Eighth Coast Guard District; Interim Outer Continental Shelf 
Risk-Based Resource Allocation Methodology

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces the availability of an interim risk 
based resource allocation methodology for inspections of certain Outer 
Continental Shelf (OCS) units in the Eighth Coast Guard District (D8) 
area of responsibility (AOR). This interim methodology will be 
implemented for a five-month trial period beginning August 1, 2016. 
After the trial period, the methodology will be finalized within D8 and 
submitted to Coast Guard Headquarters (CG-CVC) for consideration at the 
national level.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before September 6, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2016-0640 or view documents mentioned in this notice as being available 
in the docket using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    This interim risk based resource allocation methodology is intended 
to improve implementation of the requirements contained in 33 CFR 
140.101(c), 143.120(c), and 143.210(a) by employing interagency 
consultation and by establishing increased focus on the industrial 
mission and regulatory compliance and casualty data. It builds upon the 
risk based matrix created for foreign Mobile Offshore Drilling Units 
(MODU), which was published in the Federal Register (76 FR 39885) by 
the Coast Guard in 2011 by applying similar principles to other OCS 
units and adding consultation with the Bureau of Safety and 
Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). This methodology will reallocate 
Coast Guard inspection resources from lower risk, fixed interval 
activities to higher risk activities prior to commencing an industrial 
mission. The Coast Guard will periodically evaluate MODUs and OCS 
facilities that either perform drilling or well-workover or are due for 
a Coast Guard regulatory inspection to assign an inspection priority 
and scope using risk matrices. For example, under this methodology 
Coast Guard inspection resources previously used to conduct an annual 
Certificate of Compliance inspection of a lower risk stacked MODU may 
be reallocated to conduct a higher risk inspection of any MODU or OCS 
facility with a drilling rig prior to commencement of drilling.

Outreach to the Offshore Operator's Committee

    On June 8, 2016, the Coast Guard conducted outreach to the offshore 
Operators' Committee at its annual general meeting in Houston, TX. The 
presentation, presentation script, and transcript of questions and 
answers from this outreach are available on the docket where indicated 
under ADDRESSES.
