The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEM) recently announced that Director Michael R. Bromwich will kick off a series of fact-finding forums in New Orleans, La. on Wednesday, August 4, 2010. The forums are designed to collect information and views about deepwater drilling safety reforms, well containment, and oil spill response, which Director Bromwich will consider in evaluating whether to recommend any modifications to the scope or duration of the deepwater drilling suspensions announced by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on July 12, 2010.
During these forums, Director Bromwich will be briefed by panels of experts from academia, the environmental community, and the oil and gas industry on technical issues related to deepwater drilling and workplace safety, well containment, and oil spill response. The forums also will provide an opportunity for input from federal, state and local leaders on these same issues.
The forums will be open to the public. Members of the public will be encouraged to submit comment via forms provided at the forums, by mail or online.
Additional forums will be held in Biloxi, MS and Lafayette, LA. | |
