Notice
to Lessees and Operators (NTL) of Federal Oil, Gas,
and Sulphur Leases in the Outer Continental Shelf
Suspension of Requirements for
Updating Safety and
Pollution Prevention Equipment Inventory Lists
The provisions of 30 CFR 250.126 (b) (2) require that
lessees notify the Deputy Associate Director for Offshore Operations when a subsurface
safety valve is removed from service for a failure or malfunction, or when an underwater
safety valve or surface safety valve is removed from service for re-manufacture. Once
notified, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) removes the affected valve from the master
inventory list of safety and pollution prevention equipment (SPPE) provided by each
lessee.
The MMS is currently reviewing its regulations found at 30
CFR 250.126, quality assurance and performance of the SPPE. While MMS is completing this
review of the regulations, lessees may suspend sending updates of their SPPE lists to MMS
until further notice.
