# §285.900. Who must meet the decommissioning obligations in this subpart?

- (a) Lessees are jointly and severally responsible for meeting decommissioning obligations for facilities on their leases, including all obstructions, as the obligations accrue and until each obligation is met.
- (b) Grant holders are jointly and severally liable for meeting decommissioning obligations for facilities on their grant, including all obstructions, as the obligations accrue and until each obligation is met.
- (c) If a lessee or grant holder has installed a facility on a lease or grant that was authorized by an authority other than BOEM and that approving authority has imposed a decommissioning obligation, such obligation will substitute for the requirements of this subpart. The decommissioning requirements in this subpart will apply to such a facility if the authorizing agency has not imposed or enforced a decommissioning obligation.
