This rule is administrative in nature and reassigns current regulations governing safety and environmental oversight and enforcement from BOEM to BSEE. We have concluded that this rulemaking is neither controversial nor substantive because the significant legal rights, obligations, and interests of the regulated community will not be affected. This rule pertains to DOI management and organization through the reassignment of safety and environmental oversight and enforcement for OCS renewable energy activities from BOEM to BSEE. This rule implements Secretaryâs Order 3299, which reflects the Secretaryâs prudent and considered policy judgment that independent oversight and enforcement is in the national interest to best address the organizational concerns highlighted by the Deepwater Horizon incident. This administrative reassignment aligns organizational responsibilities for offshore renewable energy consistent with the Secretaryâs Order requiring independent safety and environmental oversight and enforcement of OCS energy activities. Specifically, this rule transfers current safety and environmental oversight and enforcement regulations of OCS renewable energy activities from 30 CFR part 585, under BOEMâs purview, to 30 CFR part 285, under BSEEâs purview.
BSEE is requesting a NEW OMB Control Number for 30 CFR Part 285. We are requesting 8,903 new IC burden hours for BSEE from currently approved burden from BOEM's 1010-0176.
