Regulating Offshore Energy and Minerals
Management
The BOEMRE offshore leasing and operations are governed by a wide
variety of laws, regulations, and other communications with the offshore industry.
The Federal Register notices
serve to advise the public of upcoming BOEMRE regulatory actions or proposals. Notices to Lessees are less formal
communications with operators and contractors that further clarify regulations. The Potential Incidents of
Noncompliance (PINC) list is the backbone of the the Bureau Inspection
Program. It gives our inspectors specific item-by-item checklists of what they should
look for when conducting inspections. Similarly, it provides operators and contractors
information about exactly what we're watching for during an inspection.
