In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, OMB is filing comment and withholding approval at
this time. The agency shall examine public comment in response to
the proposed rulemaking and will include in the supporting
statement of the next ICR--to be submitted to OMB at the final rule
stage--a description of how the agency has responded to any public
comments on the ICR, including comments on maximizing the practical
utility of the collection and minimizing the burden. Given that the
cost estimates presented rely largely on non-public data, the
agency is requested to work with OMB to increase the amount of
quality supporting information underlying the cost estimates before
this information collection is submitted for renewal. Lastly, the
supporting statement submitted at final rule stage should include
any changes that occurred between the proposed and final rule
related to this ICR.

The current OMB inventory for
this collection is 17,386 burden hours. In this submission, we are
requesting a total of 17,353 burden hours. This represents an
adjustment decrease of 310 burden hours. The adjustment decrease is
due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses. This
also represents a program increase of 277 burden hours due to this
final rulemaking, 1014-AA39, Blowout Preventer Systems and Well
Control Revisions. The current OMB non-hour cost burden for the APM
requirement is $308,500. In this submission, we are requesting a
total of $6,446,500. This represents a program increase of
$6,138,000 for Independent Third Party costs being added due to
this final rulemaking, 1014-AA39, Blowout Preventer Systems and
Well Control Revisions.
