The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) is proposing to create new 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart G--Well Operations and Equipment through rulemaking in order to consolidate common equipment and operational functions regarding Blowout Preventers (BOPs). This ICR deals with portions of ten of BSEE's currently approved ICRs that are impacted by Subpart G of this new rule.
US Code:
43 USC 1334
Name of Law: Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act
US Code:
30 USC 1751
Name of Law: Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act
US Code:
31 USC 9701
Name of Law: Independent Offices Appropriations Act
The program changes and/or adjustments are as follows: This ICR deals with ten of BSEEâs already approved ICRâs. The currently approved burden hours represent
197,483 hours and $102,500 non-hour cost burdens. New or revised requirements are considered program changes and they represent 87,628 burden hours and no new/additional non-hour cost burdens.
NOTE: The Number of responses in the "Change Due to Adjustment in Agency Estimate" are overstated 3,312 responses. This is because the changes in Subpart B, APDs, and APM increased the burden hours per response but did not increase the number of responses. Due to ROCIS limitations we had to add those responses into the corresponding Information Collections to ensure the burden hours are reflected correctly. This issue will be resolved when the changes are incorporated into the original 10 ICRs noted above.
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.
