SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart A,
‘‘General’’.
Form(s): MMS–132, MMS–1123, and
MMS–1832.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0114.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to prescribe rules and regulations to
administer leasing of the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease.
Operations on the OCS must preserve,
protect, and develop oil and natural gas
resources in a manner that is consistent
with the need to make such resources
available to meet the Nation’s energy
needs as rapidly as possible; to balance
orderly energy resource development
with protection of human, marine, and
coastal environments; to ensure the
public a fair and equitable return on the
resources of the OCS; and to preserve
and maintain free enterprise
competition. Section 1332(6) states that
‘‘operations in the [O]uter Continental
Shelf should be conducted in a safe
manner by well trained personnel using
technology, precautions, and other
techniques sufficient to prevent or
minimize the likelihood of blowouts,
loss of well control, fires, spillages,
physical obstructions to other users of
the waters or subsoil and seabed, or
other occurrences which may cause
damage to the environment or to
property or endanger life or health.’’
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A–25, authorize
Federal agencies to recover the full cost
of services that confer special benefits.
Under the Department of the Interior’s
(DOI) implementing policy, the
Minerals Management Service (MMS) is
required to charge fees for services that
provide special benefits or privileges to
an identifiable non-Federal recipient

above and beyond those which accrue to
the public at large.
This information collection (IC)
request covers 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart
A, General. This request also covers the
related Notices to Lessees and Operators
(NTLs) that MMS issues to clarify and
provide additional guidance on some
aspects of our regulations.
Requests for MMS approval may
contain proprietary information related
to performance standards or alternative
approaches to conducting operations
different from those approved and
specified in MMS regulations. We will
protect this proprietary information
according to the Freedom of Information
Act, 30 CFR Part 252, and 30 CFR
250.197, ‘‘Data and information to be
made available to the public.’’ No items
of a sensitive nature are collected.
Responses are mandatory.
The MMS uses the information
collected under the Subpart A
regulations to ensure that operations on
the OCS are carried out in a safe and
pollution-free manner, do not interfere
with the rights of other users on the
OCS, and balance the protection and
development of OCS resources.
Specifically, we use the information
collected to:
• Review records of formal crane
operator training, rigger training, crane
operator qualifications, crane
inspections, testing, and maintenance to
ensure that lessees perform operations
in a safe and workmanlike manner and
that equipment is maintained in a safe
condition. The MMS also uses the
information to make certain that all new
and existing cranes installed on OCS
fixed platforms must be equipped with
anti-two block safety devices, and to
assure that uniform methods are
employed by lessees for load testing of
cranes.
• Review welding, burning, and hot
tapping plans, procedures, and records
to ensure that these activities are
conducted in a safe and workmanlike
manner by trained and experienced
personnel.
• Provide lessees greater flexibility to
comply with regulatory requirements
through approval of alternative
equipment or procedures and
departures to regulations if they
demonstrate equal or better compliance
with the appropriate performance
standards.
• Determine the capability of a well
to produce oil or gas in paying
quantities or to determine the possible
need for additional wells resulting in
minimum royalty status on a lease. If a
well does not yield hydrocarbons in
sufficient quantity to warrant continued
operation and production, MMS uses

VerDate Aug<31>2005

21:31 Dec 12, 2006

Jkt 211001

the information to verify the claim and
to release the lessee from lease
obligations. Conversely, the information
is used to extend the term of the lease
if additional wells will warrant
continued operation and production.
• Ensure that injection of gas
promotes conservation of natural
resources, prevents waste, and that
subsurface storage of natural gas does
not unduly interfere with development
and production operations under
existing leases.
• Ensure the appropriateness of
reimbursing lessees for costs incurred in
reproducing geological and geophysical
(G&G) data and information for
submission to MMS and processing or
reprocessing G&G information in a form
and manner other than that normally
used in the conduct of a lessee’s
business, or to determine the proper
reimbursement of costs incurred during
inspections.
• Record the designation of an
operator authorized to act on behalf of
the lessee and to fulfill the lessee’s
obligations under the OCS Lands Act
and implementing regulations, or to
record the local agent empowered to
receive notices and comply with
regulatory orders issued (Form MMS–
1123).
• Determine if an application for
right-of-use and easement serves the
purpose specified in the grant when
conducting exploration, development,
and production activities or other
operations on or off the lease; is
maintained for such purposes; and does
not unreasonably interfere with the
operations of any other lessee.
• Provide for orderly development of
leases through the use of information to
determine the appropriateness of lessee
requests for suspension of operations,
including production. For example,
MMS needs the information to
determine that a suspension is
necessary to: (1) Ensure proper lease
development, (2) allow time to construct
or negotiate use of transportation
facilities, (3) allow reasonable time to
enter into a sales contract, (4) allow for
unavoidable situations, (5) avoid
continued operations resulting in
premature abandonment of a producing
well(s) that would be uneconomic, (6)
comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act or to conduct
an environmental analysis, (7) install
equipment for safety and environmental
protection, (8) allow time for inordinate
delays encountered in obtaining
required permits or consents, (9) comply
with judicial decrees, or (10) avoid
activities that pose a threat of serious,
irreparable, or immediate harm.

