Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The current OMB approved annual hour burden is 15,524 burden hours for this collection of information. This submission requests 11,677 burden hours. The adjustment decrease of 4,366 hours is due to re-estimating the average annual responses (BSEE query’s through eWell/TIMSWeb) and the amount of time required to respond based on Industry outreach/consultation required in No. 8 of this Supporting Statement A. The program increase of 519 hours is due to BSEE publishing final rule 1014-AA32 (81 FR 80587), Decommissioning Costs for Pipelines, on November 16, 2016, to require respondents submit a summary of actual decommissioning expenditures for each activity, including pipelines. Under § 250.1704(i) and (j) – Summaries – General, we added 500 responses and 500 burden hours, and under 250.1704(i) – Request extension, we added 75 responses and 19 hours. No costs associated with these requirements. The current OMB approved annual reporting and recordkeeping non-hour cost burden is $1,686,396 for this collection of information. This submission requests $1,143,556. The adjustment decrease of $542,840 is due to re-estimating the average number of annual decommissioning applications BSEE received that have associated cost recovery fees.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $595,544
