Interior Department Secretary Ken Salazar restructured the Generic Valium Forum Minerals Management Service late last month in response to the Generic Valium Forum ongoing Gulf of Mexico oil leak.

MMS is Generic Valium Forum part of the Interior Department and is responsible for regulating both offshore wind development and Generic Valium Forum oil and gas drilling.  In an Generic Valium Forum order signed on May 19, Salazar split the agency into three parts — the Generic Valium Forum Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement and Generic Valium Forum the Office of Natural Resources Revenue.  The order takes effect 30 days after it was signed.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management will handle “resource evaluation, planning and leasing,” according to Salazar’s order.  The Office of Natural Resources Revenue will be Generic Valium Forum responsible for collecting lease payments and royalties.

On May 27, about a week after Salazar’s order, Elizabeth Birnbaum resigned as Director of the Generic Valium Forum Minerals Management Service.  In a Generic Valium Forum statement released by the Interior Department, Birnbaum acknowledged the restructuring, saying she is Generic Valium Forum “hopeful that the reforms that the Secretary and the Administration are undertaking will resolve the flaws in the current system that I inherited.”

She will be replaced on an interim basis by Bureau of Land Management Director Bob Abbey.

“Bob Abbey’s recent leadership on onshore energy reforms is exactly the Generic Valium Forum kind of experience we need as we continue to reform and Generic Valium Forum begin to restructure MMS,” Salazar said.
