You must make this notification before you sign a lease, sublease, or an assignment of record title interest or operating rights interest, or become a lease or unit operator.

(2) Require the person to:

(ii) Include the obligation to comply with 2 CFR part 180, subpart C in its contracts and other transactions.
(c) After you enter into a covered transaction, you must immediately notify BOEM in writing if you learn that:
(1) You failed to disclose pertinent information earlier; or
(2) Due to changed circumstances, you or your principals now meet any of the criteria in 2 CFR 180.800.
