SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, BOEM provides
the general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps BOEM assess
the impact of its information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand BOEM’s information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
BOEM published a Federal Register
notice with a 60-day public comment
period on the proposed ICR on May 15,
2026 (91 FR 27981). Five sets of
comments were received: three from oil
and gas industry stakeholders, one from
insurance associations, and one from
the general public. Stakeholders broadly
support BOEM’s proposed revisions,
emphasizing improved clarity, reduced
ambiguity, and the necessity for
restoring stability in the OSFR
insurance market. Commenters agree
that clarifying coverage triggers aligns
with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. The
revised forms are expected to increase
insurer participation, expand coverage,
reduce premiums, and decrease
administrative disputes. Commenters
support BOEM’s burden hour estimates
and recommend electronic submission
for efficiency. No comments alter the
purpose, need, cost, or hour burden of
the ICR.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, BOEM is again soliciting
comments on the proposed ICR. BOEM
is especially interested in public
comments addressing the following
issues:
(1) Is the collection necessary to the
proper functions of BOEM?
(2) What can BOEM do to ensure that
this information is processed and used
in a timely manner?
(3) Is the burden estimate accurate?
(4) How might BOEM enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected?
(5) How might BOEM minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including minimizing the
burden through the use of information
technology?
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record and will be available for
public review on www.reginfo.gov.
BOEM will include or summarize each
comment in its ICR to OMB for approval
of this information collection.
You should be aware that your entire
comment—including your address,
phone number, email address, or other

personally identifiable information
included in your comment—may be
made publicly available at any time.
Even if BOEM withholds your
personally identifiable information in
the context of this ICR, your comment
is subject to the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552). Your
information will only be withheld if a
determination is made that one of the
FOIA exemptions to disclosure applies.
Such a determination will be made in
accordance with the Department of the
Interior’s (DOI) FOIA implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2) and
applicable law.
For BOEM to consider withholding
from disclosure your personally
identifiable information, you must
identify, in a cover letter, any
information contained in the submittal
of your comments that, if released,
would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of your personal privacy. You
must also briefly describe any possible
harmful consequences of the disclosure
of information, such as embarrassment,
injury, or other harm. BOEM will make
available for public inspection, in their
entirety, all comments submitted by
organizations and businesses, or by
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives of organizations or
businesses.
BOEM protects proprietary
information in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552), DOI’s implementing regulations
(43 CFR part 2), and 30 CFR part 581.7,
promulgated pursuant to the OCSLA (43
U.S.C. 1352(c)).
Title of Collection: ‘‘30 CFR part 553,
Oil Spill Financial Responsibility for
Offshore Facilities.’’
Abstract: Title I of the Oil Pollution
Act of 1990 (OPA) (33 U.S.C. 2701 et
seq.) provides at section 1016 that oil
spill financial responsibility (OSFR) for
offshore facilities be established and
maintained according to methods
determined acceptable to the President.
Section 1016 of the OPA, as amended,
supersedes the offshore facility oil spill
financial responsibility provisions of the
OCS Lands Act. These authorities and
responsibilities are among those
delegated to BOEM under which BOEM
issues regulations governing oil and gas
and sulfur operations in the OCS.
This information collection request
addresses the regulations at 30 CFR part
553, Oil Spill Financial Responsibility
for Offshore Facilities. BOEM collects
the information to ensure proper and
efficient administration of its oil spill
financial responsibility requirements.
BOEM collects this information to:
• Provide a standard method for
establishing whether a party is required

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 271001

to demonstrate oil spill financial
responsibility for offshore facilities;
• Identify and maintain a record of
those offshore facilities that have a
potential oil spill liability requiring the
demonstration of oil spill financial
responsibility;
• Establish and maintain a
continuous record of evidence of oil
spill financial responsibility to assure
payment of claims for oil spill cleanup
and damages resulting from operations
conducted on covered offshore facilities
and from the transportation of oil from
covered offshore facilities;
• Establish and maintain a
continuous record of responsible
parties, as defined in Title I of the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990, and their agents
or authorized representatives for oil
spill financial responsibility for covered
offshore facilities; and
• Establish and maintain a
continuous record of persons to contact
and U.S. agents for service of process for
claims associated with oil spills from
covered offshore facilities.
BOEM uses the information collected
under 30 CFR part 553 to verify
compliance with section 1016 of OPA.
This information is necessary to confirm
that designated applicants can cover
cleanup costs and damages resulting
from hydrocarbon discharges originating
from offshore facilities. BOEM uses
these forms to ensure the effective and
efficient administration of oil spill
financial responsibility requirements.
BOEM is revising Forms BOEM–1019
(Insurance Certificate), BOEM–1020
(Surety Bond), and BOEM–1023
(Financial Guarantee) to reflect updated
requirements for oil spill financial
responsibility, expressly tying the
applicable coverage period to when an
incident begins. The revisions align the
forms with BOEM’s updated policy that
OSFR coverage going forward will be
applicable only in relation to each
incident first occurring on or after the
effective date of the applicable OSFR
instrument and on or before its
termination. These changes do not
apply retroactively to OSFR providers
on earlier iterations of the forms.

Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Designated applicants and holders of
leases, permits, right-of-way grants, and
right-of-use and easement grants on the
OCS and in State coastal waters who are
responsible parties. Other respondents
may be designated applicants and
brokers, bonding companies, and
guarantors. Some respondents may also
be claimants.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 2,223 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 28,245 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
or annual.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour
Cost Burden: None.
The current annual burden for this
collection is 34,695 hours. BOEM
proposes reducing the burden to 28,245
hours due to faster OSFR demonstration
methods, such as increased use of selfinsurance and financial guarantees, and
a decrease in the number of companies
maintaining OSFR coverage.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
