incremental approach to improving
their overall performance prior to a final
decision to disqualify a lessee/operator
or to pursue debarment proceedings
through the execution of a performance
improvement plan (PIP). The Subpart A
regulations do not address the actual
process that we will follow in pursuing
the disqualification of operators under
§§ 250.135 and 250.136; however, our
internal enforcement procedures
include allowing such operators to
demonstrate a commitment to
acceptable performance by the
submission of a PIP.
We will not be making any changes to
the forms this renewal cycle.
The BSEE forms use and information
consists of the following:
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Form BSEE–0132, Hurricane and
Tropical Storm Evacuation and
Production Curtailment Statistics
(GOMR)
• Be informed when there could be a
major disruption in the availability and
supply of natural gas and oil due to
natural occurrences/hurricanes, to
advise the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) in
case of the need to rescue offshore
workers in distress, to monitor damage
to offshore platforms and drilling rigs,
and to advise the news media and
interested public entities when
production is shut-in and when
resumed. The Gulf of Mexico OCS
Region (GOMR) uses Form BSEE–0132,
Hurricane and Tropical Storm
Evacuation and Production Curtailment
Statistics, for respondents to report
evacuation statistics when necessary.
This form requires the respondent to
submit general information such as
company name, contact, date, time,
telephone number, as well as number of
platforms and drilling rigs evacuated
and not evacuated. We also require
production shut-in statistics for oil
(BOPD) and gas (MMSCFD).
Form BSEE–0143, Facility/Equipment
Damage Report
• Assists lessees, lease operators, and
pipeline right-of-way holders when
reporting damage by a hurricane,
earthquake, or other natural
phenomenon. They are required to
submit an initial damage report to the
Regional Supervisor within 48 hours
after completing the initial evaluation of
the damage and then, subsequent
reports, monthly and immediately,
whenever information changes until the
damaged structure or equipment is
returned to service. Information on the
form includes—instructions, general
information, a description of the
damage, an initial damage assessment,
production rate at time of shut-in (BPD

and/or MMCFPD), cumulative
production shut-in (BPD and/or
MMCFPD), and estimated time to return
to service (in days).
Form BSEE–1832, Notification of
Incident(s) of Noncompliance
• Determine that respondents have
corrected all Incident(s) of
Noncompliance (INCs), identified
during inspections. Everything on the
INC form is filled out by a BSEE
inspector/representative. The only thing
industry does with this form is sign the
document upon receipt and respond to
BSEE when each INC has been
corrected, no later than 14 days from the
date of issuance.
