The BSEE uses the information 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
well-control 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.

The current OMB inventory
includes 102,512 burden hours. In this submission, we are
requesting a total of 83,488 hours. This represents a decrease of
19,024 hours. An adjustment decrease of 5,142 burden hours is due
to the following two factors: (1) based on input from outreach
listed in A.8 we have re-estimated the amount of time required to
respond; and (2) based on the average number of annual responses
BSEE received over the last 3 years we have re-estimated the amount
of responses. This also represents a program decrease of 13,882
burden hours which were relocated to 1014-0028 due to the
publication of the Well Operations and Equipment final rule on
April 29, 2016 [81 FR 25888].
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.
