Abstract: Subpart S requirements require the operator (et al) to integrate a comprehensive SEMS program into the management of their OCS operations, providing for the prevention of waste and conservation of natural resources on the OCS. These regulations hold the operator accountable for the overall safety of the offshore facility; ensuring all contractors and subcontractors have safety policies/procedures in place that support the implementation of the operator's SEMS program and align with the principles of managing safety as in API RP 75 as well as other specific standards.
