Safety Requirements Governing Production Platforms and Pipelines

The Minerals Management Service (MMS) withdraws the proposed rule governing production platforms and pipelines in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The major provision of the proposed rule was to require shutdown valves (SDV) on departing pipelines. MMS anticipates reviewing all its regulations governing offshore pipelines in the near future following the completion of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Department of the Interior (DOI) and Department of Transportation (DOT). MMS has decided that this issue can be better addressed during that review and subsequent rulemaking.
