met. BSEE monitors the records 

concerning pipeline inspections and 

tests to ensure safety of operations and 

protection of the environment and to 

schedule witnessing trips and 

inspections. Information is also 

necessary to determine the point at 

which the DOI or Department of 

Transportation (DOT) has regulatory 

responsibility for a pipeline and to be

not the same as the pipeline ROW

Pipeline Right-of-Way Grant, to track 

pipeline ROW holders; as well as use 

this information to update the corporate 

database that is used to determine what 

leases are available for a Lease Sale and 

the ownership of all OCS leases. 

We are adding a new Form BSEE– 

0135, Designation of Right-of-Way 

Operator, to identify who has the 

authority to act on the ROW grant 

holder’s behalf to fulfill obligations 

under the OCS Lands Act; as well as, 

BSEE may provide to the designated 

ROW operator written or oral 

instructions in securing compliance 

with the ROW grant in accordance with 

applicable laws and regulations.
