In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, BTS announces its plan to submit the information collection request (ICR) described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its review and approval and invites public comment. BTS is requesting approval to renew an existing ICR 2138-0048, Industry Safety Data Program. The Oil and Gas Industry Safety Data (ISD) program is a component of BTS' SafeOCS data sharing framework, which provides a trusted, proactive means for the offshore oil and gas industry to report sensitive and proprietary safety information and to identify early warnings of potential safety issues not previously exposed from analysis of reportable accidents and incidents. The program is sponsored by the Department of the Interior and operated independently by BTS. Companies participating in the ISD program voluntarily submit safety data; there is no regulatory requirement to submit such data. The renewal of this ICR will enable BTS to continue collecting voluntary reports of near misses and other safety information, enabling analyses that provide the industry and other stakeholders with valuable information regarding precursors to safety risks and that contribute to research and development of intervention programs aimed at preventing accidents and fatalities on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).
