From page 106...
... Under the alternative inspection programs the platform operator would continue to be responsible for performing all the routine tests, on the schedule MMS has prescribed; the thing that would be new is that now he would be required on demand to send records of any of these test results to the MMS (probably, he also would have to accommodate an MMS prescribed report format)
From page 107...
... If the operator is found to have been falsifying records, appropriate penalties would be applied, ranging from more frequent unannounced inspections to shut-ins, to criminal charges. The committee believes that it is feasible to develop valid sampling schedules for the industry with inspection increments based on the comparability of the operator's reports with his operating history and those of other operators, as well as test failures encountered in the course of the onsite inspection.
