Outer Continental Shelf Facility Security

This final rule adopts, with changes, the temporary interim rule published on July 1, 2003, that provides security measures for mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) not subject to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, and certain fixed and floating facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) other than deepwater ports. This rule also requires the owners or operators of OCS facilities to designate security officers for OCS facilities, develop security plans based on security assessments and surveys, implement security measures specific to the OCS facility's operation, and comply with Maritime Security Levels. This rule is one in a series of final rules on maritime security in today's Federal Register. To best understand this rule, first read the final rule titled "Implementation of National Maritime Security Initiatives" (USCG-2003-14792), published elsewhere in today's Federal Register.
