The Bureau of Safety and Environmental
Enforcement (BSEE) proposes to amend the regulations regarding oil
and natural gas production to address certain overly burdensome
requirements. BSEE has identified specific revisions that would
reduce the burden oil and natural gas operators on the outer
continental shelf (OCS), without reducing safety or protection of
the environment.

Current subpart H regulations
have 95,488 hours approved. This ICR requests a total of 91,250
burden hours; resulting in an adjustment decrease of -4,238 hours.
The adjustment decrease is a result of hourly input we received
from Industry Outreach. All the different reporting and
recordkeeping requirements that are listed in the Subpart H burden
table (Section A.12) were thoroughly reviewed by the company
representatives listed in A.8. All changes to burden hours are
shown in bold in A.12 The current OMB approved non-hour cost burden
for subpart H is $10,547,442. In this submission, we are requesting
$11,455,906; resulting in an adjustment increase of $908,464. This
increase is a result of input we received from Industry Outreach,
including all the Professional Engineering costs in § 250.842 have
gone up. All the different reporting and recordkeeping requirements
that are listed in the Subpart H burden table (Section A.12) were
thoroughly reviewed by the company representatives listed in A.8.
