In case of default on the part of the designated operator, the lessee or grantee will make full and prompt compliance with all regulations, lease terms, or orders of the Secretary of the Interior or his representative.  If there is a change in the designated operator, the lessee or grantee must provide written notice to the Regional Supervisor and identify the new designated operator within 72 hours.  The lessee or grantee is the operator and responsible for compliance until BOEM approves designation of the new operator.  The designated operator shall comply with the Department of the Interior’s nonprocurement debarment and suspension regulations as required by 2 CFR Part 1400 and shall communicate the requirement to comply with these regulations to persons with whom it does business related to this designation by including this term in its contracts and transactions.
