The Department of Interior is Back on the Internet

The MMS is back on the net
The Minerals Management Service website has been down for several weeks, but is back now.
The entire Department of Interior was ordered off the net earlier this month by a court order invloving Native American royalties. The MMS (Minerals Management Service), which regulates most of the offshore oil and gas industry, is part of the Department of Interior and had to disconnect from the net. After judicial relief the agency is back on the net. E-mail sent to members for the past few weeks may have been returned. In addition to the MMS, the USGS and Bureau of Indian Affairs were involved.
