Abstract: The BSEE uses the
information collected under the Subpart
A regulations to ensure that operations
on the OCS are carried out in a safe and
pollution-free manner, do not interfere
with the rights of other users on the
OCS, and balance the protection and
development of OCS resources.
Specifically, we use the information
collected to:
• Review records of formal crane
operator and rigger training, crane
operator qualifications, crane
inspections, testing, and maintenance to
ensure that lessees/operators perform
operations in a safe and workmanlike
manner and that equipment is
maintained in a safe condition. The
BSEE also uses the information to make
certain that all new and existing cranes
installed on OCS fixed platforms must
be equipped with anti-two block safety
devices, and to assure that uniform

methods are employed by lessees for
load testing of cranes.
• Review welding plans, procedures,
and records to ensure that welding is
conducted in a safe and workmanlike
manner by trained and experienced
personnel.
• Provide lessees/operators greater
flexibility to comply with regulatory
requirements through approval of
alternative equipment or procedures
and departures to regulations if they
demonstrate equal or better compliance
with the appropriate performance
standards.
• Ensure that injection of gas
promotes conservation of natural
resources and prevents waste.
• Record the agent and local agent
empowered to receive notices and
comply with regulatory orders issued.
• Provide for orderly development of
leases through the use of information to
determine the appropriateness of lessee/
operator requests for suspension of
operations, including production.
• Improve safety and environmental
protection on the OCS through
collection and analysis of accident
reports to ascertain the cause of the
accidents and to determine ways to
prevent recurrences.
• Ascertain when the lease ceases
production or when the last well ceases
production in order to determine the
180th day after the date of completion
of the last production. The BSEE will
use this information to efficiently
maintain the lessee/operator lease
status.
• Allow lessees/operators who
exhibit unacceptable performance an
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.
The BSEE forms use and information
consists of the following:
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.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 250,
subpart A, General.
