II. Background and Purpose 

The Coast Guard published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the 

Federal Register on November 28, 2014 

entitled, ‘‘Requirements for MODUs and 

Other Vessels Conducting Outer 

Continental Shelf Activities With 

Dynamic Positioning Systems’’ (79 FR 

70943). The proposed rule would 

establish minimum design, operation, 

training, and manning standards for 

mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) 

and other vessels using dynamic 

positioning systems to engage in Outer 

Continental Shelf activities. Establishing 

these minimum standards is necessary 

to improve the safety of people and 

property involved in such operations, 

and the protection of the environment 

in which they operate. The rule would 

decrease the risk of a loss of position by 

a dynamically-positioned MODU or 

other vessel that could result in a fire, 

explosion, or subsea spill, and support 

the Coast Guard’s strategic goals of 

maritime safety and protection of 

natural resources. 

In the NPRM, we stated our intention 

to hold a public meeting, and to publish 

a notice to announce the location and 

date of that meeting (79 FR 70944). In 

order to allow sufficient time for the 

Coast Guard to hold such a meeting and 

receive any subsequent public 

comments on the NPRM, we are
