Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et
seq.), as amended, requires the Secretary
of the Interior to preserve, protect, and
develop OCS oil, gas, and sulphur
resources; make such resources
available to meet the Nation’s energy
needs as rapidly as possible; balance
orderly energy resource development

with protection of the human, marine,
and coastal environments; ensure the
public a fair and equitable return on the
resources of the OCS; and preserve and
maintain free enterprise competition.
These responsibilities are among those
delegated to MMS. The MMS generally
issues regulations to ensure that
operations in the OCS will meet
statutory requirements; provide for
safety and protect the environment; and
result in diligent exploration,
development, and production of OCS
leases.
In 1991 MMS began promoting, on a
voluntary basis, the implementation of a
comprehensive Safety and
Environmental Management Program
(SEMP) for the offshore oil and gas
industry as a complement to current
regulatory efforts to protect people and
the environment during OCS oil and gas
exploration and production activities.
From the beginning, MMS, the industry
as a whole, and individual companies
realized that at some point they would
want to know the effect of SEMP on
safety and environmental management
of the OCS. The natural consequence of
this interest was the establishment of
performance measures. We are
requesting OMB approval for a routine
renewal of Form MMS–131,
Performance Measures Data.
The responses to this collection of
information are voluntary, although we
consider the information to be critical
for assessing the effects of the OCS
Safety and Environmental Management
Program. We can better focus our
regulatory and research programs on
areas where the performance measures
indicate that operators are having
difficulty meeting MMS expectations.
We are more effective in leveraging
resources by redirecting research efforts,
promoting appropriate regulatory
initiatives, and shifting inspection
program emphasis. The performance
measures give us valuable quantitative
information to use in judging the
reasonableness of company requests for
alternative compliance or departures
under 30 CFR 250.141 and 250.142. We
also use the information collected to
work with industry representatives to
identify and request ‘‘pacesetter’’
companies make presentations at
periodic workshops.
Knowing how the offshore operators
as a group are doing, and where their
own company ranks, provides company
management with information to focus
their continuous improvement efforts.
This leads to more cost-effective
prevention actions and, therefore, better
cost containment. This information also
provides offshore operators and
organizations with a credible data
