SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
[[Page 44835]]
1320.8(d)(1), all information collections require approval under the
PRA. We may not conduct, or sponsor and you are not required to respond
to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies 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.
We are especially interested in public comment addressing the
following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether or not the information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection
of information, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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: BSEE will use the information to oversee facility design,
fabrication, installation, and safety management systems; ensure the
safety of operations, including inspection programs and incident
reporting and investigations; enforce compliance with all applicable
safety, environmental, and other laws and regulations through
enforcement actions (such as noncompliance notices, cessation orders,
and certain lease suspensions); and oversee decommissioning activities.
These responsibilities include enforcement provisions under the
existing part 285, subpart D, various information submittal
requirements under Subpart F, as well as provisions governing
activities conducted under an approved plan, including the design,
construction, operation, and decommissioning of facilities under
subparts G, H, and I. The requirements for and standards of review
regarding the Facility Design Report (FDR) and Facility Fabrication and
Installation Report (FIR) are unchanged: the FDR and FIR will continue
to be evaluated for consistency with the Construction and Operations
Plan (COP) and applicable engineering standards. Decommissioning
requirements related to rights-of-use and easement for alternate uses
of existing OCS facilities (Alternate Use RUE) have also been
transferred from the existing subpart J to part 285.
BSEE assumes the responsibility for ordering a lease or grant
suspension when continued activities pose an imminent threat of serious
or irreparable harm or damage to natural resources, life, property, the
marine coastal, or human environment, or sites, structures, or objects
of historical or archaeological significance. BSEE may also order a
suspension when necessary to comply with a judicial decree. Under the
rule, BSEE also assumes authority to issue cessation orders to address
noncompliance on the part of the grantee or lessee.
The Department does not issue Suspensions for Alternate Use RUEs
upon the grantee's request, but only by order. BOEM will retain
authority to order suspensions required for National security, and BSEE
will assume authority to order suspensions to address a threat of harm
from continued operations. Either bureau may order a suspension when
necessary to comply with a judicial decree. BSEE will order suspensions
when operations are halted on the existing facility and BSEE determines
continuation of the alternate use is unsafe or causes undue
interference with the facility.
Part 285, subpart D, Lease and Grant Administration, includes the
authority to issue notices of noncompliance (NONCs) and cessation
orders, and to pursue civil penalties and recommend criminal penalties.
BSEE assumes authority for oversight and enforcement of the design,
construction, operation, and decommissioning phases of offshore wind
development, as well as enforcement of requirements related to
Alternate Use RUEs.
This ICR includes a new form:
Form BSEE-1835, Notification of Noncompliance (NONC).
BSEE will use the information to determine that respondents have
corrected all Notifications of Noncompliance (NONCs) identified during
inspections. Everything on the NONC form is filled out by a BSEE
inspector/representative. The only thing industry does with this form
is sign the document upon receipt and respond to BSEE when each NONC
has been corrected. Dependent on the severity of the non-compliance
identified by the BSEE inspector, the responses are assigned different
intervals and are described in the form table titled Enforcement
Timeline:
1--At Time of Inspection
14--Within 14 Days
30--Within 30 Days
50--Prior to Returning to Service/Operation
60--Prior to Next Scheduled Maintenance
70--During Next Scheduled Maintenance
80--Prior to Next scheduled Audit
90--During Next Scheduled Audit
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 285, Renewable Energy and
Alternate Uses of Existing Facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf.
OMB Control Number: 1014-0034.
Form Number: Form BSEE-1835, Notice(s) of Noncompliance.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Primary respondents comprise Federal
OCS companies that submit unsolicited proposals or responses to Federal
Register notices; or are lessees, designated operators, and ROW or RUE
grant holders. Other potential respondents are companies or state and
local governments that submit information or comments relative to
alternative energy-related uses of the OCS; certified verification
agents (CVAs); and surety or third-party guarantors.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: Currently there are
approximately 47 Lessees in the OCS. Not all the potential respondents
will submit information in any given year, and some may submit multiple
times.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 103.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 30 minutes to
6,000 hours, depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 8,908.
[[Page 44836]]
Respondent's Obligation: Responses are mandatory and are required
to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: generally occasional or annual.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $1,908,000.
