That was then and this
is now.
Yesterday, (Mar 5)the
Department of the Interior said that it was proposing updates to the 2024 rule
freeing up billions of dollars for investment, exploration, production and job
growth.
The proposal would
roll back requirements from the 2024 decommissioning guarantees rule that, says
Interior, forced companies to set aside about $6.9 billion in supplemental
financial assurance. It says that “roughly $6 billion of that burden would have
fallen on small businesses, which make up most of the operators on the Outer
Continental Shelf. The change is expected to save industry about $484 million
each year in compliance costs.
“For too long,
Washington red tape has strangled American energy producers and held back small
businesses,” said Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. “President Trump is
delivering on his promise to put American workers first, cut burdensome
regulations and unleash our vast energy potential. These updates will free up
billions of dollars for exploration and development, create good-paying jobs
and unlock domestic energy production so we are never forced to rely on foreign
adversaries for the resources that power our economy.”
The Bureau of Ocean
Energy Management, or BOEM, is acting in response to President Trump’s
Executive Order 14154, “Unleashing American Energy.”
The Department says that the proposal would
modernize how BOEM evaluates financial risks and lower the amounts companies
must set aside for future decommissioning. By using updated risk metrics and
data from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, BOEM would ensure
taxpayer protections remain in place while allowing companies to invest more
capital in new projects.
Interior says the
proposal maintains strong accountability for lessees and grant holders under
the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act but reduces excessive financial barriers
that have slowed growth.
The proposed changes will be
published in the Federal Register with a 60-day public comment period.
