At the same time, the Administration is moving to alleviate regulatory burdens on industry operations, most recently by proposing to roll-back certain safety requirements and structural reforms put into place after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. What are the implications of the Trump Administration policies? Join EPIC for a conversation with Tommy Beaudreau, former Chief of Staff at the Department of Interior and the first-ever Director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. The conversation will be moderated by Mark Templeton, director of the Abrams Environmental Law Clinic at UChicago Law School. RSVP today! Questions? Contact Bethel Haile.
