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,

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:
• 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
