case of the need to rescue offshore
workers in distress, to monitor damage
to offshore platforms and drilling rigs,
and to advise the news media and
interested public entities when
production is shut-in and when
resumed. The Gulf of Mexico OCS
Region (GOMR) uses Form BSEE–0132,
Hurricane and Tropical Storm
Evacuation and Production Curtailment
Statistics, for respondents to report
evacuation statistics when necessary.
This form requires the respondent to
submit general information such as
company name, contact, date, time,
telephone number, as well as number of
platforms and drilling rigs evacuated
and not evacuated. We also require
production shut-in statistics for oil
(BOPD) and gas (MMSCFD).
Form BSEE–0143, Facility/Equipment
Damage Report
• Assists lessees, lease operators, and
pipeline right-of-way holders when
reporting damage by a hurricane,
earthquake, or other natural
phenomenon. They are required to
submit an initial damage report to the
Regional Supervisor within 48 hours
after completing the initial evaluation of
the damage and then, subsequent
reports, monthly and immediately,
whenever information changes until the
damaged structure or equipment is
returned to service. Information on the
form includes—instructions, general
information, a description of the
damage, an initial damage assessment,
production rate at time of shut-in (BPD
and/or MMCFPD), cumulative
production shut-in (BPD and/or
MMCFPD), and estimated time to return
to service (in days).

Abstract: The BSEE uses the
information to ensure safe drilling
operations and to protect the human,
marine, and coastal environment.
Among other things, BSEE specifically
uses the information to ensure: the
drilling unit is fit for the intended
purpose; the lessee or operator will not
encounter geologic conditions that
present a hazard to operations;
equipment is maintained in a state of
readiness and meets safety standards;
each drilling crew is properly trained
and able to promptly perform wellcontrol activities at any time during
well operations; compliance with safety
standards; and the current regulations
will provide for safe and proper field or
reservoir development, resource
evaluation, conservation, protection of
correlative rights, safety, and
environmental protection. We also
review well records to ascertain whether
drilling operations have encountered
hydrocarbons or H2S and to ensure that
H2S detection equipment, personnel
protective equipment, and training of
the crew are adequate for safe
operations in zones known to contain
H2S and zones where the presence of
H2S is unknown.
This ICR includes three forms. The
forms use and information consist of the
following:
End of Operations Report, BSEE–0125
This information is used to ensure
that industry has accurate and up-todate data and information on wells and
leasehold activities under their
jurisdiction and to ensure compliance
with approved plans and any conditions
placed upon a suspension or temporary
probation. It is also used to evaluate the
remedial action in the event of well
equipment failure or well control loss.
The Form BSEE–0125 is updated and
resubmitted in the event the well status
changes. In addition, except for
proprietary data, BSEE is required by

Jkt 253001

the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
Lands Act to make available to the
public certain information submitted on
BSEE–0125.
Well Activity Report, BSEE–0133 and
–0133S
The BSEE uses this information to
monitor the conditions of a well and
status of drilling operations. We review
the information to be aware of the well
conditions and current drilling activity
(i.e., well depth, drilling fluid weight,
casing types and setting depths,
completed well logs, and recent safety
equipment tests and drills). The
engineer uses this information to
determine how accurately the lessee
anticipated well conditions and if the
lessee or operator is following the other
approved forms that were submitted.
With the information collected on
BSEE–0133 available, the reviewers can
analyze the proposed revisions (e.g.,
revised grade of casing or deeper casing
setting depth) and make a quick and
informed decision on the request.
In addition, except for proprietary
data, BSEE is required by the OCS
Lands Act to make available to the
public certain information submitted on
Forms BSEE–0133 and –0133S.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR 250,
Subpart D, Oil and Gas Drilling
Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0018.
Form Number: BSEE–0125, BSEE–
0133, and BSEE–0133S.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Potential respondents include Federal
OCS oil, gas, and sulfur lessees and/or
operators and holders of pipeline rightsof-way.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: Currently there are
approximately 60 Oil and Gas Drilling
and Production Operators in the OCS.
Not all the potential respondents will
submit information in any given year,
and some may submit multiple times.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 63,744.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 15 minutes to 40 hours,
depending on the activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 83,993.
Respondent’s Obligation: Responses
are mandatory.
Frequency of Collection: Submissions
are generally on occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $16,000.
An agency may not conduct, or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
