This information collection request
concerns the paperwork requirements in

After a major weather event, like a
hurricane, lessees and operators need to
keep reporting new information to MMS
until all MODUs are determined to be
safe.
DATES: Submit written comments by
August 7, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart A, General,
GPS (Global Positioning System) for
MODUs
OMB Control Number: 1010–0177.
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

PO 00000

Frm 00079

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

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;
preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition; and ensure that the extent
of oil and natural gas resources of the
OCS is assessed at the earliest
practicable time. Section 43 U.S.C.
1332(6) states that ‘‘operations in the
outer Continental Shelf should be
conducted in a safe manner by welltrained 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.’’
To carry out these responsibilities, the
Minerals Management Service (MMS)
issues regulations to ensure that
operations in the OCS will meet
statutory requirements; provide for
safety and protect the environment; and
result in diligent exploration,
development, and production of OCS
leases. In addition, we also issue Notice
to Lessees (NTLs) that provide
clarification, explanation, and
interpretation of our regulations. These
NTLs are used to convey purely
informational material and to cover
situations that might not be adequately
addressed in our regulations.
Regulations at 30 CFR 250 implement
these statutory requirements. We use the
information for MMS to assess the
whereabouts of any facility becoming
unmoored due to extreme weather
situations; as well as, to follow the path
of that facility to determine if other
facilities/pipelines, etc., were damaged
in any way. The offshore oil and gas
industry will use the information to
determine the safest and quickest way to
either remove the obstacles or to fix and
reuse them.
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 inspection. No
items of a sensitive nature are collected.
Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion.

Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 130
Federal OCS oil and or gas operators/
lessees.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The

currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 84 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.

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified two non-hour
paperwork cost burdens for this
collection, see the burden table.
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 paperwork 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: Before
including your address, phone number,
email 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.
