The Regulatory Integrity for Gulf Energy Development Act of 2025 (RIGED Act) aims to ensure the uninterrupted operation of offshore oil and gas development by maintaining the validity of expired federal permits. It mandates that the Secretaries of Interior and Commerce continue applying the terms and conditions of expired permits for offshore oil and gas production to both existing and new permittees until new permits are officially issued. This continuity provision requires coordination with other federal agencies and allows for the formation of joint agency working groups to streamline the process. The bill also directs the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to similarly extend the terms of expired permits for water pollution control when new permits are pending for similar operations. Furthermore, the legislation addresses environmental compliance by deeming the 2020/2021 Biological Opinion on Federally Regulated Oil and Gas Program Activities in the Gulf of Mexico as sufficient for compliance with the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act. This provision ensures that offshore energy development activities can continue without interruption under these environmental statutes. This deemed compliance remains in effect until a new biological opinion is approved by the Secretary of the Interior or Commerce, superseding the existing one.
