Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, left, signed a Secretarial Order on Monday that changed the name of the Minerals Management Service (MMS) to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (“Bureau of Ocean Energy” or “BOE” or "BOEMRE). Salazar split up the agency that oversees offshore drilling to avoid "conflicting missions" of revenue collection and safety oversight.

Secretary of the Interior Salazar also swore-in former Justice Department Inspector General Michael Bromwich, right, on Monday to lead reforms at BOE that will strengthen oversight and policing of offshore oil and gas development. (MMS Press Release)
