Abstract:
The BSEE uses the information to ensure safe drilling operations and to protect the human, marine, and coastal environment. Among other things, BSEE specifically uses the information to ensure: the drilling unit is fit for the intended purpose; the lessee or operator will not encounter geologic conditions that present a hazard to operations; equipment is maintained in a state of readiness and meets safety standards; each drilling crew is properly trained and able to promptly perform well-control activities at any time during well operations; compliance with safety standards; and the current regulations will provide for safe and proper field or reservoir development, resource evaluation, conservation, protection of correlative rights, safety, and environmental protection. We also review well records to ascertain whether drilling operations have encountered hydrocarbons or H2S and to ensure that H2S detection equipment, personnel protective equipment, and training of the crew are adequate for safe operations in zones known to contain H2S and zones where the presence of H2S is unknown.

Short Statement:
Hour Burden: The current OMB inventory includes 216,211 burden hours. In this submission, we are requesting a total of 102,512 hours. This represents a program decrease of 120,932 burden hours and an adjustment increase of 7,233 burden hours. The program decrease is as a result of removing APDs (1014-0025) and APMs (1014-0026) from this collection into their own respective collections; see NOTE on page 1. The adjustment increase is due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses and the amount of time required to respond based on consultations listed in A.8. Non-Hour Cost Burden: The current OMB inventory is $2,225,286. In this submission, we are requesting a total of $0.00, which represents a program decrease of $2,225,286. Between the 60-day FR Notice and this submission, we separated APDs and APMs, which have cost recovery fees (non-hour cost burdens), into their own respective collections (see NOTE on page 1).
