Since aspects of this collection are included for the first time, when the Agency submits a request for renewal, it must include evidence of consultation with respondents to ensure the supporting statement's accuracy on frequency of collection and accuracy of burden estimate, especially for the non-hour cost estimates such as those associated with Section 250.842 of the regulations.

Abstract:
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) proposes to amend the regulations regarding oil and natural gas production to address certain overly burdensome requirements.

Short Statement:
Current subpart H regulations have 95,997 hours approved. This ICR requests a total of 93,385 burden hours; resulting in an adjustment decrease of -2,670 and of program increase of 58 burden hours. The current OMB approved non-hour cost burden for subpart H is $5,582,481 (cost recovery fees). In this submission, we are requesting a program adjustment of $5,790,215 due to new non-hour cost burdens associated with PE Costs inadvertently omitted from final rulemaking 1014-AA10 (81 FR 61834). Also, in this submission, we are requesting a program change of -$460,000. This results in a total of $10,912,696 non-hour cost burdens.
