Oil, Gas and Sulfur Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf--
Adjustment of Service Fees

AGENCY: Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), 
Interior.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule amends BSEE regulations to update service fees 
that cover BSEE's cost of processing and filing certain documents 
relating to its oil and gas resources program to account for inflation 
from 2013 through 2021. BSEE also changes its website link used by 
operators to make payments for service fees in this rule.

DATES: This final rule is effective April 6, 2022. The incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this rule was approved by 
the Director as of November 7, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. BSEE Statutory and Regulatory Authority

    BSEE derives its authority principally from the Outer Continental 
Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) (43 U.S.C. 1331-1356(a)). Congress enacted 
OCSLA in 1953, establishing Federal control over the Outer Continental 
Shelf (OCS) and authorizing the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) 
to regulate oil and gas exploration, development, and production 
operations on the OCS. The Secretary has authorized BSEE to perform 
certain of these functions (30 CFR 250.101).
    The BSEE regulatory program is comprehensive and provides for 
regulatory oversight over a wide range of facilities and activities 
including drilling, completion, workover, production, pipeline, and 
decommissioning operations. To carry out its responsibilities, BSEE 
develops and enforces regulations to enhance safety and environmental 
protection for offshore exploration and development of oil and natural 
gas on the OCS and to reflect advancements in technology and new 
information. BSEE also conducts onsite inspections to ensure compliance 
with regulations, lease terms, and approved plans and permits, and 
operates an oil spill response planning and preparedness program. 
Detailed information concerning BSEE's regulations and guidance to the 
offshore industry may be found on BSEE's website at https://www.bsee.gov/what-we-do/offshore-regulatory-programs/regulations-standards.

II. Background

    BSEE has authority to recover the full cost of services that confer 
special benefits under the Independent Offices Appropriation Act (31 
U.S.C. 9701), the Fiscal Year 1996 Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L. 
104-134, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26, 1996), and Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) Circular A-25. BSEE is required to charge the full cost 
for federal services that provide special benefits or privileges to an 
identifiable non-Federal recipient above and beyond those which accrue 
to the public at large. The regulations at 30 CFR 250.125(a) provide 
that BSEE will periodically adjust the fees set forth in that provision 
for inflation according to changes in the Implicit Price Deflator for 
Gross Domestic Product (IPD-GDP), which is published quarterly by the 
Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
    The regulation at 30 CFR 250.126(a) also requires payments of fees 
for services to be filed electronically. The BSEE website currently 
enables operators to make electronic payments; this rule clarifies how 
to access a Fees for Services web page directly without scrolling 
through the website. This informational change to the existing URL 
identified in the regulation simplifies the process for operators to 
make electronic payments for fees at https://www.bsee.gov/who-we-are/working-with-us/Fees-for-Services.
    BSEE has not implemented inflation-based adjustments for service 
fees since 2013. This rulemaking will prevent further loss of revenue 
from recipients

[[Page 19800]]

of government services in accord with Congress' intent as expressed in 
authorities cited above. The highest adjustment, in dollar terms, is to 
the fee for Platform Application--Installation--Under the Platform 
Verification Program, which will increase by $3,710 from a previous 
level of $22,734. BSEE considers this dollar amount insignificant as 
compared to the considerable operational costs and liability risks 
associated with activities on the OCS.
    BSEE charges cost recovery fees for 31 separate services it 
provides to non-Federal recipients, as set out in 30 CFR 250.125(a). 
BSEE published a proposed rule to modify many of these cost recovery 
fees on November 17, 2016 (81 FR 81033), ``Adjustments to Cost Recovery 
Fees Relating to the Regulation of Oil, Gas, and Sulfur Activities on 
the Outer Continental Shelf.'' Following an extension of the comment 
period on January 5, 2017 (82 FR 1284), BSEE received public comments 
until February 16, 2017. Ultimately, the Department did not publish a 
final rule associated with the 2016 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
(NPRM). This direct final rule does not examine issues raised in the 
2016 NPRM; instead, this rule focuses only on inflation-based 
adjustments to service fees. BSEE may pursue a separate, future 
rulemaking to adjust these fees based on a recalculation of actual 
agency costs.
    The Department finds that good cause exists under the 
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B)) to implement this 
final rule for inflation adjustments without prior public notice and 
comment. BSEE provided the public with an opportunity to comment on the 
adjustment procedure used in this rule during the public comment period 
when it promulgated 30 CFR 250.125(a) at 70 FR 49875 (Aug. 25, 2005), 
as amended at 71 FR 40909 (July 19, 2006); 72 FR 25199 (May 4, 2007); 
73 FR 49946 (Aug. 25, 2008); 75 FR 20288 (Apr. 19, 2010); and 78 FR 
60213 (October. 1, 2013) (which was also a direct final rule).\1\ The 
calculation of these adjustments is based on the change in the BEA IPD-
GDP, as dictated by existing regulation. The amount of the adjustment 
is not within BSEE's discretion where Congress prescribed that ``each 
service or thing of value provided by an agency . . . is to be self-
sustaining to the extent possible.'' 31 U.S.C. 9701(a). Accordingly, 
because the rule merely implements existing regulatory procedures 
established through prior rulemakings, employing preestablished 
benchmarks outside the Department's discretion or control, public 
notice and comment procedures are unnecessary.

