Abstract: The Federal Water Pollution
Control Act (FWPCA), as amended by
the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA),
requires that a spill-response plan be
submitted for offshore facilities prior to
February 18, 1993. The OPA specifies
that after that date, an offshore facility
may not handle, store, or transport oil
unless a plan has been submitted.
Regulations at 30 CFR 254 establish
requirements for spill-response plans for
oil-handling facilities seaward of the
coastline, including associated
pipelines. BSEE uses the information
collected under 30 CFR 254 to
determine compliance with OPA by
lessees/operators. Specifically, BSEE
needs the information to:
• Determine that lessees/operators
have an adequate plan and are
sufficiently prepared to implement a
quick and effective response to a
discharge of oil from their facilities or
operations.
• Review plans prepared under the
regulations of a State and submitted to
BSEE to satisfy the requirements in 30
CFR 254 to ensure that they meet
minimum requirements of OPA.
• Verify that personnel involved in
oil-spill response are properly trained
and familiar with the requirements of
the spill-response plans and to lead and
witness spill-response exercises.
• Assess the sufficiency and
availability of contractor equipment and
materials.
• Verify that enough quantities of
equipment are available and in working
order.
• Oversee spill-response efforts and
maintain official records of pollution
events.
• Assess the efforts of lessees/
operators to prevent oil spills or prevent
substantial threats of such discharges.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR 254, OilSpill Response Requirements for
Facilities Located Seaward of the
Coastline.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0007.
Form Number: None.

Abstract: This authority and
responsibility are among those
delegated BSEE. The regulations at 30
CFR part 203, are the subject of this
collection. This request also covers the
related Notices to Lessees and Operators
(NTLs) that BSEE issues to clarify,
supplement, or provide additional
guidance on some aspects of our
regulations. The information collected
under 30 CFR part 203, Relief or
Reduction in Royalty Rates is used in
our efforts to make decisions on the
economic viability of leases requesting a
suspension or elimination of royalty or
net profit share. These decisions have
enormous monetary impact on both the
lessee and the Federal government.
Royalty relief can lead to increased
production of natural gas and oil,
creating profits for lessees, and royalty
and tax revenues for the Federal
government that they might not
otherwise receive. We could not make
an informed decision without the
collection of information required by 30
CFR part 203.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 203,
Relief or Reduction in Royalty Rates.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0005.
Form Number: None.
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,
