NOIA applauds Secretary Burgum’s actions on offshore energy

The National Ocean Industries Association expressed its strong support for the series of Secretarial Orders signed by Secretary Doug Burgum to unleash America's energy potential. NOIA President Erik Milito made the following statement:

"NOIA strongly supports Secretary Doug Burgum’s decisive actions to strengthen American energy security, reinforce national security, and unleash the full potential of the U.S. offshore energy industry. These Secretarial Orders send a powerful message: American energy leadership is back.

"By addressing burdensome regulatory barriers—including a much-needed reassessment of the inadequate 2024-2029 offshore oil and gas leasing program—these actions will align U.S. energy policy with the nation’s current and future needs. They will enhance energy security, bolster national defense, grow our economy, and keep energy affordable for every household and business, reducing reliance on foreign adversaries.

"By restoring regulatory certainty, attracting investment, and creating high-quality jobs while maintaining high levels of environmental stewardship, these reforms will strengthen America’s position as the global energy leader. NOIA looks forward to working with Secretary Burgum and DOI leadership to implement these critical policies and secure a stronger offshore energy future."
