Abstract: The regulations at 30 CFR
part 250, subpart Q, concern the
decommissioning regulatory
requirements of oil, gas, and sulphur
operations in the Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) 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 BSEE uses the information
collected under the Subpart Q
regulations to ensure that operations on
the OCS are carried out in a safe and
pollution-free manner, do not interfere
with the rights of other users on the
OCS, and balance the protection and
development of OCS resources.
Specifically, we use the information
collected:
• To determine the necessity for
allowing a well to be temporarily
abandoned, the lessee/operator must
demonstrate that there is a reason for
not permanently plugging the well, and
the temporary abandonment will not
interfere with fishing, navigation, or
other uses of the OCS. We use the
information and documentation to
verify that the lessee/operator is
diligently pursuing the final disposition
of the well and has performed the
temporary plugging of the wellbore.

• To ensure the information
submitted in initial decommissioning
plans in the Alaska and Pacific OCS
Regions will permit BSEE to become
involved on the ground floor planning
of platform removals anticipated to
occur in these OCS regions.
• To ensure that all objects
(wellheads, platforms, etc.) installed on
the OCS are properly removed using
procedures that will protect marine life
and the environment during removal
operations, and the site cleared so as not
to conflict with or harm other uses of
the OCS in coordination with other
Federal, State, and local government
agencies.
• To ensure that information
regarding decommissioning a pipeline
in place will not constitute a hazard to
navigation and commercial fishing
operations, unduly interfere with other
uses of the OCS, such as sand resource
areas for coastal restoration projects, or
have adverse environmental effects.
• To verify that decommissioning
activities comply with approved
applications and procedures and are
satisfactorily completed.
• To evaluate and approve the
adequacy of the equipment, materials,
and/or procedures that the lessee or
operator plans to use during well
modifications and changes in
equipment, etc.
• To help BSEE better estimate future
decommissioning costs for OCS leases,
rights-of-way, and rights of use and
easements. BSEE’s future
decommissioning cost estimates may
then be used by BOEM to set necessary
financial assurance levels to minimize
or eliminate the possibility that the
government will incur abandonment
liability. The information will assist
BSEE and BOEM in meeting their
stewardship responsibilities and in their
roles as regulators.
