Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Overall, this rule results in the following adjustments in hour burden, which leads to an overall increase of 21 annual burden hours: •The Department is proposing to add a new paragraph (i) in section 556.901 to allow an lessee to provide a proposed installment schedule for supplemental financial assurance prior to the receipt of an official demand letter. BOEM is adding additional burden for the submission of this installment schedule. BOEM estimates an increase of 20 annual burden hours (20 responses x 1 hour burden). •The Department is proposing a new section 556.908 to address instances where decommissioning will occur within one year of a new supplemental financial assurance demand, which would allow the Regional Director the discretion to accept third-party decommissioning contracts and/or decommissioning schedules from those entities in lieu of supplemental financial assurance. This is a new provision that may slightly increase annual burden hours. BOEM estimates an increase of 1 annual burden hours (2 responses x ½ hour burden).
