Summary
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is removing outdated references to other regulations in its rules about ocean energy development. This cleanup effort helps make the regulations clearer and easier to follow by removing links to rules that are no longer relevant or have been replaced.
Key Points
- 1BOEM is deleting cross-references (links to other rules) that are outdated or no longer apply to ocean energy operations
- 2This change simplifies the regulations and reduces confusion caused by references to rules that have been changed or eliminated
- 3The regulation primarily affects companies and organizations involved in offshore energy development and the agencies that oversee them
- 4This is a housekeeping measure that doesn't change the actual requirements for ocean energy projects, just how those requirements are organized and referenced
- 5The rule went into effect on July 22, 2025, and companies should review their compliance procedures to use the updated regulatory references
