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 manage the mineral
resources of the OCS. Such rules and
regulations will apply to all operations
conducted under a lease, right-of-use
and easement, and pipeline right-ofway. 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
[NAAQS] 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.’’
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are under 30 CFR Part
250, Subpart C. Responses are
mandatory. No questions of a sensitive
nature are asked. The MMS protects
information considered proprietary
according to 30 CFR 250.197, Data and
information to be made available to the
public or for limited inspection, and the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and its implementing regulations
(43 CFR 2).
The MMS OCS Regions collect
information required under part 250,
subpart C, to ensure that:
• There is no threat of serious,
irreparable, or immediate damage to the
marine environment and to identify
potential hazards to commercial fishing
caused by OCS oil and gas exploration,
development, and production activities;
• The operator records the location of
items lost overboard to aid in recovery
during site clearance activities on the
lease;
• Operations are conducted according
to all applicable regulations, permit
conditions and requirements, and
conducted in a safe and workmanlike
manner;
• OCS oil and gas operations
minimize air pollution of the OCS and
adjacent onshore areas and comply with
the required emission levels;
• A data baseline is established for
the meteorological conditions in frontier
areas of the OCS to determine that
offshore facilities and operational
practices can withstand the expected
environmental forces in an area;
• Discharge or disposal of drill
cuttings, sand, and other well solids,
including those containing naturally
occurring radioactive materials (NORM),
are properly handled for the protection
of OCS workers and the environment;
and
• Facilities are inspected daily for the
prevention of pollution, and problems
observed are corrected.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 22, 2008 / Notices

For the Gulf of Mexico OCS Region
(GOMR), this ICR also addresses the
following non-routine information
collection:
• The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) promulgated National
Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) for ozone, fine (i.e., < 2.5
micron) particulate matter (PM2.5), and
regulations for regional haze. Air quality
related information will be needed to
address any new or outstanding NAAQS
and regional haze regulations. In
preparation for usage by States and
regional planning organizations,
Citation 30 CFR 250 Subpart C and related NTL(s)

affected respondents are being required
to collect and report air pollutant
emissions data for OCS activities in the
GOMR for the 2008 calendar year. This
data will be used in future regional air
quality modeling in support of revisions
to State Implementation Plans and other
air quality regulations. OCS lessees and
operators are being required to collect
these emissions data during the period
of 1/1/08 to 12/31/08 and report the
data to MMS in 2009.
Frequency: On occasion, daily.

estimated annual hour burden for this

details the individual components and
estimated hour burdens. 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.

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have identified no
paperwork non-hour cost burdens
associated with this collection of
information.
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: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.)
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.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on May 28, 2008,
we published a Federal Register notice
(73 FR 30625) announcing that we
would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In

addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB
control number for the information
collection requirements imposed by the
30 CFR 250 regulations and forms. The
regulation also informs the public that
they may comment at any time on the
collections of information and provides
the address to which they should send
comments. We have received no
comments in response to these efforts.
If you wish to comment in response
to this notice, you may send your
comments to the offices listed under the
ADDRESSES section of this notice. The
OMB has up to 60 days to approve or
disapprove the information collection
but may respond after 30 days.
Therefore, to ensure maximum
consideration, OMB should receive
public comments by November 21,
2008.
Public Availability of Comments:
Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail 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.
