The Hill: The Interior Department's safety arm will soon increase its physical inspection time for offshore drilling.
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) announced Monday that the new plan will make inspections more efficient and reduce taxpayer spending significantly — dropping costs by nearly $20 million over 3 1/2 years.
“We streamlined how inspectors do their job offshore, while achieving a significant cost-savings,” said Michael Saucier, a supervisor in the Gulf of Mexico region, in a statement. “This new process will allow BSEE inspectors to increase physical inspection time on offshore oil and gas facilities.”
