0057.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.)
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) to prescribe rules and
regulations to administer leasing of the
OCS. Such rules and regulations will
apply to all operations conducted under
a lease. Operations on the OCS must
preserve, protect, and develop oil and
natural gas resources in a manner that
is consistent with the need to make such
resources available to meet the Nation’s
energy needs as rapidly as possible; to
balance orderly energy resource
development with protection of human,
marine, and coastal environments; to
ensure the public a fair and equitable
return on the resources of the OCS; and
to preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition.
Section 1332(6) states that
‘‘operations in the [O]uter Continental
Shelf should be conducted in a safe
manner by well-trained personnel using
technology, precautions, and techniques
sufficient to prevent or minimize the
likelihood of blowouts, loss of well

control, fires, spillages, physical
obstruction to other users of the waters
or subsoil and seabed, or other
occurrences which may cause damage to
the environment or to property, or
endanger life or health.’’ Section
1334(a)(8) requires that regulations
prescribed by the Secretary include
provisions ‘‘for compliance with the
national ambient air quality standards
pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.
7401 et seq.), to the extent that activities
authorized under this Act significantly
affect the air quality of any State.’’
Section 1843(b) calls for ‘‘regulations
requiring all materials, equipment,
tools, containers, and all other items
used on the Outer Continental Shelf to
be properly color coded, stamped, or
labeled, wherever practicable, with the
owner’s identification prior to actual
use.’’
This information collection (IC)
request covers the regulations at 30 CFR
Part 250, Subpart C, Pollution
Prevention and Control. It also covers
the related Notices to Lessees and
Operators (NTLs) that the Minerals
Management Service (MMS) issues to
clarify and provide additional guidance
on some aspects of the regulations.
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 or for limited release.’’ No
items of a sensitive nature are collected.
Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion, monthly, or
annually, daily for inspection
recordkeeping; varies by section.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 130
Federal OCS oil and gas or sulphur
lessees and 17 states.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 226,451
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.

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
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
