All MODUs must have a minimum of two functioning GPS transponders at all times, and you must provide to BSEE real-time access to the GPS data prior to and during each hurricane season.
(a)The GPS must be capable of monitoring the position and tracking the path in real-time if the MODU moves from its location during a severe storm.

(d)Each GPS transponder must be capable of transmitting data for at least 7 days after a storm has passed.
(e)If the MODU is moved off location in the event of a storm, you must immediately begin to record the GPS location data.
(f)You must contact the Regional Office and allow real-time access to the MODU location data. When you contact the Regional Office, provide the following:
(1)Name of the lessee and operator with contact information;
