Abstract: BSEE will use the information to oversee facility design, PO 00000 Frm 00141 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 66501 fabrication, installation, and safety management systems; ensure the safety of operations, including inspection programs and incident reporting and investigations; enforce compliance with all applicable safety, environmental, and other laws and regulations through enforcement actions (such as noncompliance notices, cessation orders, and certain lease suspensions); and oversee decommissioning activities. These responsibilities include enforcement provisions under the existing part 285 subpart D, various information submittal requirements under subpart F, as well as provisions governing activities conducted under an approved plan, including the design, construction, operation, and decommissioning of facilities under subparts G, H, and I. The requirements for and standards of review regarding the Facility Design Report (FDR) and Facility Fabrication and Installation Report (FIR) are unchanged: the FDR and FIR will continue to be evaluated for consistency with the Construction and Operations Plan (COP) and applicable engineering standards. Decommissioning requirements related to rights-of-use and easement for alternate uses of existing OCS facilities (Alternate Use RUE) have also been transferred from the existing subpart J to part 285. BSEE assumes the responsibility for ordering a lease or grant suspension when continued activities pose an imminent threat of serious or irreparable harm or damage to natural resources, life, property, the marine coastal, or human environment, or sites, structures, or objects of historical or archaeological significance. BSEE may also order a suspension when necessary to comply with a judicial decree. Under the rule, BSEE also assumes authority to issue cessation orders to address noncompliance on the part of the grantee or lessee. The Department does not issue Suspensions for Alternate Use RUEs upon the grantee’s request, but only by order. BOEM will retain authority to order suspensions required for National security, and BSEE will assume authority to order suspensions to address a threat of harm from continued operations. Either bureau may order a suspension when necessary to comply with a judicial decree. BSEE will order suspensions when operations are halted on the existing facility and BSEE determines continuation of the alternate use is unsafe or causes undue interference with the facility. Part 285 subpart D, Lease and Grant Administration, includes the authority to issue notices of noncompliance E:\FR\FM\27SEN1.SGM 27SEN1
