comments to interior on offshore oil well control revisions

The Institute for Policy Integrity opposes the Department of the Interior's intent to roll back the 2016 Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control Rule, asserting that the agency must analyze the lost societal benefits—including safety, environmental risk reduction, and reduced fatalities—before proceeding with the repeal.

• The Institute for Policy Integrity contends that the Department of the Interior has not offered a reasoned explanation for the repeal or modification of the Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control Rule, which was finalized in 2016 to improve offshore drilling safety following the Deepwater Horizon incident.
• The Department of the Interior is required to conduct an analysis of the societal benefits that would be lost by rolling back the 2016 safeguards, specifically citing environmental risk reduction, safety, industry cost savings, time savings, lower externality costs, and reduced fatalities.
