Abstract: 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 updates two 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.
