PART 134--ADDED PROVISIONS FOR LIFTBOATS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 134.150  Liftboat-jacking systems.

    (a) For this subchapter, liftboat jacking systems are vital systems 
and must comply with Sections 4/1.13.1 through 4/1.13.3 of the ABS's 
``Rules for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Drilling Units'' as 
well as meet the applicable requirements of part 128 of this subchapter.
    (b) Each control system for a liftboat jacking system must be 
designed so that loss of power, loss of pressure in the hydraulic 
system, or low hydraulic-fluid level will activate a visible and audible 
alarm at the operating station and will not result in the liftboat's 
uncontrolled descent.
