The four district offices will continue to function as districts have in the past, i.e., approval of lease operations and performance of inspections and accident investigations, with full responsibility for the application and enforcement of the OCS Operating Regulations within the identified areas. The Lake Charles and Corpus Christi Subdistricts will be responsible for the performance of field inspections and accident investigations within the identified areas.

As of October 1, 1988, all applicable paperwork (Applications for Permit to Drill, Sundry Notices, Well Completion Reports, and other required information) will be submitted to the appropriate district office. The same paperwork applicable to operations within the Corpus Christi and Lake Charles Subdistricts will be submitted to the Lake Jackson District office.
