Oil and Gas and Sulphur Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf-Update of Incorporated Cranes Standard
Document Number: 2015-14640
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2015-06-15
Agency: Department of the Interior
BSEE proposes to incorporate by reference the Seventh Edition of the American Petroleum Institute (API) Specification 2C (Spec. 2C), ``Offshore Pedestal-mounted Cranes'' (2012), into its regulations. The Seventh Edition of API Spec. 2C revised many aspects of the standard for design and construction of cranes manufactured since the Seventh Edition took effect in October 2012. The intent of proposing to incorporate this revised standard into BSEE regulations is to improve the safety of cranes mounted on fixed platforms that are installed on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). This proposed rule would require that all cranes that lessees or operators mount on any fixed platforms after the effective date of the final rule comply with the Seventh Edition of API Spec. 2C.
