BSEE uses the information to determine the conditions of a drilling site. This is necessary to prevent the hazards inherent in drilling operations and to increase the margin of safety of personnel and the environment. Respondents are outer continental shelf Federal oil and gas and sulphur lessees.
The adjustments are as follows:(a)The current OMB inventory for 1010-0141 includes 147,014 burden hours.In this submission, we are requesting a total of 215,624 hours. This represents an adjustment increase of 68,610 hours.The increase is due to re-estimating the average annual responses and the amount of time required to respond.(b) The current OMB non-hour cost burden inventory is $1,789,340.In this submission, we are requesting a total of $1,209,104.This represents an adjustment decrease of $580,236. The decrease is due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses times its associated non-hour cost burden.
