BSEE collects the information to
ensure that operations on the OCS are inspected daily for the
prevention of pollution; any problems observed are corrected.
Respondents are Outer Continental Shelf Federal oil and gas and
sulphur lessees and/or operators.
This collection is a program
change for two reasons: 1) since we became a new Bureau on 10/1/11,
we are requesting a new OMB control number under the 1014 numbering
series for the 30 CFR 250, subpart C regulatory requirements and,
2) we inadvertently had an IC requirement pertaining to Marine
Trash and Debris (§ 250.300) under BOEM and that is being
consolidated into this BSEE collection. Once OMB approves this ICR,
the duplicative hour burden will be removed from the respective
BOEM collection. There are no non-hour cost burdens associated with
this collection.
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.
