Abstract: This information collection renewal concerns information that is submitted in response to regulatory requirements, such as the regulations at 30 CFR Part 550, subpart C, Pollution Prevention and Control that implement section 1334(a)(8). It also covers the related Notices to Lessees and Operators that BOEM issues to clarify and provide additional guidance on some aspects of these regulations. BOEM uses the information to inform its decisions on plan approval, to ensure operations are conducted according to all applicable regulations and plan conditions of approval, and to inform State and regional planning organizations modeling efforts. Overall, the information helps to determine whether an OCS facility will have a significant effect on the air quality and readiness of an offshore lessee to prevent or contain pollution in offshore waters. Respondents are Outer Continental Shelf Federal oil and gas and sulphur lessees and/or operators.

Short Statement: In 2015, OMB approved 112,111 burden hours for OMB control no. 1010-0057. BOEM adjusted the burden hours based on data collected from industry since 2015. For this renewal, BOEM adjusted the burden hours due to an overestimated number of respondents related to the collection and reporting of emissions data (303(k); 304(a), (g)), a drop in the number of respondent’s reporting emissions data in GOADS from 2011 to 2014, and other small modifications made at the program’s discretion. Although burden hours increased for some of the requirements, overall this information collection request decreases the total burden hours to 35,200 hours. This is a net decrease of 76,911 annual burden hours. The major reason for such a decrease in burden hours is because BOEM has over reported the annual number of respondents in past years. GOADS data is reported for a three year timeframe. BOEM has used the three year number as the annual number. In this renewal, BOEM has cut the number of respondents and annual burden hours back to 1/3rd of the past numbers. Additionally, the total number of facilities reported in Gulfwide Offshore Activity Data System has decreased. We also removed from the burden table the requirement of submitting copy of State-required Emergency Action Plan for the Pacific OCS Region. This information is not collected by BOEM, because it falls under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement.
