The MMS is concerned that lessees may not be familiar with provisions in MMS regulations that provide for the use of new or alternative technology procedures. The MMS encourages lessees to use new technology and procedures that offer a greater degree of safety and environmental protection. If certain aspects of a lessee's proposal deviate from or are not covered by MMS regulations, departures may be granted in accordance with 30 CFR 250.103.
Oral presentations are welcome.
The District or Regional Supervisor will respond to each proposal in writing. This notice does not impose additional information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
