In
accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), all information collections
require approval under the PRA. We
may not conduct, or sponsor and you
are not required to respond to a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies 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.
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. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The regulations at 30 CFR

to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that
BSEE issues to clarify, supplement, or
provide additional guidance on some
aspects of our regulations.
The BSEE uses the information to
ensure safe drilling operations and to
protect the human, marine, and coastal
environment. Among other things, BSEE
specifically uses the information to
ensure: the drilling unit is fit for the
intended purpose; the lessee or operator
will not encounter geologic conditions
that present a hazard to operations;
equipment is maintained in a state of
readiness and meets safety standards;
each drilling crew is properly trained
and able to promptly perform wellcontrol activities at any time during
well operations; compliance with safety
standards; and the current regulations
will provide for safe and proper field or
reservoir development, resource
evaluation, conservation, protection of
correlative rights, safety, and
environmental protection. We also
review well records to ascertain whether
drilling operations have encountered
hydrocarbons or H2S and to ensure that
H2S detection equipment, personnel
protective equipment, and training of
the crew are adequate for safe
operations in zones known to contain
H2S and zones where the presence of
H2S is unknown.
This ICR includes forms BSEE–0123
(APD) and BSEE–0123S (Supplemental
APD Information Sheet). The BSEE uses
the information from these forms to
determine the conditions of a drilling
site to avoid hazards inherent in drilling
operations. Specifically, we use the
information to evaluate the adequacy of
a lessee’s or operator’s plan and
equipment for drilling, sidetracking, or
deepening operations. This includes the
adequacy of the proposed casing design,
casing setting depths, drilling fluid
(mud) programs, cementing programs,
and blowout preventer (BOP) systems to
ascertain that the proposed operations
will be conducted in an operationally
safe manner that provides adequate
protection for the environment. BSEE
also reviews the information to ensure
conformance with specific provisions of
the lease. In addition, except for
proprietary data, BSEE is required by
the OCSLA to make available to the
public certain information submitted on
Forms BSEE–0123 and –0123S.
The forms use and information
consist of the following:
BSEE–0123
Heading: BSEE uses the information
to identify the type of proposed drilling
activity for which approval is requested.
Well at Total Depth/Surface:
Information utilized to identify the

Jkt 256001

location (area, block, lease, latitude and
longitude) of the proposed drilling
activity.
Significant Markers Anticipated:
Identification of significant geologic
formations, structures and/or horizons
that the lessee or operator expects to
encounter. This information, in
conjunction with seismic data, is
needed to correlate with other wells
drilled in the area to assess the risks and
hazards inherent in drilling operations.
Question/Information: The
information is used to ascertain the
adequacy of the drilling fluids (mud)
program to ensure control of the well,
the adequacy of the surface casing
compliance with EPA offshore pollutant
discharge requirements and the shut in
of adjacent wells to ensure safety while
moving a rig on and off a drilling
location, as well that the worst case
discharge scenario information reflects
the well and is updated if applicable.
This information is also provided in the
course of electronically requesting
approval of drilling operations via
eWell.
BSEE–0123S
Heading: BSEE uses this information
to identify the lease operator, rig name,
rig elevation, water depth, type well
(exploratory, development), and the
presence of H2S and other data which
is needed to assess operational risks and
safety.
Well Design Information: This
engineering data identifies casing size,
pressure rating, setting depth and
current volume, hole size, mud weight,
BOP and well bore designs, formation
and BOP test data, and other criteria.
The information is utilized by BSEE
engineers to verify operational safety
and ensure well control to prevent
blowouts and other hazards to
personnel and the environment. This
form accommodates requested data
collection for successive sections of the
borehole as drilling proceeds toward
total depth below each intermediate
casing point.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 250,
Application for Permit to Drill (APD,
Revised APD), Supplemental APD
Information Sheet, and all supporting
documentation.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0025.
Form Number: Forms BSEE–0123 and
BSEE–0123S.
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.
