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 July 13,
2023 (88 FR 44834). No comments were
received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
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
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: BSEE will use the
information to oversee facility design,

fabrication, installation, and safety
management systems; ensure the safety
of operations, including inspection
programs and incident reporting and
investigations; enforce compliance with
all applicable safety, environmental,
and other laws and regulations through
enforcement actions (such as
noncompliance notices, cessation
orders, and certain lease suspensions);
and oversee decommissioning activities.
These responsibilities include
enforcement provisions under the
existing part 285 subpart D, various
information submittal requirements
under subpart F, as well as provisions
governing activities conducted under an
approved plan, including the design,
construction, operation, and
decommissioning of facilities under
subparts G, H, and I. The requirements
for and standards of review regarding
the Facility Design Report (FDR) and
Facility Fabrication and Installation
Report (FIR) are unchanged: the FDR
and FIR will continue to be evaluated
for consistency with the Construction
and Operations Plan (COP) and
applicable engineering standards.
Decommissioning requirements related
to rights-of-use and easement for
alternate uses of existing OCS facilities
(Alternate Use RUE) have also been
transferred from the existing subpart J to
part 285.
BSEE assumes the responsibility for
ordering a lease or grant suspension
when continued activities pose an
imminent threat of serious or irreparable
harm or damage to natural resources,
life, property, the marine coastal, or
human environment, or sites, structures,
or objects of historical or archaeological
significance. BSEE may also order a
suspension when necessary to comply
with a judicial decree. Under the rule,
BSEE also assumes authority to issue
cessation orders to address
noncompliance on the part of the
grantee or lessee.
The Department does not issue
Suspensions for Alternate Use RUEs
upon the grantee’s request, but only by
order. BOEM will retain authority to
order suspensions required for National
security, and BSEE will assume
authority to order suspensions to
address a threat of harm from continued
operations. Either bureau may order a
suspension when necessary to comply
with a judicial decree. BSEE will order
suspensions when operations are halted
on the existing facility and BSEE
determines continuation of the alternate
use is unsafe or causes undue
interference with the facility.
Part 285 subpart D, Lease and Grant
Administration, includes the authority
to issue notices of noncompliance

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 27, 2023 / Notices

(NONCs) and cessation orders, and to
pursue civil penalties and recommend
criminal penalties. BSEE assumes
authority for oversight and enforcement
of the design, construction, operation,
and decommissioning phases of offshore
wind development, as well as
enforcement of requirements related to
Alternate Use RUEs.
This ICR includes a new form:
Form BSEE–1835, Notification of
Noncompliance (NONC).
BSEE will use the information to
determine that respondents have
corrected all Notifications of
Noncompliance (NONCs) identified
during inspections. Everything on the
NONC form is filled out by a BSEE
inspector/representative. The only thing
industry does with this form is sign the
document upon receipt and respond to
BSEE when each NONC has been
corrected. Dependent on the severity of
the non-compliance identified by the
BSEE inspector, the responses are
assigned different intervals and are
described in the form table titled
Enforcement Timeline:

1—At Time of Inspection
14—Within 14 Days
30—Within 30 Days
50—Prior to Returning to Service/
Operation
60—Prior to Next Scheduled
Maintenance
70—During Next Scheduled
Maintenance
80—Prior to Next scheduled Audit
90—During Next Scheduled Audit.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 285,
Renewable Energy and Alternate Uses of
Existing Facilities on the Outer
Continental Shelf.
OMB Control Number: 1014–0034.
Form Number: Form BSEE–1835,
Notice(s) of Noncompliance.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Primary
respondents comprise Federal OCS
companies that submit unsolicited
proposals or responses to Federal
Register notices; or are lessees,
designated operators, and ROW or RUE
grant holders. Other potential
respondents are companies or state and

local governments that submit
information or comments relative to
alternative energy-related uses of the
OCS; certified verification agents
(CVAs); and surety or third-party
guarantors.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: Currently there are
approximately 47 Lessees in the OCS.
Not all the potential respondents will
submit information in any given year,
and some may submit multiple times.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 103.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Varies from 30 minutes to
6,000 hours, depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 8,908
Respondent’s Obligation: Responses
are mandatory and are required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: generally
occasional or annual.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $1,908,000.
