Individuals outside the United States
should use the relay services offered
within their country to make
international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States. You may

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general
public and other Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on March
29, 2022 [87 FR 18036]. No comments

comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your

Abstract: The regulations at 30 CFR
250, subpart L, Oil and Gas Production
Measurement, Surface Commingling,
and Security, 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. BSEE uses the information
collected under subpart L to ensure that
the volumes of hydrocarbons produced
are measured accurately, and royalties
are paid on the proper volumes.
Specifically, BSEE needs the
information to:
Liquid Hydrocarbon Measurement
• Determine if measurement
equipment is properly installed,
provides accurate measurement of
production on which royalty is due, and
is operating properly;
• Ascertain if all removals of oil and
condensate from the lease are reported;
• Obtain rates of production
measured at royalty meters, which can
be examined during field inspections;
Gas Measurement
• Ensure that the sales location is
secure and production cannot be
removed without the volumes being
recorded;
Surface Commingling
• Review gas volume statements and
compare them with the Oil and Gas
Operations Reports to verify accuracy.
Miscellaneous & Recordkeeping
• Review proving reports to verify
that data on run tickets are calculated
and reported accurately.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR 250,
Subpart L, Oil and Gas Production
Measurement Surface Commingling,

Abstract: This authority and
responsibility are among those
delegated to BSEE. The regulations at 30
CFR 250, subpart F, Oil and Gas WellWorkover Operations are the subject of
this collection. This request also covers
any related Notices to Lessees and
Operators (NTLs) that BSEE issues to
clarify, supplement, or provide
additional guidance on some aspects of
our regulations. BSEE uses the
information collected (see A.12 for the
actual information collected by BSEE) to
analyze and evaluate planned wellworkover operations to ensure that these
operations result in personnel safety
and protection of the environment.
BSEE will use this evaluation in making
decisions to approve, disapprove, or to
require modification to the proposed
well-workover operations. Specifically,
BSEE uses the information collected to:
• review log entries of crew meetings
to verify that safety procedures have
been properly reviewed.
• review well-workover procedures
relating to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to
ensure the safety of the crew in the
event of encountering H2S.
• review well-workover diagrams and
procedures to ensure the safety of wellworkover operations.
• verify that the crown block safety
device is operating and can be expected
to function and avoid accidents.
• verify that the BOPE is in
compliance with the latest WCR and
API Standard 53.
• assure that the well-workover
operations are conducted on well casing
that is structurally competent.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR 250,
Subpart F, Oil and Gas Well-Workover
Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0001.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
