Notice
to Lessees and Operators (NTL) of Federal Oil, Gas,
and Sulphur Leases in the Outer Continental Shelf
Redesignation of 30 CFR Part
250--Oil and Gas and
Sulphur Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf
NTL98-9N,
including three attachments, is also available for download in Adobe's Portable Document
Format (PDF).
This notice is issued to advise you that the Minerals
Management Service (MMS) published a direct final rule (5/29/98, 63 FR 29477) that
renumbers each section in 30 CFR part 250
(referred to as the "Redesignation" rule).
The MMS is in the process of updating and revising various
subparts under part 250. To ease the revision process and to allow room for future
expansion of material, MMS needs to allow more flexibility within each subpart of these
regulations. The redesignation of the 30 CFR part 250 regulations will allow MMS to
logically format the subparts in the future without further renumbering.
We explained in the preamble to the Redesignation rule that
MMS is merely renumbering existing sections; the rule does not change any of the
requirements. All current guidelines and directives (such as Notices or Letters to Lessees
and Operators) remain in effect until they are updated to revise the references and are
superseded or rescinded. The MMS will accomplish these updates as expeditiously as
possible.
The MMS recognizes that you may also require some time to
update these changes in your various submissions that may reference part 250 citations.
Therefore, although the Redesignation rule will be effective June 30, 1998, we are
allowing an implementation period of an additional 90 days after the effective date during
which MMS will accept submissions containing references to either the former section
numbers or the redesignated section numbers.
The redesignation (renumbering) of 30 CFR part 250 will be
codified in the next bound edition of the "Code of Federal Regulations." In the
interim, we are attaching several documents we hope will assist you in understanding and
implementing the changes. They are:
1. Table of Contents for 30 CFR part 250. The former
section number is shown in parentheses next to the redesignated section number.
2. Documents Incorporated by Reference table in the
redesignated §250.101 (formerly §250.1). This table shows only the redesignated section
numbers.
3. Cross-reference of the citations contained throughout
part 250. This listing shows both the former section numbers and the redesignated section
numbers.
4. Federal Register notice of final rulemaking.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Kumkum Ray at
(703) 787-1600.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Statement: This

and Budget.
