This is just a FYI about a name change. Typical tactic used to drop a tainted organization, similar to what was done with ACORN when they got some nasty annoying PR. It’s pretty shrewd because the record on the new name begins now and all the bad stuff MMS has done is just sort of buried.
Minerals Management Service (under Department of Interior)
Now Known as:
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement
