SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on March 6,
2018 (83 FR 9541). No comments were
received.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comments addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of
BSEE; (2) Will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) Is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) How might BSEE enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) How
might BSEE minimize the burden of this
collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The regulations at 30 CFR
part 250, subpart S, concern the Safety
and Environmental Management
Systems (SEMS) (including the
associated forms), and are the subject of
this collection. This request also covers
any related Notices to Lessees and
Operators (NTLs) that BSEE issues to
clarify, supplement, or provide
additional guidance on some aspects of
our regulations.

The Subpart S regulations hold the
operator accountable for the overall
safety of the offshore facility, including
ensuring that all employees, contractors,
and subcontractors have safety policies
and procedures in place that support the
implementation of the operator’s SEMS
program and align with the principles of
managing safety. An operator’s SEMS
program must describe management’s
commitment to safety and the
environment, as well as policies and
procedures to assure safety and
environmental protection while
conducting OCS operations (including
those operations conducted by all
personnel on the facility). BSEE will use
the information obtained by submittals
and observed via SEMS audits to ensure
that operations on the OCS are
conducted safely, as they pertain to both
human and environmental factors, and
in accordance with BSEE regulations,
including industry practices
incorporated by reference within the
regulations. Job Safety Analyses (JSA’s)
and other recordkeeping required by the
SEMS regulation will be reviewed
diligently by BSEE during inspections
and other oversight activities and by
SEMS auditors during regulatory
required audits, to ensure that industry
is using the documentation required by
the SEMS regulation to manage their
safety and environmental risks.
Information on Form BSEE–0131,
which the SEMS regulation requires to
be submitted to BSEE annually,
includes company identification,
number of company/contractor injuries
and/or illnesses suffered, company/
contractor hours worked, EPA National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit non-compliances, and
oil spill volumes for spills less than 1
barrel. Such information is reported on
a calendar year basis, with data broken
out by calendar quarter. The
information is used to develop industry
average incident rates that help to
describe how well the offshore oil and
gas industry is performing. Operators
use these incident rates to benchmark
against their own performance, and to
focus on areas that need improvement.
Using the produced data allows BSEE to
better focus our regulatory and research
programs on areas where the
performance measures indicate that
operators are having difficulty meeting
our expectations. BSEE will be more
effective in leveraging resources by
redirecting research efforts, promoting
appropriate regulatory initiatives, and
shifting inspection and Directed Audit
program emphasis based on
performance results.
