NTL 2000-G01 - Functional Responsibility of MMS Regulations - January 27, 2000

This Notice to Lessees and Operators and Pipeline Right-of-way Holders (NTL) supersedes NTL 93-04 dated September 30, 1993. Since that NTL was issued, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) has made many changes to the regulations governing OCS operations. These changes include a total redesignation (renumbering) of the 30 CFR 250 regulations and the addition of two new Parts, 30 CFR 253 and 30 CFR 254. Also, final regulations have just been published that reorganize Subpart A of 30 CFR 250 (64 FR 72756, December 28, 1999). This NTL updates the regulatory citations and functional responsibilities in the Gulf of Mexico OCS Region (GOMR) and adds a statement on the Paperwork Reduction Act.
