SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart P,
Sulphur Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0006.
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
to prescribe rules and regulations
necessary for the administration of the
leasing provisions of that Act related to
mineral resources on the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease.
Operations on the OCS must preserve,
protect, and develop mineral 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; and to preserve
and maintain free enterprise
competition.
Section 5(a) of the OCS Lands Act
requires the Secretary to prescribe rules
and regulations ‘‘to provide for the
prevention of waste, and conservation of
the natural resources of the Outer
Continental Shelf, and the protection of
correlative rights therein’’ and to
include provisions ‘‘for the prompt and
efficient exploration and development
of a lease area.’’ These authorities and
responsibilities are among those
delegated to BSEE to ensure that
operations in the OCS will meet
statutory requirements; provide for
safety and protection of the
environment; and result in diligent
exploration, development, and
production of OCS leases.
In addition to the general rulemaking
authority of the OCSLA at 43 U.S.C.
1334, section 301(a) of the Federal Oil
and Gas Royalty Management Act
(FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants
authority to the Secretary to prescribe
such rules and regulations as are
reasonably necessary to carry out
FOGRMA’s provisions. While the
majority of FOGRMA is directed to
royalty collection and enforcement,
some provisions apply to offshore
operations. For example, section 108 of
FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1718, grants the
Secretary broad authority to inspect
lease sites for the purpose of

E:\FR\FM\16JYN1.SGM

16JYN1

42539

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 136 / Tuesday, July 16, 2013 / Notices
determining whether there is
compliance with the mineral leasing
laws. Section 109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30
U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) and (d)(1), impose
substantial civil penalties for failure to
permit lawful inspections and for
knowing or willful preparation or
submission of false, inaccurate, or
misleading reports, records, or other
information. Because the Secretary has
delegated some of the authority under
FOGRMA to BSEE, 30 U.S.C. 1751 is
included as additional authority for
these requirements.
This ICR addresses the regulations at
30 CFR 250, subpart P, Sulphur
Operations, and any associated
supplementary Notices to Lessees and
Operators (NTLs) intended to provide
clarification, description, or explanation
of these regulations.
Currently, there are no active sulphur
lease operations on the OCS. Therefore,
this ICR and its relevant hours represent
one potential respondent.
Regulations at 30 CFR part 250,
subpart P, implement these statutory
requirements. The BSEE uses the
information collected to ascertain the
condition of drilling sites for the
purpose of preventing hazards inherent
in sulphur drilling and production
operations and to evaluate the adequacy
of equipment and/or procedures to be
used during the conduct of drilling,

well-completion, well-workover, and
production operations. The BSEE uses
the information to:
• Ascertain that a discovered sulphur
deposit can be classified as capable of
production in paying quantities.
• Ensure accurate and complete
measurement of production to
determine the amount of sulphur
royalty payments due the United States;
and that the sale locations are secure,
production has been measured
accurately, and appropriate follow-up
actions are initiated.
• Ensure the adequacy and safety of
firefighting plans; the drilling unit is fit
for the intended purpose; and the
adequacy of casing for anticipated
conditions.
• Review drilling, well-completion,
well-workover diagrams and
procedures, as well as production
operation procedures to ensure the
safety of the proposed sulphur drilling,
well-completion, well-workover and
proposed production operations.
• Monitor environmental data during
sulphur operations in offshore areas
where such data are not already
available to provide a valuable source of
information to evaluate the performance
of drilling rigs under various weather
and ocean conditions. This information
is necessary to make reasonable
determinations regarding safety of

Citation 30 CFR 250

operations and environmental
protection.
The BSEE will protect proprietary
information according to the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its
implementing regulations (43 CFR 2); 30
CFR 250.197, Data and information to
be made available to the public or for
limited inspection; and 30 CFR part 252,
OCS Oil and Gas Information Program.
No items of a sensitive nature are
collected. Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: Occasional and varies by
section, but information concerning
drilling, well-completion, and wellworkover operations and production is
collected only once for each particular
activity.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 1 Federal
OCS sulphur lessee.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 903 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.

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
collection is necessary or useful; (b)
evaluate the accuracy 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
technology.
Agencies must also estimate the nonhour paperwork cost burdens to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting
from the collection of information.
