Short Statement: The current OMB Control Number 1010-0151 accounts for 286,144 annual burden hours with 1,291 responses, and $3,688,524 non-hour cost burdens. This proposed rule would add and remove requirements for submitting exploration plans and other information before conducting oil and gas exploration drilling activities on the Arctic OCS. If this rule becomes final and effective, annual burden hours for OMB Control Number 1010-0151 would decrease by 2,830 hours, totaling 283,314 annual burden hours with with 1,290 responses (decrease of 1 response). BOEM proposes to remove the IOP requirements in (30 CFR 550.200-.206). Removing the IOP provision would decrease the annual burden hours by 1 response and 2,880 hours. (- 1 response and 2,880 annual burden hours). BOEM proposes to add a requirement to 30 CFR 550.211(b) designed to describe operational safety procedures that the operator has developed specific to conditions relevant on the Arctic OCS in the EP. Retaining this provision would lessen the 2,880 hour burden decrease by 50 annual burden hours (i.e., by retaining 50 annual burden hours).
