Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: (a) The current OMB inventory for this collection is 87,628 burden hours. In this submission, we are requesting a total of 160,842 burden hours. This represents an adjustment increase of 69,166 burden hours. The adjustment increase is due to relocating hour burdens from multiple separate subparts (ICRs) throughout 30 CFR 250 created from the original BOP rule (1014-AA11). This also represents a program increase of 4,048 burden hours due to this final rulemaking, 1014-AA39, Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control Revisions. (b) The OMB non-hour cost burden is an adjustment increase of $102,500 and also comes from multiple subparts throughout 30 CFR 250 that were approved in other ICRs. In this submission, we are requesting a total of $867,500. This represents a program increase of $765,000 for Independent Third Party costs being added due to this final rulemaking, 1014-AA39, Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control Revisions.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $10,133,088
