3月5日（路透社）- 特朗普政府周四表示，将废除拜登政府时期的一项规定，该规定要求部分石油和天然气公司在停业时预留数十亿美元用于石油平台的退役处置。
美国内政部在一份声明中表示，新规定每年将为该行业节省4.84亿美元的合规成本，此举与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普放松行业监管的努力一致。

- 特朗普政府的内政部表示，这些成本由小企业承担，改革将释放资金用于投资和创造就业机会。
- 该提案将在《联邦公报》上公布，并将接受公众意见60天。
- 2024年政府问责局的一份报告发现，如果离岸石油和天然气公司未能履行退役义务，政府将面临数十亿美元的财务风险。

March 5 (Reuters) – The Trump administration said on Thursday it would replace a Biden-era rule that required some oil and gas companies to set aside billions of dollars in extra funds for decommissioning oil platforms if they go out of business.
The new rule will save the industry $484 million a year in compliance costs, the U.S. Interior Department said in a statement, a move aligned with U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to loosen regulations on industry.

Here are more details:
- The Biden administration’s 2024 rule required oil and gas companies to provide $6.9 billion in new bonds or other financial assurances to protect taxpayers from cleanup costs in the event of bankruptcy.
- Trump’s Interior Department said the costs fell on small businesses and changes would free up funds for investment and job growth.
- The proposal will be published in the Federal Register and be available for public comment for 60 days.
- A 2024 Government Accountability Office report found the government was exposed to billions in financial risks if offshore oil and gas companies failed to meet their decommissioning obligations.
