DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Minerals Management Service


Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Civil Penalties

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service (MMS), Interior.

ACTION: Notice summarizing OCS Civil Penalties Paid, January 1, 2000, 
through December 31, 2000.

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

SUMMARY: This notice provides a listing of civil penalties paid January 
1, 2000, through December 31, 2000, for violations of the OCS Lands 
Act. The goal of the MMS OCS Civil Penalties Program is to assure safe 
and clean operations on the OCS. Through the pursuit, assessment, and 
collection of civil penalties and referrals for the consideration of 
criminal penalties, the program is designed to encourage compliance 
with OCS statutes and regulations. The purpose of publishing the 
penalties summary is to provide information to the public on violations 
of special concern in OCS operations and to provide an additional 
incentive for safe and environmentally sound operations.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Greg Gould (Program Coordinator), 
(703) 787-1591.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) 
strengthened section 24 of the OCS Lands Act Amendments of 1978. 
Subtitle B of OPA 90, titled ``Penalties,'' increased the amount of the 
civil penalty from a maximum of $10,000 to a maximum of $20,000 per 
violation for each day of noncompliance. More importantly, in cases 
where a failure to comply with applicable regulations constitutes or 
constituted a threat of serious, irreparable, or immediate harm or 
damage to life (including fish and other aquatic life); property; any 
mineral deposit; or the marine, coastal, or human environment; OPA 90 
provided the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) with the authority 
to assess a civil penalty without regard to the requirement of 
expiration of a period of time allowed for corrective action.
    On August 8, 1997 (62 FR 42668), MMS published new regulations 
implementing the civil penalty provisions of the OCS Lands Act. Written 
in ``plain English,'' the new question-and-answer format provides a 
better understanding of the OCS civil penalty process. In addition, the 
provisions of OPA 90 require the Secretary to adjust the maximum civil 
penalty to reflect any increases in the Consumer Price Index. The new 
rule increased the maximum civil penalty to $25,000 per day, per 
violation. Please note, subsequent to publishing the new regulations, 
MMS made several corrections and amendments, including the appeals 
procedures. These were published at 63 FR 42711, 8/11/98; 64 FR 9066, 
2/24/99; 64 FR 9065, 2/24/99 and 64 FR 26257, 5/13/99.
    Between August 18, 1990, and July 31, 2001, MMS initiated 363 civil 
penalty reviews. The MMS assessed 263 civil penalties, collected 
$7,497,405 in fines, 55 cases were dismissed, and 45 cases are pending.

    On September 1, 1997, the Associate Director for Offshore Minerals 
Management issued a notice informing lessees and operators of Federal 
oil, gas, and sulphur leases on the OCS that MMS will annually publish 
a summary of OCS civil penalties paid. The annual summary will 
highlight the identity of the party, the regulation violated, and the 
amount paid. The following table provides a listing of the penalties 
paid between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2000. Please note that 
MMS published a direct final rule (5/29/98, 63 FR 29477) that renumbers 
each section in 30 CFR part 250. A quarterly update of this list, along 
with additional information related to the renumbering of the 
regulations, is posted on the MMS worldwide web homepage, http://www.mms.gov.

API RP--American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice
BOP--blow out preventer
BSL--burner safety low
