Citation: 83 FR (No. 129) · FR Doc. 2018-14483 · RIN 1014-AA39 · Docket ID: BSEE-2018-0002; 189E1700D2 ET1SF0000.PSB000; EEEE500000 · 30 CFR 250

Summary

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) is extending the comment period of the Proposed Rule: Oil and Gas and Sulfur Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf—Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control-Revisions, which published in the Federal Register on May 11, 2018. BSEE is also correcting the ADDRESSES section of the preamble to the proposed rule to clarify how to submit public comments and how to view the documents proposed for incorporation by reference.

Dates

BSEE is extending the comment period of the proposed rule published in the Federal Register on May 11, 2018 (83 FR 22128) until August 6, 2018.

Supplementary Information

On May 11, 2018, BSEE published the proposed rule 1014-AA39 Oil and Gas and Sulfur Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf—Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control-Revisions and opened the 60 day public comment period, which is currently scheduled to close on July 10, 2018. Upon further BSEE review of the published ADDRESSES section of the proposed rule preamble, we determined that the ADDRESSES section in the preamble was unclear regarding how to submit public comments and how to view the documents proposed for incorporation by reference. This notification corrects both of these issues in order to eliminate any potential confusion about the available methods for submitting public comments on the proposed rule and for viewing documents proposed for incorporation by reference. This notification clarifies the language in the ADDRESSES section of the proposed rule by adding bold headings and separating the section into two topics, Public comment and Documents incorporated by reference. The “Public comment” topic provides instructions for submitting comments via www.regulations.gov and now contains the address for submitting public comments by mail or for hand delivery to BSEE. The “Documents incorporated by reference” topic is revised to include minor formatting edits and updates to the web address for purchasing API standards. This section still identifies the methods for viewing the documents proposed for incorporation by reference that are developed by API and ISO. To see the changes to the ADDRESSES section of the proposed rule, refer to the ADDRESSES section of this notice. Joseph R. Balash, Assistant Secretary—Land and Minerals Management, U.S. Department of the Interior. [FR Doc. 2018-14483 Filed 7-2-18; 11:15 am]
