ACTION:
opportunity to comment on the revised
paperwork burden of these regulatory
requirements.
Title: 30 CFR part 250, Application for
Permit to Drill (APD, Revised APD),
Supplemental APD Information Sheet,
and all supporting documentation.
Form(s): BSEE–0123 and –0123S.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0025.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act 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-of-use and
easement. Operations on the OCS must
preserve, protect, and develop oil and
natural gas 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
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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.
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. Under the Department
of the Interior’s implementing policy,
BSEE is required to charge fees for
services that provide special benefits or
privileges to an identifiable non-Federal
recipient above and beyond those which
accrue to the public at large.
Applications for permits to drill are
subject to cost recovery, and BSEE
regulations specify a service fee for this
request.
This authority and responsibility are
among those delegated to BSEE. The
regulations at 30 CFR part 250 stipulates
the various requirements that must be
submitted with forms BSEE–0123,
Application for Permit to Drill (APD),
Revised APD, and BSEE–0123S,
Supplemental APD Information Sheet.
The forms and the numerous submittals
included with them are the subject of
this collection. There are no changes
being made to the forms with this ICR
submission. This request also covers
any related Notices to Lessees and
Operators (NTLs) that BSEE issues to
clarify, supplement, or provide
E:\FR\FM\28FEN1.SGM
28FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 38 / Tuesday, February 28, 2017 / Notices
additional guidance on some aspects of
our regulations.
Most responses are mandatory, while
some are required to obtain or retain a
benefit. No questions of a sensitive
nature are asked. BSEE will protect any
confidential commercial or proprietary
information according to section 26 of
OCSLA (43 U.S.C. 1352); the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552); and
DOI’s implementing regulations (43 CFR
2), and according to 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.
BSEE uses the information from forms
BSEE–0123 and BSEE–0123s to ensure
safe drilling operations and to protect
the human, marine, and coastal
environment. Among other things, BSEE
specifically uses the information to
ensure: The drilling unit is fit for the
intended purpose; the lessee or operator
will not encounter geologic conditions
that present a hazard to operations;
equipment is maintained in a state of
readiness and meets safety standards;
each drilling crew is properly trained
and able to promptly perform wellcontrol activities at any time during
well operations; compliance with safety
standards; and the current regulations
will provide for safe and proper field or
reservoir development, resource
evaluation, conservation, protection of
correlative rights, safety, and
environmental protection. We also
review well records to ascertain whether
drilling operations have encountered
hydrocarbons or H2S and to ensure that
H2S detection equipment, personnel
protective equipment, and training of
the crew are adequate for safe
operations in zones known to contain
H2S and zones where the presence of
H2S is unknown.
Also, we use the information to
determine the conditions of a drilling
site to avoid hazards inherent in drilling
operations. Specifically, we use the
information to evaluate the adequacy of
a lessee’s or operator’s plan and
equipment for drilling, sidetracking, or
deepening operations. This includes the
adequacy of the proposed casing design,
casing setting depths, drilling fluid
(mud) programs, cementing programs,
and BOP systems to ascertain that the
proposed operations will be conducted
in an operationally safe manner that
provides adequate protection for the
environment. The BSEE also reviews the
information to ensure conformance with
specific provisions of the lease. In
addition, except for proprietary data,
BSEE is required by the OCS Lands Act
to make available to the public certain
information submitted on Forms BSEE–
0123 and -0123S. The information on
the forms is as follows:
BSEE–0123
Heading: BSEE uses the information
to identify the type of proposed drilling
activity for which approval is requested.
Well at Total Depth/Surface:
Information utilized to identify the
location (area, block, lease, latitude and
longitude) of the proposed drilling
activity.
Significant Markers Anticipated:
Identification of significant geologic
formations, structures and/or horizons
that the lessee or operator expects to
encounter. This information, in
conjunction with seismic data, is
needed to correlate with other wells
drilled in the area to assess the risks and
hazards inherent in drilling operations.
Question/Information: The
information is used to ascertain the
adequacy of the drilling fluids (mud)
program to ensure control of the well,
the adequacy of the surface casing
compliance with EPA offshore pollutant
discharge requirements and the shut in
of adjacent wells to ensure safety while
moving a rig on and off a drilling
location, as well that the worst case
discharge scenario information reflects
the well and is updated if applicable.
12123
This information is also provided in the
course of electronically requesting
approval of drilling operations via
eWell.
BSEE–0123S
Heading: BSEE uses this information
to identify the lease operator, rig name,
rig elevation, water depth, type well
(exploratory, development), and the
presence of H2S and other data which
is needed to assess operational risks and
safety.
Well Design Information: This
engineering data identifies casing size,
pressure rating, setting depth and
current volume, hole size, mud weight,
blowout preventer (BOP) and well bore
designs, formation and BOP test data
and other criteria. The information is
utilized by BSEE engineers to verify
operational safety and ensure well
control to prevent blowouts and other
hazards to personnel and the
environment. This form accommodates
requested data collection for successive
sections of the borehole as drilling
proceeds toward total depth below each
intermediate casing point.
Frequency: On occasion and as
required by regulations.
Description of Respondents: Potential
respondents comprise Federal OCS oil,
gas, or sulfur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
estimated annual hour burden for this
information collection is a total of
63,561 hours and $862,104 non-hour
costs. 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.

* In the future, BSEE may require electronic filing of some submissions.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified one non-hour cost
burden associated with the collection of
information for a total of $862,104. It is
the $2,113 service fee required to
recover the Federal Government’s
processing costs of the APD. We have
not identified any other 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

minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
technology.
To comply with the public
consultation process, on September 22,
2016, we published a Federal Register
notice (81 FR 65399) announcing that
we would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. In
addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB
Control Number for the information
collection requirements imposed by the
regulations and forms. The regulations

On the basis of the record 1 developed

materially injured by reason of imports
of certain new pneumatic off-the-road
tires from India, provided for in
headings 4011, 8431, 8709, and 8716 of
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States, that have been found by
the Department of Commerce
(‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold in the United
States at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’)
and subsidized by the government of
India, and by reason of imports of
certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires
found by Commerce to be subsidized by
the government of Sri Lanka.2 3

1 The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19
CFR 207.2(f)).

India and Sri Lanka.
