Abstract
This rule implements a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Department of the Interior (DOI) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) regarding joint regulation of Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) pipelines. MMS regulations will apply to all OCS oil or gas pipelines located upstream of the points at which operating responsibility for the pipelines transfers from a producing operator to a transporting operator. This rule requires OCS producers and transporters to designate the transfer point.
