Abstract:
Subpart S requirements require the operator (et al) to integrate a comprehensive SEMS program into the management of their OCS operations, providing for the prevention of waste and conservation of natural resources on the OCS. These regulations hold the operator accountable for the overall safety of the offshore facility; ensuring all contractors and subcontractors have safety policies/procedures in place that support the implementation of the operator's SEMS program and align with the principles of managing safety as in API RP 75 as well as other specific standards.

Short Statement:
(a) The current OMB inventory for this collection includes 651,728 burden hours. In this submission, we are requesting a total of 2,238,164 hours. This represents an adjustment increase of 1,586,436 hours. This adjustment increase is a result of industry, the respondents listed in A.8, supplying us with more accurate information of how long it takes to accomplish each regulatory requirement since they have gone through an audit cycle. (b) The current OMB non-hour cost burden inventory is $9,444,000. In this submission, we are requesting a total of $5,220,000. This represents an adjustment decrease of $4,224,000. The decrease is due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses times its associated non-hour cost burden.
