You may conduct G&G scientific research activities related to hard minerals on the OCS only after you obtain a BOEM-approved permit or file a notice.
(a) Permit. You must obtain a permit if the research activities you want to conduct involve:
(1) Using solid or liquid explosives;
(2) Drilling a deep stratigraphic test; or
(3) Developing data and information for proprietary use or sale.
(b) Notice. If you conduct research activities (including federally funded research) not covered by paragraph (a) of this section, you must file a notice with the regional director at least 30 days before you begin. If you cannot file a 30-day notice, you must provide oral notification before you begin and follow up in writing. You must also inform BOEM in writing when you conclude your work.
