The BSEE is seeking
comments on improving safety for
operations related to helicopters and
helidecks on fixed offshore facilities.
Specifically, BSEE invites comments on
whether to incorporate in its regulations
certain industry and/or international

standards for design, construction, and
maintenance of offshore helidecks, as
well as standards for aviation fuel
quality, storage and handling. The BSEE
also invites comments on whether it
should incorporate existing standards,
with modifications, and/or develop and
propose new government regulatory
standards for safety of helidecks and
aviation fuel systems. As an alternative
to incorporating or developing such
standards, BSEE invites comments on
whether to require submission of
aviation-related safety plans for
helidecks and offshore aviation fuel
systems on Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) facilities. The BSEE also seeks
information on past accidents or other
incidents involving helidecks,
helicopters, or aviation fuel on or near
fixed OCS facilities.
DATES: Submit comments by November
24, 2014. The BSEE may not fully
consider comments received after this
date.
You may submit comments

Executive Summary
In accordance with the Outer
Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA),
BSEE and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)
share regulatory authority over offshore
facilities engaged in oil and gas
operations—including exploration,
development, and production
activities—on the OCS. Among other
purposes, BSEE’s regulations for
offshore operations seek to prevent
injury or loss of life and damage to
property, natural resources, and the
environment. As one means of
achieving these goals, BSEE
incorporates by reference in its
regulations many industry standards
applicable to offshore oil and gas
operations.
Although the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) has broad
authority regarding helicopter-related
safety issues and onshore and offshore
flight safety, BSEE has the lead
responsibility for safety of helidecks and
aviation fuel storage and handling on
fixed offshore facilities, while the USCG
has the lead responsibility for helidecks
and aviation fuel handling on floating
offshore facilities. Currently, BSEE’s
regulations incorporate and require
compliance with certain industry
standards that address some safety
issues related to helidecks and the
presence of helicopters and aviation fuel
on fixed offshore facilities. However,
BSEE’s existing regulations do not
comprehensively address helideck or
aviation fuel safety issues.
Recent reports by the U.S Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
and the Helicopter Safety Advisory
Conference confirm that helicopter
accidents and helicopter-related
incidents on or near offshore facilities
are a significant concern. Similarly,
incident reports submitted by offshore
operators to the Minerals Management
Service (MMS)—BSEE’s predecessor
agency—or to BSEE over the past 15
years indicate that incidents involving
helicopter operations on or near
offshore facilities have resulted in
several fatalities, significant injuries and
substantial property damage.
The BSEE has reviewed existing
industry and international standards for
helideck and aviation fuel safety and
believes that certain standards, if
incorporated into BSEE’s regulations for
fixed offshore facilities, could improve
safety and reduce risks of injury and
