Title: Outer Continental Shelf Activities | |
Abstract: The Coast Guard is the lead Federal agency for workplace safety and health, other than for matters generally related to drilling and production that are regulated by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) on facilities and vessels engaged in the exploration for, or development or production of, minerals on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). This project would revise the regulations on OCS activities by: 1) Adding new requirements, some of which may use classification society rules, for OCS units for lifesaving, fire protection, training, hazardous materials used as stores, and accommodation spaces; 2) adding standards for electrical and machinery installations in hazardous locations; 3) providing regulations for dynamic positioning systems; 4) providing for USCG acceptance and approval of specified classification society plan reviews, inspections, audits, and surveys; and 5) requiring foreign vessels engaged in OCS activities to comply with rules similar to those imposed on U.S. vessels similarly engaged. This project would affect the owners and operators of facilities and vessels engaged in offshore activities. | |
