What they regulate

BOEM (Interior) manages development of U.S. Outer Continental Shelf energy and mineral resources, including oil/gas and offshore renewables leasing.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. BOEM home — Offshore energy leasing and resource management — not a FERC market-participant licence.
