DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
September 20, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments on this information collection request 
(ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget's Desk Officer for the 
Department of the Interior by email at OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov; or 
via facsimile to (202) 395-5806. Please provide a copy of your comments

Standards Branch; ATTN: Nicole Mason; 45600 Woodland Road, Sterling, VA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact 
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information 
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired 
format.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
November 16, 2017 (82 FR 53518). No comments were received.
    We are again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is 
described below. We are especially interested in public comments 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the 
proper functions of BSEE; (2) Will this information be processed and 
used in a timely manner; (3) Is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) 
How might BSEE enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) How might BSEE minimize the burden 
of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of 
information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. 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.
    Abstract: The regulations under 30 CFR 250, subpart J, pertain to 
pipelines and pipeline rights-of-way (ROWs), forms, and related Notices 
to Lessees (NTLs) and Operators.
    We use the information to ensure that lessees and pipeline ROW 
holders design the pipelines that they install, maintain, and operate 
in a safe manner. BSEE needs information concerning the proposed 
pipeline and safety equipment, inspections and tests, and natural and 
manmade hazards near the proposed pipeline route. BSEE uses the 
information to review pipeline designs prior to approving an 
application for a ROW or lease term pipeline to ensure that the 
pipeline, as constructed, will provide for safe transportation of 
minerals through the submerged lands of the OCS. BSEE reviews proposed 
pipeline routes to ensure that the pipelines would not conflict with 
any State requirements or unduly interfere with other OCS activities. 
BSEE reviews proposals for taking pipeline safety equipment out of 
service to ensure alternate measures are used that will properly 
provide for the safety of the pipeline and associated facilities 
(platform, etc.). BSEE reviews notifications of relinquishment of ROW 
grants and requests to decommission pipelines for regulatory compliance 
and to ensure that all legal obligations are

met. BSEE monitors the records concerning pipeline inspections and 
tests to ensure safety of operations and protection of the environment 
and to schedule witnessing trips and inspections. Information is also 
necessary to determine the point at which the DOI or Department of 
Transportation (DOT) has regulatory responsibility for a pipeline and 
to be informed of the identified operator if not the same as the 
pipeline ROW holder.
    We use the information in Form BSEE-0149, Assignment of Federal OCS 
Pipeline Right-of-Way Grant, to track pipeline ROW holders; as well as 
use this information to update the corporate database that is used to 
determine what leases are available for a Lease Sale and the ownership 
of all OCS leases.
    We are adding a new Form BSEE-0135, Designation of Right-of-Way 
Operator, to identify who has the authority to act on the ROW grant 
holder's behalf to fulfill obligations under the OCS Lands Act; as well 
as, BSEE may provide to the designated ROW operator written or oral 
instructions in securing compliance with the ROW grant in accordance 
with applicable laws and regulations.
    Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 250, subpart J, Pipelines and 
Pipeline Rights-of-Way (ROW).
    OMB Control Number: 1014-0016.

OCS oil, gas, and sulfur lessees/operators and holders of pipeline

includes seven non-hour cost burdens, all of which are the cost 
recovery fees required under 30 CFR 250, subpart J. The total of the 
non-hour cost burden (cost recovery fees) in this IC request is an 
estimated $1,379,369.
    The non-hour cost burdens required in 30 CFR 250, subpart J (and 
respective cost-recovery fee amount per transaction) are required 
under:
Sec.  250.1000(b)--New Pipeline Application (lease term)--$3,541

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).
