On April 5, 2016, BOEM published a
proposed rule that would amend BOEM regulations related to air
quality measurement, evaluation, and control for oil, gas, and
sulfur operations on the OCS. This final rule amends BOEM air
quality management regulations applicable to activities authorized
by BOEM on the OCS. Because the proposed rule was intended to
replace the existing set of regulations in its entirety, and not,
like this final rule, simply to update certain provisions, the
structure of the proposed rule was quite different from that of the
final rule. The final rule makes only a limited number of updates
to the existing regulations and does not fundamentally restructure
the existing regulations. The information collections activities
intended in the proposed rule were assigned control number
1010-0192, including those burdens related to forms BOEM-0138 and
BOEM-0139. The final rule only updates twp forms approved for use
under OMB control number 1010-0151. With OMB approval of the form
revisions, BOEM plans to replace forms BOEM-0138 and BOEM-0139
under OMB control number 1010-0151. BOEM is submitting an
information collection revision of OMB control number 1010-0151
with the final rulemaking to address the modification to forms
BOEM-0138 and BOEM-0139. The overall annual burden hours and
non-hour cost burdens are not impacted by this final
rulemaking.
