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: Lessees and pipeline ROW
holders design the pipelines that they
install, maintain, and operate. To ensure
those activities are performed in a safe
manner, BSEE needs information
concerning the proposed pipeline and
safety equipment, inspections and tests,
and natural and manmade hazards near
the proposed pipeline route. BSEE uses
the information to review pipeline

designs prior to approving an
application for an ROW or lease term
pipeline to ensure that the pipeline, as
constructed, will provide for safe
transportation of minerals through the
submerged lands of the OCS. BSEE
reviews proposed pipeline routes to
ensure that the pipelines would not
conflict with any State requirements or
unduly interfere with other OCS
activities. BSEE reviews proposals for
taking pipeline safety equipment out of
service to ensure alternate measures are
used that will properly provide for the
safety of the pipeline and associated
facilities (platform, etc.). BSEE reviews
notifications of relinquishment of ROW
grants and requests to decommission
pipelines for regulatory compliance and
to ensure that all legal obligations are
met. BSEE monitors the records
concerning pipeline inspections and
tests to ensure safety of operations and
protection of the environment and to
schedule witnessing trips and
inspections. Information is also
necessary to determine the point at
which DOI or Department of
Transportation (DOT) has regulatory
responsibility for a pipeline and to be
informed of the identified operator if
not the same as the pipeline ROW
holder.
BSEE–0149—Assignment of Federal
OCS Pipeline Right-of-Way Grant
BSEE uses the information to track the
holder-ship of pipeline ROWs; as well
as use this information to update the
corporate database that is used to
determine what leases are available for
a Lease Sale and the ownership of all
OCS leases.
The form asks the pipeline ROW
holder to provide:
—Part A—Assignment
—the legal description of the pipeline
ROW grant being assigned,
—what specifically the pipeline ROW
holder is selling, assigning, or
transferring,

each assignor and assignee,
—the percentage interest conveyed, and
—the percentage interest received.
—Part B—Certification and Acceptance
—assignor(s) signature, name, title, and
date, and
—assignee(s) signature, name, title, and
date.
If we approve the assignment, the
authorized BSEE official signs and dates
the form, and the assignment becomes
effective on the date specified by us.
Form BSEE–0135—Designation of
Right-of-Way Operator
BSEE uses the information to identify
who has the authority to act on the