• Improve safety and environmental
protection on the OCS through
collection and analysis of accident
reports to ascertain the cause of the
accidents and to determine ways to
prevent recurrences.
• Ascertain when the lease ceases
production or when the last well ceases
production in order to determine the
180th day after the date of completion
of the last production. This requirement
is expanded in the final rule to include
reporting when lease production is
initiated, resumes before the end of the
180-day period after production ceased,
and when leaseholding operations occur
during the referenced 180-day interval.
The MMS will use this information to
efficiently maintain the lessee/operator
lease status.
• Approve requests to cancel leases.
• Be informed when there could be a
major disruption in the availability and
supply of natural gas and oil due to
natural occurrences/hurricanes, to
advise the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) in
case of the need to rescue offshore
workers in distress, to monitor damage
to offshore platforms and drilling rigs,
and to advise the news media and
interested public entities when
production is shut in and when
resumed. The OCS operations produce
more than one-quarter of the Nation’s
natural gas and more than one-sixth of
its oil, and it is essential to know when
production is interrupted. The Gulf of
Mexico Region (GOMR) uses a reporting
form for respondents to report
evacuation statistics when necessary
(Form MMS–132, Evacuation Statistics).
It is sent to respondents at the onset of
each ‘‘hurricane season’’ in the GOMR.
• Allow operators who exhibit
unacceptable performance an
incremental approach to improving
their overall performance prior to a final
decision to disqualify an operator or to
pursue debarment proceedings through
the execution of a performance
improvement plan (PIP). The Subpart A
regulations do not address the actual
process that we will follow in pursuing
the disqualification of operators under
§§ 250.135 and 250.136. However, our
internal enforcement procedures
include allowing such operators to
demonstrate a commitment to
acceptable performance by the
submission of a PIP.
• Determine that respondents have
corrected all Incidents of NonCompliance (INC)(s) identified during
inspections (Form MMS–1832). The
MMS issues this form to the operator.
The operator then corrects the INC(s)
and returns the form to the MMS
Regional Supervisor no later than 14
days.

Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have identified three nonhour cost burdens. Section 250.143
requires a fee for a change in
designation of operator. Section 250.165
requires a State lessee applying for a
right-of-use and easement on the OCS to
pay a cost recovery application fee. This
cost is the same as the fee for a pipeline
right-of-way grant specified in 30 CFR
250.1015 and is subject to change based
on that regulation. We estimate
receiving only one State lease
application per year. Section 250.171
requests a fee for either a Suspension of
Operations or Production Request
(SOO/SOP). We have not identified any
other ‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens
associated with this collection of
information.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control

number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: Before submitting an ICR
to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
requires each agency ‘‘ o=* * * to
provide notice o=* * * and otherwise
consult with members of the public and
affected agencies concerning each
proposed collection of information
o=* * *’’. Agencies must specifically
solicit comments to: (a) Evaluate
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the agency
to perform its duties, including whether
the information is useful; (b) evaluate
the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of
the burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Agencies must also estimate the ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burdens to respondents or
recordkeepers resulting from the
collection of information. Therefore, if
you have costs to generate, maintain,
and disclose this information, you
should comment and provide your total
capital and startup cost components or
annual operation, maintenance, and
purchase of service components. You
should describe the methods you use to
estimate major cost factors, including
system and technology acquisition,
expected useful life of capital
equipment, discount rate(s), and the
period over which you incur costs.
Capital and startup costs include,
among other items, computers and
software you purchase to prepare for
collecting information, monitoring, and
record storage facilities. You should not
include estimates for equipment or
services purchased: (i) Before October 1,
1995; (ii) to comply with requirements
not associated with the information
collection; (iii) for reasons other than to

provide information or keep records for
the Government; or (iv) as part of
customary and usual business or private
practices.
We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
submission for OMB approval. As a
result of your comments, we will make
any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.
Public Comment Procedures: The
MMS’s practice is to make comments,
including names and addresses of
respondents, available for public
review. If you wish your name and/or
address to be withheld, you must state
this prominently at the beginning of
your comment. The MMS will honor
this request to the extent allowable by
law; however, anonymous comments
will not be considered. There may be
circumstances in which we would
withhold from the record a respondent’s
identity, as allowable by the law. If you
wish us to withhold your name and/or
address, you must state this
prominently at the beginning of your
comment. In addition, you must present
a rationale for withholding this
information. This rationale must
demonstrate that disclosure ‘‘would
constitute an unwarranted invasion of
privacy.’’ Unsupported assertions will
not meet this burden. In the absence of
exceptional, documentable
circumstances, this information will be
released. All submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, will be
made available for public inspection in
their entirety.
