Risk Management, Financial

ACTION: Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking—Extension of Public
Comment Period.
AGENCY:
BOEM has recognized the
need to develop a comprehensive
program to assist in identifying,
prioritizing, and managing the risks
associated with industry activities on
the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).
BOEM intends to design and implement
a more robust and comprehensive risk
management, financial assurance and
loss prevention program to address the
complex issues and cost differences
associated with offshore operations. As
part of its overall effort to establish this
program and associated changes to
regulations, BOEM is seeking
stakeholder comments regarding various
risk management and monitoring
activities pertaining to financial risks to
taxpayers that may result from activities
on the OCS.
BOEM currently requires lessees to
provide performance bonds and/or one
of various alternative forms of financial
assurance to ensure compliance with
the terms and conditions of leases,
Rights-of-Use and Easements and
Pipeline Rights-of-Way. BOEM is
seeking comments on who is best suited
to mitigate risks and whether other
forms of financial assurance should be
used, as well as whether, or to what
extent, the current forms of financial
assurance are adequate and appropriate.
BOEM has received comments to its
Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (ANPR) indicating that the

RIN 1625–AA09
Drawbridge Operation Regulations;
Oceanport Creek, Oceanport, NJ
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of proposed rulemaking;
withdrawal.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
withdrawing its notice of proposed
rulemaking concerning the New Jersey
Transit Rail Operations (NJTRO) Bridge
across Oceanport Creek at mile 8.4, at
Oceanport, New Jersey. The bridge
owner submitted a request to require a
four-hour advance notice for bridge
openings year-round based upon
infrequent requests to open the draw
over the last three years.
The Coast Guard is withdrawing this
notice of proposed rulemaking because
the data supporting the bridge owner’s
request was based upon the past three
years of bridge openings; however, we
received comments in response to our
notice of proposed rulemaking that
advised us that the Fort Monmouth
Marina and Restaurant, located
upstream from the bridge, was closed
during the three year time period when
the bridge opening data was collected.
Subsequently, marina and restaurant
has re-opened and it is now anticipated
that the number of bridge opening
requests will significantly increase.
As a result of the above information
we do not believe that a four-hour
advance notice for bridge openings is
justified at this time and that a fourhour advance notice for bridge openings
would not meet the reasonable needs of
navigation.
DATES: The notice of proposed
rulemaking is withdrawn on October 9,
2014.
