Chapter II, Review of Existing Regulations

Date Published:
Tuesday, December 26, 2000
Regulatory Information Number:
Federal Register Cite: Vol. 65, No. 248, FR
81465
Summary: MMS
has been performing annual reviews of its significant regulations and asking
the public to participate in these reviews since 1994. The purpose of the
reviews is to identify and eliminate regulations that are obsolete,
ineffective, or burdensome. In addition, the reviews are meant to identify
essential regulations that should be revised because they are either
unclear, inefficient, or interfere with normal market conditions. As MMS
moves towards performance based regulations, we are looking at ways to offer
regulatory relief to industry for exceptional performance. We request your
comment and suggestions with respect to which regulations could be more
performance based and less prescriptive.

Relief or Reduction in
Royalty Rates--Deep Water Royalty Relief for OCS Oil and Gas Leases Issued
After 2000
![PDF](Assets/Icons/PDF.gif)
Date Published:
Thursday, November 16, 2000 Regulatory Information Number: 1010-AC71
Federal Register Cite: Vol. 65, No. 222, FR
69259
Summary: This
proposed rule revises regulations on royalty relief for oil and gas
producers on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). It provides for suspension
or reduction of royalty on a case-by-case basis for certain additional
categories of OCS leases. Also, it identifies circumstances when we may
consider special royalty relief outside our established end-of-life and deep
water royalty relief (DWRR) programs.

Oil and Gas and Sulphur
Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf--Oil and Gas Drilling Operations
![PDF](Assets/Icons/PDF.gif)
Date Published:
Thursday, July 27, 2000 Regulatory Information Number: 1010-AC43
Federal Register Cite: Vol. 65, No. 145, FR
46126
Summary: This
proposed rule restructures the requirements for oil and gas drilling
operations on the Outer Continental Shelf, adds some new requirements, and
converts the rule into plain language. It follows the logical sequence of
obtaining approval to drill a well and conducting operations. It also
removes overly prescriptive requirements and updates requirements to reflect
changes in drilling technology.

Outer Continental Shelf Oil and
Gas Leasing ![PDF Image](Assets/Icons/PDF.gif)
Date Published: Thursday,
September 14, 2000 Regulatory Information Number: 1010-AC69
Federal Register Cite: Vol. 65, No. 179, FR
55476
Summary: This
proposed rule outlines why and how we may issue Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) leases after November 2000 with royalty suspensions. It also presents
a plain-language revision of the existing rules for bidding systems and
joint bidding restrictions. It does not change the current policies on
royalty suspensions for leases issued before December 2000, though it does
add one minor reporting requirement for leases issued with royalty
suspension.

Oil and Gas and Sulphur Operations in
the Outer Continental Shelf--Decommissioning Activities
![PDF](Assets/Icons/PDF.gif)
Date Published: Friday,
July 7, 2000 Regulatory Information Number: 1010-AC65
Federal Register Cite: Vol. 65, No. 131, FR
41892
Summary: This
proposed rule would amend MMS regulations governing oil and gas operations
in the Outer Continental Shelf to update decommissioning requirements. The
new layout of the rule follows the logical sequence of plugging a well,
decommissioning the platform and pipeline, and clearing the lease site. The
proposed rule also updates requirements to reflect changes in technology. We
restructured the requirements to make the regulations easier to read and
understand. The proposed technical changes will help ensure that lessees
decommission facilities safely and effectively.
