A bill to amend the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to establish fitness to operate standards and decommissioning escrow accounts for offshore oil and gas operators, and for other purposes.

This bill would change the law that governs oil and gas drilling in ocean waters owned by the federal government. It appears to set rules about whether companies are qualified to operate offshore drilling operations and would require those companies to set aside money in special savings accounts to pay for removing equipment when drilling is finished. No official summary is available for this bill.
