Abstract:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing a rule that would replace Onshore Oil and Gas Order No. 3, Site Security with new regulations that would be codified in the Code of Federal Regulations. The proposed rule, which would apply to Federal and Indian (except Osage Tribe) oil and gas leases, would respond to recommendations made by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) with respect to the BLM's production verification efforts. The goals of the proposed rule are accurate measurement of oil and gas, production accountability, payment of royalties that are due, and prevention of theft and loss.

Short Statement:
The proposed rule would result in the following program changes to 1004-0137 due to the removal of 43 CFR 3162.75, and due to the addition of new requirements. 1. The total estimated burdens would be 147,181 responses, 849,452 hours, and $53,770,312 in wage costs. 2. The proposed rule would remove 43 CFR 3162.7-5, which would result in the removal of three information collection activities from control number 1004-0137 that represent a total of 93,500 estimated responses and 95,500 burden hours. 3. The net estimated burdens for the proposed rule would be 53,681 responses and 753,952 hours. Multiplied by an estimated hourly wage cost of $63.30, the net estimated wage cost of the paperwork aspects of the proposed rule would be $47,725,162. The program changes are necessary to update production accountability, payment of royalties that are due, and prevention of theft and loss.
