## Abstract

MMS is publishing this final rule to incorporate by reference into our regulations the 4th edition of American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice (RP) 14F (API RP 14F), "Recommended Practice for Design and Installation of Electrical Systems for Fixed and Floating Offshore Petroleum Facilities for Unclassified and Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 Locations." The updated document, 4th edition, will replace the 3rd edition of API RP 14F, which is already incorporated by reference into MMS regulations. The final rule will also add another document to be incorporated by reference for the first time into our regulations. The new document, API RP 14FZ, 1st edition, is titled "Recommended Practice for Design and Installation of Electrical Systems for Fixed and Floating Offshore Petroleum Facilities for Unclassified and Class I, Zone 0, Zone 1 and Zone 2 Locations." These revisions will ensure that lessees use the best available and safest technologies while operating in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).
