{"abstract":"This interim final rule implements certain safety measures recommended in the report entitled, \"Increased Safety Measures for Energy Development on the Outer Continental Shelf\" (Safety Measures Report), dated May 27, 2010. The President directed the Department of the Interior to develop the Safety Measures Report to identify measures necessary to improve the safety of oil and gas exploration and development on the Outer Continental Shelf in light of the Deepwater Horizon event on April 20, 2010, and resulting oil spill. To implement the practices recommended in the Safety Measures Report, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement is amending drilling regulations related to well control, including: subsea and surface blowout preventers, well casing and cementing, secondary intervention, unplanned disconnects, recordkeeping, well completion, and well plugging.","action":"Interim final rule with request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement","name":"Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement Bureau","id":568,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/ocean-energy-management-regulation-and-enforcement-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/568","parent_id":253,"slug":"ocean-energy-management-regulation-and-enforcement-bureau"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2010/10/14/2010-25256.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":250,"title":30}],"citation":"75 FR 63346","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2010-12-13","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: This rule becomes effective on October 14, 2010.
