WASHINGTON — A former federal prosecutor took over Monday as director of a new government agency that oversees offshore drilling and other oil and gas development.
Michael R. Bromwich, 56, a former assistant U.S. attorney and Justice Department inspector general, will lead a reorganization of the agency formerly known as the Minerals Management Service.
Bromwich’s arrival came as Interior Secretary Ken Salazar signed an order renaming the agency the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, or BOE for short. The Associated Press
