SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES

Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart E, Oil and
Gas Well-Completion Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0004.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended at 43

U.S.C. 1334 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, right-of-way, or a right-ofuse and easement. Operations on the
OCS must preserve, protect, and
develop oil and gas resources in the
OCS 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 resources development
with protection of the human, marine,
and coastal environment; to ensure the
public a fair and equitable return on the
resources of the OCS; and to preserve
and maintain free enterprise
competition.
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
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.
These authorities and responsibilities
are among those delegated to BSEE. The
regulations at 30 CFR 250, Subpart E,
concern oil and gas well-completion
operations and are the subject of this
collection. This request also covers the
related Notices to Lessees and Operators

(NTLs) that BSEE issues to clarify,
supplement, or provide additional
guidance on some aspects of our
regulations.
All responses are mandatory. This
collection does not contain questions of
a sensitive nature. BSEE will protect
proprietary information according to the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552) and DOI’s implementing
regulations (43 CFR 2); 30 CFR part
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.
BSEE uses the information collected
under Subpart E to ensure that planned
well-completion operations will protect
personnel and natural resources. We use
the analysis and evaluation results in
the decision to approve, disapprove, or
require modification to the proposed
well-completion operations.
Specifically, BSEE uses the information
to ensure:
• Compliance with personnel safety
training requirements;
• Crown block safety device is
operating and can be expected to
function to avoid accidents;
• Proposed operation of the annular
preventer is technically correct and
provides adequate protection for
personnel, property, and natural
resources;
• Well-completion operations are
conducted on well casings that are
structurally competent; and
• Sustained casing pressures are
within acceptable limits.
Frequency: Weekly, monthly,
biannually, and vary by section.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal oil, gas,
or sulfur lessees and/or operators, and
holders of pipeline rights-of-way.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
information collection is a total of
14,890 hours. The following chart
details the individual components and
estimated hour burdens. 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.

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified no non-hour cost
burdens associated with this collection
of information.
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: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.,)
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.
