NOIA Welcomes Opportunity to Comment on Revisions to Offshore Production Safety Systems Rule
Washington, D.C. – National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) President Randall Luthi issued the following statement on revisions to the Production Safety Systems Rule proposed by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE):
“The proposed revisions to the Production Safety Systems Rule mark an integral step in the regulatory reform promised by President Trump, Interior Secretary Zinke and BSEE Director Angelle. Safety experts in the offshore oil and gas industry now have the opportunity to comment on this important regulation. This ‘second bite at the apple’ provides an opportunity for further dialogue, discussion and debate to assure the Nation’s offshore energy resources are developed safely and expeditiously – as required by the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. NOIA members also look forward to commenting on other important offshore rules currently under revision.”
