Public Forum on Well Control and Blowout Preventer Rule
Event  
Date(s)September 20, 2017(9:00 - 16:30)
Venue:BSEE Houston Office / Mickey Leland Federal Building
To ensure a complete and thorough review of the Well Control Rule (WCR), BSEE is soliciting input from interested parties to identify potential revisions to the rule that would significantly reduce regulatory burdens without significantly reducing safety and environmental protection on the OCS. BSEE will hold a public forum in Houston, TX to accept both written and oral presentations from interested parties. Participants in the forum may raise any issue and provide information relevant to the WCR. Examples of information that would be useful to BSEE's consideration include:
  • Specific rationale for any suggested changes to the WCR.

  • Identification of significant costs or other significant impacts on OCS operations resulting from any provision of the WCR that could be reduced through modifying the WCR.

  • Evidence that any suggested change to any provision of the WCR will not adversely affect safety or significantly increase risks to the environment.

  • Alternative requirements that could provide significant cost savings while ensuring an equivalent level of safety and environmental protection.

  • New information that was not provided to BSEE during the public comment period on the proposed WCR and that is relevant to any suggested changes to the final WCR.


Stakeholders interested in attending the Houston forum should register at www.bsee.gov/WCRForum by September 13, 2017, to ensure that space is available. You must also specify which session you would like to attend. Notify BSEE in advance if you would like to present information at the forum.
