Description: The Department of the Interior (DOI or
Department), through the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE),
is adding requirements for new or unusual technology, including equipment used
in high pressure high temperature (HPHT) environments; revising and
reorganizing the information submission requirements for a project's Conceptual
Plans and Deepwater Operations Plan (DWOP); and requiring independent third
parties to review certain information prior to submission to BSEE. This final
rule will improve operational and environmental safety and human health, while
providing consistency and clarity to industry regarding the equipment and
operational requirements as well as the submissions that are necessary so that
BSEE can review and consider for approval proposed projects that would use new
or unusual technology.
This final rule is effective on 29 October 2024. The
incorporation by reference of certain material listed in this rule is approved
by the Director of the Federal Register as of 29 October 2024.
