  <description><![CDATA[ MMS is modifying its regulations which govern Suspensions of 
Operations (SOOs) for oil and gas leases on the OCS. The revision will 
allow MMS to grant an SOO a to lessee or operator to encourage the 
drilling of ultradeep wells (i.e., wells below 25,000 feet true 
vertical depth below the datum at mean sea level). MMS is making this 
revision because of the added complexity and costs associated with 
planning and drilling an ultradeep well. MMS expects that this 
revision will lead to increased drilling of ultradeep wells and 
increased domestic production.