III. Discussion of Final Rule

    In this direct final rule, BSEE is adjusting cost recovery service 
fees to account for inflation in accordance with 30 CFR 250.125(a). 
These cost recovery service fees were last updated on October 1, 2013, 
when BSEE published a final rule on ``Oil and Gas and Sulfur Operations 
in the Outer Continental Shelf--Adjustment of Service Fees'' in the 
Federal Register (78 FR 60213). The 2013 update included fee 
adjustments to account for inflation through the year 2012. This final 
rule is based on the change in the IPD-GDP from 2013 through 2021, thus 
reflecting the rate of inflation over 9 years.
    The inflation rate between any 2 years is calculated as the 
percentage difference between the measure of the level of prices for a 
designated year (e.g., 2021) and some previous year (e.g., 2013) of all 
new, domestically produced, final goods and services in the economy, as 
contained in the BEA Table 1.1.9, IPD-GDP available at http://www.bea.gov/iTable/index_nipa.cfm. The BEA Table 1.1.9 IPD-GDP shows a 
percentage difference between the measure of the level of prices 
between 2021 and 2013 of 16.32 percent. The 2022 cost recovery service 
fees are calculated by increasing the 2013 cost recovery service fee 
value by 16.32 percent. The calculated value is rounded to the nearest 
dollar to establish the 2022 cost recovery service fee. Only the 
service fees at 30 CFR 250.125(a) will change.
    While BEA may revise the inflation rate in the future, BSEE will 
retain this published cost recovery service fee schedule until BSEE 
publishes an updated cost recovery service fee schedule in the Federal 
Register.
    The following table lists the types of services BSEE performs when 
it receives a plan, application, permit, or other request; the 
associated regulatory citation for each type of request; the existing 
and proposed fee; and the acceptable payment type for each service, 
which are credit card and electronic check through the Automated 
Clearing House (ACH-debit). Because the current U.S. Treasury limit on 
credit card payments is $24,999.99, an ACH-debit must be used for 
payments of $25,000 or more. The following page on the BSEE website 
provides information to operators on how to pay the service fees in 30 
CFR 250.125(a): https://www.bsee.gov/who-we-are/working-with-us/Fees-for-Services.

Procedural Matters

Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Order 12866)

    This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866.
    1. These amendments are administrative and procedural. This rule 
will not have an effect of $100 million or more on the economy. It will 
not adversely affect in a material way the economy, productivity, 
competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, 
local, or tribal governments or communities. A cost-benefit and 
economic analysis is not required.
    2. This rule will not create a serious inconsistency or otherwise 
interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency.
    3. This rule will not alter the budgetary effects of entitlements, 
grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights or obligations of 
their recipients.
    4. This rule does not raise novel legal or policy issues.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

    This rule is not a major rule under the Small Business Regulatory 
Enforcement Fairness Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.). This rule:
    1. Will not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or 
more.
    2. Will not cause a major increase in costs or prices for 
consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local government 
agencies, or geographic regions.
    3. Will not have significant adverse effects on competition, 
employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of 
U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises. The 
requirements will apply to all entities operating on the OCS.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

    This rule will not impose an unfunded mandate on State, local, or 
tribal governments or the private sector of more than $100 million per 
year. The rule will not have a significant or unique effect on State, 
local, or tribal governments or the private sector. A statement 
containing the information required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 
(2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) is not required.

