The objective of this Review
is to perform a comprehensive assessment of the regulations
to be managed under the authority of the newly formed Bureau
of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) scheduled
to
commence on October 1, 2011. The Review will assess current
regulations and identify issues related to regulatory
organization, gaps and implementation. More specifically,
the Review will:
1)
Address the effectiveness, comprehensiveness and timeliness
of the regulations based on the authority given to BSEE by
the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act.
2)
Review internal sources of information that could be used to
identify regulatory needs.
3)
Evaluate whether BSEE’s regulations will be adequate to
address current technology used offshore.
4)
Identify items within the regulations that need to be
addressed and prioritize those items for future rulemaking.
5)
Include input from Headquarters, Regional, and District
offices, to identify areas of BSEE regulations that are
ineffective and identify issues related to implementation.
6)
Assess the advantages and disadvantages of creating
regulations specifically to address deepwater operations. |
