SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: 30 CFR 254, Oil-Spill Response Requirements for Facilities 
Located Seaward of the Coast Line.
    OMB Control Number: 1014-0007.
    Abstract: Section 2(b)(3) of E.O. 12777 delegated to the Secretary 
of the Interior (Secretary) those responsibilities under section 
311(j)(1)(C) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) 
(October 18, 1991; 56 FR 54757), requiring the Secretary to establish 
procedures, methods, and requirements for equipment to prevent and 
contain discharges of oil and hazardous substances from offshore 
facilities, including associated pipelines. Under section 2(d)(3) of 
E.O. 12777, section 311(j)(5) of FWPCA, and section 4202(b)(4) of OPA, 
the Secretary is required to issue regulations requiring the owners or 
operators of offshore facilities, including associated pipelines, to 
prepare and submit response plans that ensure the availability of 
private spill-response personnel and equipment and to permit the 
operation of offshore facilities, including associated pipelines, 
without approved response plans if certain conditions are met. Under 
section 2(e)(3) of E.O. 12777 and section 311(j)(6)(A) of FWPCA, the 
Secretary must require periodic inspections of containment booms and 
equipment used to remove discharges at offshore facilities, including 
associated pipelines. The Secretary has redelegated these 
responsibilities to the Director, BSEE.
    The FWPCA, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), 
requires that a spill-response plan be submitted for offshore 
facilities prior to February 18, 1993. The OPA specifies that after 
that date, an offshore facility may not handle, store, or transport oil 
unless a plan has been submitted. Regulations at 30 CFR 254 establish 
requirements for spill-response plans for oil-handling facilities 
seaward of the coast line, including associated pipelines.
    In addition, BSEE also issues various Notices to Lessees (NTLs) and 
Operators to clarify and provide additional guidance on some aspects of 
the regulations, as well as forms to capture the data and information.
    Regulations implementing these responsibilities are among those 
delegated to BSEE. Responses are mandatory or are required to obtain or 
retain a benefit. No questions of a sensitive nature are asked. BSEE 
protects information considered proprietary under the Freedom of 
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and DOI's implementing regulations (43 
CFR 2), and under regulations at 30 CFR part 250.197, Data and 
information to be made available to the public or for limited 
inspection, 30 CFR part 252, OCS Oil and Gas Information Program.
    BSEE uses the information collected under 30 CFR 254 to determine 
compliance with OPA by lessees/operators. Specifically, BSEE needs the 
information to:
     Determine that lessees/operators have an adequate plan and 
are sufficiently prepared to implement a quick and effective response 
to a discharge of oil from their facilities or operations.
     Review plans prepared under the regulations of a State and 
submitted to BSEE to satisfy the requirements in 30 CFR 254 to ensure 
that they meet minimum requirements of OPA.
     Verify that personnel involved in oil-spill response are 
properly trained and familiar with the requirements of the spill-
response plans and to lead and witness spill-response exercises.
     Assess the sufficiency and availability of contractor 
equipment and materials.
     Verify that sufficient quantities of equipment are 
available and in working order.

[[Page 51839]]

     Oversee spill-response efforts and maintain official 
records of pollution events.
     Assess the efforts of lessees/operators to prevent oil 
spills or prevent substantial threats of such discharges.
    Frequency: On occasion, monthly, annually, biennially and as 
required by regulations.
    Description of Respondents: Potential respondents comprise OCS 
Federal oil, gas, or sulphur lessees and/or operators.
    Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The estimated 
annual hour burden for this information collection is a total of 74,461 
hours. The following chart details the individual components and 
estimated hour burdens. 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 
not identified any 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: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et 
seq.,) 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.
    To comply with the public consultation process, on May 29, 2015, we 
published a Federal Register notice (80 FR 30724) announcing that we 
would submit this ICR to OMB for approval. The notice provided the 
required 60-day comment period. In addition, Sec.  254.9 provides the 
OMB Control Number for the information collection requirements imposed 
by these regulations. The regulation also informs the public that they 
may comment at any time on the collections of information and provides 
the address to which they should send comments. We received two 
comments in response to the Federal Register notice: One from the 
Marine Mammal Commission in support of the Bureau's request and one 
comment from a private citizen that was not germane to the PRA.
    Public Availability of Comments: 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.

    Dated: August 7, 2015.

Deputy Chief, Office of Offshore Regulatory Programs.