Takings Implication Assessment (E.O. 12630)

    Under E.O. 12630, the rule does not have significant takings 
implications. The rulemaking is not a governmental action capable of 
interfering with constitutionally protected property rights. A Takings 
Implication Assessment is not required.

Federalism (E.O. 13132)

    Under the criteria in E.O. 13132, this rulemaking does not have 
federalism implications. This rule will not substantially and directly 
affect the relationship between the Federal and State governments. To 
the extent that State and local governments have a role in OCS 
activities, this rule will not affect that role. A federalism 
assessment is not required.

Civil Justice Reform (E.O. 12988)

    This rule complies with the requirements of E.O. 12988. 
Specifically, this rule:
    1. Meets the criteria of section 3(a) requiring that all 
regulations be reviewed to eliminate errors and ambiguity and be 
written to minimize litigation; and
    2. Meets the criteria of section 3(b)(2) requiring that all 
regulations be written in clear language and contain clear legal 
standards.

Consultation With Indian Tribes (E.O. 13175)

    The Department of the Interior strives to strengthen its 
government-to-government relationship with Indian Tribes through a 
commitment to consultation with Indian Tribes and recognition of their 
right to self-governance and tribal sovereignty. We have evaluated this 
rule under the Department of the Interior's consultation policy, under 
Departmental Manual Part 512 Chapters 4 and 5, and under the criteria 
in E.O. 13175. We have determined that it has no substantial direct 
effects on Federally recognized Indian Tribes or Alaska Native Claims 
Settlement Act (ANCSA) Corporations, and that consultation under the 
Department of the Interior's tribal and ANCSA consultation policies is 
not required.

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995

    This rule does not contain new information collection requirements 
and a submission under the PRA is not required. Therefore, an 
information collection request is not being submitted to OMB for review 
and approval under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)

    This rule does not constitute a major Federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment. The BSEE has analyzed 
this rule under the criteria of NEPA and DOI's regulations implementing 
NEPA. This rule meets the criteria set forth at 43 CFR 46.210(i) for a 
Departmental Categorical Exclusion in that this rule is ``of an 
administrative, financial, legal, technical, or procedural nature . . 
.'' Further, BSEE has analyzed this rule to determine if it meets any 
of the extraordinary circumstances that would nevertheless require 
preparation of an environmental assessment or an environmental impact 
statement, as set forth in 43 CFR 46.215, and concluded that this rule 
does not meet any of the criteria for extraordinary circumstances.

Data Quality Act

    In developing this rule, we did not conduct or use a study, 
experiment, or survey requiring peer review under the Data Quality Act 
(Pub. L. 106-554, app. C section 515, 114 Stat. 2763, 2763A-153-154).

Effects on the Nation's Energy Supply (E.O. 13211)

    This rule is not a significant energy action under the definition 
in E.O. 13211. Therefore, a Statement of Energy Effects is not 
required.

Incorporation by Reference (1 CFR Part 51)

    The Director of the Federal Register previously approved the 
following material for incorporation by reference into the section 
where it appears in this rule: API RP 14C, Recommended Practice for 
Analysis, Design, Installation, and Testing of Basic Surface Safety 
Systems for Offshore Production Platforms, Seventh Edition, March 2001, 
reaffirmed: March 2007.

List of Subjects in 30 CFR Part 250

    Administrative practice and procedure, Continental shelf, 
Environmental impact statements, Environmental protection, Government 
contracts, Incorporation by reference, Investigations, Mineral 
resources, Oil and gas exploration, Penalties, Pipelines, Continental 
Shelf--mineral resources, Continental Shelf--rights-of-way, Reporting 
and recordkeeping requirements, and Sulfur.

Laura Daniel-Davis,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Land and Minerals Management.

    For the reasons stated in the preamble, the Bureau of Safety and 
Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) amends title 30, chapter II, 
subchapter B, part 250 of the Code of Federal Regulations as follows:
