VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Sep 11, 2023 Jkt 259001 Background and Discussion The Coast Guard issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) entitled ‘‘Marine Casualty Reporting on the Outer Continental Shelf,’’ on June 14, 2023 (88 FR 38765). In it we propose changing the reporting criteria for changing the reporting criteria for certain casualties that occur on foreign floating outer continental shelf (OCS) facilities (FOFs), mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs), and vessels engaged in OCS activities. In addition, the SNPRM proposes to raise the property damage dollar threshold that triggers a casualty report from $25,000 to $75,000 for fixed facilities on the OCS because the original regulation setting the property damage threshold amount was issued in the 1980s and has not since been updated. This SNPRM would update Coast Guard regulations to keep up with technology, improve awareness of accident trends on the OCS, improve safety on the OCS, and reduce the regulatory burden on operators of fixed OCS platforms. We set a 90-day comment period for the SNRPM and received several requests to extend the comment period. The requesters cited need for additional time to provide constructive responses to the SNRPM and a lack of awareness about the SNPRM among members of the affected industry as reasons for the requested extension. In response to this request, we decided to extend the public comment period by 60 days. The comment period is now open through November 13, 2023. Dated: September 8, 2023. W.R.

Background and Discussion

    The Coast Guard issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking 
(SNPRM) entitled ``Marine Casualty Reporting on the Outer Continental 
Shelf,'' on June 14, 2023 (88 FR 38765). In it we propose changing the 
reporting criteria for changing the reporting criteria for certain 
casualties that occur on foreign floating outer continental shelf (OCS) 
facilities (FOFs), mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs), and vessels 
engaged in OCS activities. In addition, the SNPRM proposes to raise the 
property damage dollar threshold that triggers a casualty report from 
$25,000 to $75,000 for fixed facilities on the OCS because the original 
regulation setting the property damage threshold amount was issued in 
the 1980s and has not since been updated. This SNPRM would update Coast 
Guard regulations to keep up with technology, improve awareness of 
accident trends on the OCS, improve safety on the OCS, and reduce the 
regulatory burden on operators of fixed OCS platforms.
    We set a 90-day comment period for the SNRPM and received several 
requests to extend the comment period. The requesters cited need for 
additional time to provide constructive responses to the SNRPM and a 
lack of awareness about the SNPRM among members of the affected 
industry as reasons for the requested extension.
    In response to this request, we decided to extend the public 
comment period by 60 days. The comment period is now open through 
November 13, 2023.
