REGULATION OF VESSELS. BOEMRE and the USCG agree to work cooperatively to avoid overlapping and duplicative regulatory regimes with regard to vessels involved with, or servicing, OREIs. For vessels inspected and certificated by the USCG, the participating agencies agree that the safety of vessel-related systems and equipment on those vessels will be regulated by the USCG if the USCG has an applicable regulation. If BOEMRE has a regulation or safety management system requirement applicable to a vessel system for which there is no USCG regulation, the participating agencies agree that BOEMRE regulation or safety management system requirement will apply unless the USCG objects to such application. In cases where the USCG objects, BOEMRE and the USCG agree to coordinate and collaborate on any regulatory amendments necessary to ensure vessel safety. The parties agree to collaborate early on in the OREI project review process to identify which vessels involved in the construction, operation, and maintenance of the OREI will be inspected and certificated by the USCG, and which ones will not.
