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 and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
