Offshore energy archaeology rule canceled
The law cancels the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management rule on “Protection of Marine Archaeological Resources.” That rule, published September 3, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 71160), now has no force or effect. Offshore energy companies, contractors, and vessel operators no longer have to follow the canceled rule. This lowers their compliance costs tied to that rule. It also removes added federal protections for shipwrecks and other submerged cultural sites.
