The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) in conjunction with the Bureau of Environment, Safety and Security (BSEE) prepared a notice of proposed rulemaking, entitled Oil and Gas and Sulfur Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf—Revisions to the Requirements for Exploratory Drilling on the Arctic Outer Continental Shelf. BOEM’s information collection activities related to this rulemaking for 30 CFR 550, Subpart B, have been approved under OMB control number 1010-0151 (expiration June 30, 2021). BOEM is submitting this information collection clearance package to request OMB’s approval for revision of information collections activities for OMB control number 1010-0151 once the final rule is published. The purpose of the new rulemaking is to revise its existing regulations for exploratory drilling and related operations on the Arctic OCS, to reduce unnecessary burdens on stakeholders while ensuring that energy exploration on the Arctic OCS is safe and environmentally responsible.

If this rule becomes final and effective, annual burden hours for OMB control number 1010-0151 would decrease by 2,830 hours. BOEM is adjusting the annual burden hours for removal of most of the IOP requirements (under 30 CFR 550.204) and for new and revised provisions (under 30 CFR 550.202, 210-211, 550.220, 550.224, 550.227, and 550.291-292). BOEM proposes to remove the IOP regulations by deleting 30 CFR 550.204 and removing the corresponding references to the IOP from 30 CFR 550.200 and 550.206. BOEM’s existing requirement to submit the IOP at least 90 days before the lessee or operator files an EP would be eliminated. The data and information requested in the IOP is largely unnecessary in light of the information already collected in the EP. The current approval for OMB control number 1010-0151 counts the similar burdens found in IOPs and EPs in both. Therefore, BOEM would remove the burdens attributed to the IOPs, and keep the burdens attributed to EPs. Removing the IOP provision would decrease the annual burden hours by 1 response and 2,880 hours. (- 1 response and 2,880 annual burden hours). The proposed rule would add a requirement to 30 CFR 550.211(b) designed to describe operational safety procedures that the operator has developed specific to conditions relevant on the Arctic OCS in the EP. These requirements were previously included in the IOP requirements that are removed from this rulemaking. Retaining this provision would lessen the 2,880 hour burden decrease by 50 annual burden hours (i.e., by retaining 50 annual burden hours).
