BOEMRE collects the information to
determine whether an OCS facility will have a significant effect on
the air quality and readiness of an offshore lessee to prevent or
contain pollution in offshore waters. Respondents are Outer
Continental Shelf Federal oil and gas and sulphur lessees and/or
operators.
Technically, this collection is
a program change for one IC for one additional hour. For numerous
years, this office has had an IC requirement pertaining to the
Pacific Region's State air quality requirement under 30 CFR 250,
subpart H. This ICR has removed the requirement out of subpart H
(1010-0059) and consolidated the requirement in this collection.The
currently approved OMB inventory is 198,866 burden hours for 30 CFR
Part 250, Subpart C requirements for this collection. This
submission requests 196,547. The adjustment decrease of 2,320
burden hours is due to a decrease in the time it takes industry to
complete the function based on consultations.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
