Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The current OMB inventory for this collection includes 63,561 burden hours. In this submission, we are requesting a total of 78,084 burden hours. This represents an adjustment increase of 14,592 burden hours. The adjustment increase is due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses. This also represents a program decrease of 69 burden hours due to this final rulemaking, 1014-AA39, Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control Revisions. The current OMB non-hour cost burden is $862,104. In this submission, we are requesting $4,861,104 in non-hour cost burden. This represents a program increase of $3,999,000 for Independent Third Party costs being added due to this final rulemaking, 1014-AA39, Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control Revisions.
