SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Global Positioning Systems (GPS) for Mobile Offshore
Drilling Units (MODUs) NTL.
OMB Control Number: 1014-0013.
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 necessary
for the administration of the leasing provisions of that Act related to
mineral resources on the OCS. Such rules and regulations will apply to
all operations conducted under a lease, right-of-way, or a right-of-use
and easement. 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; to
preserve and maintain free enterprise competition; and to ensure that
the extent of oil and natural gas resources of the OCS is assessed at
the earliest practicable time. Section 43 U.S.C. 1332(6) states that
``operations in the outer Continental Shelf should be conducted in a
safe manner by well-trained personnel using technology, precautions,
and techniques sufficient to prevent or minimize the likelihood of
blowouts, loss of well control, fires, spillages, physical obstruction
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.''
To carry out these responsibilities, the Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) issues regulations to ensure that
operations in the OCS will meet statutory requirements; provide for
safety and protect the environment; and result in diligent exploration,
development, and production of OCS leases. In addition, we also issue
Notice to Lessees (NTLs) that provide clarification, explanation, and
interpretation of our regulations. These NTLs are used to convey purely
informational material and to cover situations that might not be
adequately addressed in our regulations.
The subject of this information collection (IC) request is an NTL,
GPS (Global Positioning System) for MODUs (Mobile Offshore Drilling
Units). This NTL requires MODUs to be equipped with multiple tracking/
location devices so that during a storm event (hurricane) the
respondent, as well as BSEE, will have the capability to monitor their
locations. This NTL also provides BSEE GPS data access thereby granting
BSEE real-time location information as needed for the Hurricane
Response Team (HRT).
The primary regulation for this IC is 30 CFR 250, Subpart A,
approved under the OMB Control Number 1014-0013. However, in connection
with this subpart, the burden requirements in the NTL are in addition
to the currently approved paperwork burdens under those requirements.
After Hurricane Ike, 2008, due to the loss of an ENSCO MODU, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and US Army Corps of
Engineers conducted numerous side-sonar searches for dangerous
submerged debris in several places in and around the Gulf of Mexico
waters, including off the Louisiana coast, the Houston Ship Channel,
and the Galveston areas. These searches continued for numerous days,
with multiple government agencies, and covered well over 75 square
statute miles. Nothing was found.
On March 6, 2009, the SKS Satilla, a 900-ft Norwegian flagged tank
ship carrying approximately 130K MT of crude oil, reported listing 8
degrees and taking on water about 65-miles offshore of Galveston, TX.
It was determined that the SKS Satilla had hit the sunken MODU that was
submerged approximately 24 feet below the surface of the water, that
had been missing since Hurricane Ike. The MODU was displaced off the
coast of Louisiana during Hurricane Ike and ended up off the coast of
Galveston, roughly 105 miles away.
The information to be collected is necessary for BSEE to assess the
whereabouts of any MODU becoming unmoored due to extreme weather
situations; as well as, to follow the path of that facility to
determine if other facilities/pipelines, etc., were damaged in any way.
The offshore oil and gas industry will use the information to determine
the safest and quickest way to either remove the obstacles or to fix
and reuse them.
No questions of a sensitive nature are asked. We protect
proprietary information according to the Freedom of Information Act (5
U.S.C. 552) and DOI's implementing regulations (43 CFR 2); 30 CFR
250.197, Data and information to be made available to the public or for
limited inspection; and 30 CFR part 252, OCS Oil and Gas Information
Program. Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: On occasion.
Description of Respondents: Potential respondents comprise Federal
oil, gas, or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The currently
approved annual reporting burden for this collection is 1 hour and
$102,500 non-hour cost burden. In this submission, we are requesting
the same hour and non-hour cost burdens. The following chart details
the individual components and respective hour burden estimates of this
ICR. In calculating the burdens, we assumed that respondents perform
certain requirements in the normal course of their activities. We
consider these to be usual and customary and took that into account in
estimating the burden.

Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: We have
identified three non-hour cost burdens for this collection, which are
described and shown in the table. 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 ``. . . to provide notice . . . and
otherwise consult with members of the public and affected agencies
concerning each proposed collection of information . . .''. Agencies
must specifically solicit comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the
collection is necessary or useful; (b) evaluate the accuracy 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
technology.
Agencies must also estimate the non-hour paperwork cost burdens to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting from the collection of
information. Therefore, if you have other than hour burden 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. For further
information on this burden, refer to 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(1) and (2), or
contact the Bureau representative listed previously in this notice.
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: 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.
