The current OMB inventory includes 53,156 burden hours for this collection of information. This submission requests 5,284 burden hours; which is a decrease of 47,872 hours. There is a program change decrease due to the publication of the final blowout preventer regulations into the new Subpart G regulations, Well Operations and Equipment (-36,309 burden hours), and the removal of general departure and alternative compliance hours which are currently covered under 1014-0022 (-13,906 burden hours). An adjustment increase is due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses and the amount of time required to respond based on industry outreach (+2,343 burden hours).
