The MMS uses the information collected and records maintained under Subpart I to determine the structural integrity of all offshore platforms and floating production facilities and to ensure that such integrity will be maintained throughout the useful life of these structures.
As of December 1, 2008, the final rule for 30 CFR 250 became effective (73 FR 64541, October 30, 2008).The rule collection (1010-0168, expiration October 31, 2011) consists of burden hours relating to 30 CFR 250 subparts A, I, and J (50,287 total hours).The MMS is, therefore, consolidating the burden hours (48,673) for 30 CFR 250, subpart I, into the primary collection for subpart I--OMB Control Number 1010-0149 (expiration June 30, 2011).The remaining 1,614 hours are being consolidated into their respective subparts, subpart A, 1010-0114 (expiration November 30, 2010) and J, 1010-0050 (expiration March 3l, 2009). After OMB approves the consolidations, MMS will discontinue 1010-0168.
