BSEE proposes revisions to Well Control Rule

Wed, 05/16/2018 - 9:45am

Some recent editorials and news stories have falsely characterized regulatory review efforts currently underway at the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, apparently without having actually read the proposed revisions. One editorial in the Houston Chronicle expressed worries that many, including the U.S. Government and our agency, commonly referred to as BSEE, might have forgotten the lessons of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon tragedy and other offshore incidents. For the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement nothing could be further from the truth.

Taxpayers reminded of extension deadline

Tue, 05/08/2018 - 1:38pm

Louisiana taxpayers who need more time to file their state individual income taxes must request extensions before the May 15, filing deadline to avoid late-filing penalties.

An extension provides more time to prepare and file a Louisiana individual income tax return. 

It does not grant additional time to pay any taxes due. 

Tax payments received after the return due date are subject to interest and late-payment penalties.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, the Louisiana Wildlife Federation and the Louisiana Outdoor Writers Association are seeking submissions for the 2017 Youth Hunter of the Year contest. The contest, for the 2017 calendar year, is open to Louisiana boys and girls ages 15 and younger.

 Did you have a special hunt this past year? Harvested your first game animal or bird? Maybe just a hunting trip made great by sharing time in the outdoor with family and friends? 

Regardless, you could be a candidate for our male and female Youth Hunter of the Year contest.
