8. 8 The Subpart S rule does not require a MODU owner or contractor of any kind to develop a SEMS. The OCS operators are the only parties that must develop and implement a SEMS program within the context of the requirements set forth in Subpart S. Key Point

9. 9 NTL No. 2011 – N09 “You” as used in Subpart S, includes a lessee, the owner or holder of operating rights, a designated operator or agent of the lessee(s), a pipeline right-of-way holder, or a State lessee granted a right- of-use and easement. Subpart S does not require a contractor or subcontractor performing work for you on a facility as described in 30 CFR 250.1911 to have a SEMS.

10. 10 Operator’s SEMS program must document contractor selection criteria. When selecting a contractor, Operator’s must obtain and evaluate information regarding the contractor's safety and environmental performance. Operators must ensure that contractors have their own written safe work practices. Contractors may adopt appropriate sections of Operator’s SEMS program. Operators and their contractor(s) must document an agreement on appropriate contractor safety and environmental policies and practices before the contractor begins work at their facilities. This does not include contractors providing domestic services, e.g., janitorial, food and beverage, laundry, housekeeping, etc. Operator’s SEMS Obligations

11. 11 BSEE has the authority in Subpart S to direct OCS operators to conduct comprehensive SEMS audits based on operator or contractor performance, e.g.: INC to Component Ratio INC to Inspection Ratio Incidents Increased Oversight List Leading Indicators – Shut-in PINCs, P-103, etc Civil Penalties SEMS awareness / participation Are you in the clear?
