Abstract: The regulations at 30 CFR
250, subpart P, concern sulfur
operations on the OCS and 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. Currently, there are no
active sulfur lease operations on the
OCS. Therefore, this ICR and its relevant
hours represent one potential
respondent.

BSEE uses the information collected
under subpart P to:
• ascertain that a discovered sulfur
deposit can be classified as capable of
production in paying quantities.
• ensure accurate and complete
measurement of production to
determine the amount of sulfur royalty
payments due the United States; and
that the sale locations are secure,
production has been measured
accurately, and appropriate follow-up
actions are initiated.
• ensure the adequacy and safety of
firefighting systems; the drilling unit is
fit for the intended purpose; and the
adequacy of casing for anticipated
conditions.
• review drilling, well-completion,
well-workover diagrams and
procedures, as well as production
operation procedures to ensure the
safety of the proposed sulfur drilling,
well-completion, well-workover and
proposed production operations.
• monitor environmental data during
sulfur operations in offshore areas
where such data are not already
available to provide a valuable source of
information to evaluate the performance
of drilling rigs under various weather
and ocean conditions. This information
is necessary to make reasonable
determinations regarding safety of
operations and environmental
protection.

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,
and Security.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0002.
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 550 Federal OCS oil, gas,
and sulfur lessees and holders of
pipeline rights-of-way. Not all the
potential respondents will submit
