Sec. 250.163  If I have a State lease, will MMS grant me a right-of-use and easement?

    (a) MMS may grant a lessee of a State lease located adjacent to or 
accessible from the OCS a right-of-use and easement on the OCS.
    (b) MMS will only grant a right-of-use and easement under this 
paragraph to enable a State lessee to conduct and maintain a device that 
is permanently or temporarily attached to the seabed (i.e., a platform, 
artificial island, or installation). The lessee must use the device to 
explore for, develop, and produce oil and gas from the adjacent or 
accessible State lease and for other operations related to these 
activities.
