those offshore facilities that have a
potential oil spill liability;

continuous record, over the liability

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified no reporting and
recordkeeping non-hour cost burdens
for this collection.
Public Disclosure Statement: OMB
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521,
require that interested members of the
public and affected agencies be given an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping activities
(see 5 CFR 1320.8 (d) and 1320.12(a)).
This notice identifies an information
collection that the BOEM plans to
submit to OMB for approval. The
Paperwork Reduction Act 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: The BOEM will request a
3-year term of approval for this
information collection activity.
Comments are invited on: (1) The need
for the collection of information for the
performance of the functions of the
agency; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s
burden estimates; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the information collection
burden on respondents, such as use of
automated means of collection of the
information. A summary of the public
comments will accompany our
submission of the information collection
requests to OMB.

Agencies must also estimate the nonhour cost burdens to respondents or
recordkeepers resulting from the
collection of information. Therefore, if
you have costs to generate, maintain,
and disclose this information, you
should comment and provide your total
capital and startup costs or annual cost
components or annual operation,
maintenance, and purchase of service
components. You should describe the
methods you use to estimate major cost
factors, including system and
technology acquisition, expected useful
life of capital equipment, discount
rate(s), and the period over which you
incur costs. Capital and startup costs
include, among other items, computers
and software you purchase to prepare
for collecting information, monitoring,
and record storage facilities. You should
not include estimates for equipment or
services purchased: (a) Before October 1,
1995; (b) to comply with requirements
not associated with the information
collection; (c) for reasons other than to
provide information or keep records for
the Government; or (d) as part of
customary and usual business or private

We will summarize written responses

result of your comments, we will make
any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.
