Minerals Management Service 

Outer Continental Shelf Civil Penalties 

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service 

(MMS), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice summarizing Outer 

Continental Shelf Civil Penalties paid 

from January 1, 2006, through December 

31, 2006. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides a listing 

of civil penalties paid from January 1, 

2006, through December 31, 2006, for 

violations of the Outer Continental Shelf 

Lands Act (OCSLA). The goal of the 

MMS Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) 

Civil Penalties Program is to assure safe 

and clean operations in the OCS. 

Through the pursuit, assessment, and 

collection of civil penalties and referrals 

for the consideration of criminal 

penalties, the program is designed to 

encourage compliance with OCS 

statutes and regulations. The purpose of 

publishing the penalties summary is to 

provide information to the public on 

violations of special concern in OCS 

operations and to provide an additional 

incentive for safe and environmentally 

sound operations. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joanne McCammon, Program 

Coordinator, at 703–787–1292. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Oil 

Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) 

strengthened section 24 of the OCSLA 

Amendments of 1978. Subtitle B of OPA 

90, titled ‘‘Penalties,’’ increased the 

amount of the civil penalty from a 

maximum of $10,000 to a maximum of 

$20,000 per violation for each day of 

noncompliance. More importantly, in 

cases where a failure to comply with 

applicable regulations constitutes or 

constituted a threat of serious, 

irreparable, or immediate harm or 

damage to life (including fish and other 

aquatic life); property; any mineral 

deposit; or the marine, coastal, or 

human environment; OPA 90 provided 

the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) 

with the authority to assess a civil 

penalty without regard to the 

requirement of expiration of a period of 

time allowed for corrective action. 

The provisions of OPA 90 also require 

the Secretary to adjust the maximum 

civil penalty to reflect any increases in 

the Consumer Price Index. Every 3 

years, MMS analyzes the civil penalty 

maximum amount in conjunction with 

the CPI prepared by the U.S. 

Department of Labor. If an adjustment is 

necessary, MMS informs the public 

through the Federal Register of the new 

maximum amount. The MMS has 

published regulations adjusting the civil 

penalty assessment to $25,000 on 

August 8, 1997 (62 FR 42668), and to 

$30,000 on November 28, 2003 (68 FR 

61622). 

Between August 18, 1990, and 

January 2007, MMS initiated 583 civil 

penalty reviews. Operators have paid 

459 civil penalties for a total of 

$15,370,792 in fines. 

On September 1, 1997, the Associate 

Director for Offshore Minerals 

Management issued a notice informing 

lessees and operators of Federal oil, gas, 

and sulphur leases in the OCS that 

MMS will annually publish a summary 

of OCS civil penalties paid. The annual 

summary will highlight the identity of 

the party, the regulation violated, and 

the amount paid. The following table 

provides a listing of the 41 penalties 

paid between January 1, 2006, and 

December 31, 2006. The total amount 

collected was $1,480,000. A quarterly 

update of the list is posted on MMS’s 

home page, http://www.mms.gov/ 

civilpenalties/CP_2006.HTM.

Nuevo Energy Company .............. On February 16, 2004, a transformer on a variable speed drive 

(VSD) unit over-heated and caught fire. A Minerals Management 

Service (MMS) investigation of the incident determined the fire, 

which was confined to the motor control center room, was due 

to the following causes: The electrical overload protection on the 

VSD had been placed in a non-functional mode. High amperage 

from a downhole electric submersible pump caused transformer 

to overload on the VSD, which subsequently overheated. Melting metal from the transformer dripped into a pan of threading 

oil below the transformer. A cotton glove that was laying in the 

pan of threading oil ignited. The resultant fire was extinguished 

by platform personnel investigating the source of smoke from 

the motor control center.
