§ 140.103 Annual inspection of fixed OCS facilities.
(a) The owner or operator of each fixed OCS facility shall ensure that the facility is inspected, at intervals not
to exceed 12 months, to determine whether the facility is in compliance with the requirements of this
subchapter.
(b) Except for initial inspections under § 140.101(f), inspections by Coast Guard marine inspectors and
Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) inspectors do not meet the requirements for an
inspection under paragraph (a) of this section.
(c) Except for initial inspections under § 140.101(f), the results of the inspection under paragraph (a) of this
section must be recorded on form CG-5432. Forms CG-5432 may be obtained from the Officer in Charge,
Marine Inspection. A copy of the completed form must be kept for 2 years after the inspection under

For unmanned fixed OCS facilities, the copy of the completed form must be kept either at the nearest
manned fixed OCS facility or, if there is no manned fixed OCS facility in the area, at the nearest field office
of the owner or operator. In addition, the owner or operator must submit, to the appropriate BSEE District
