The National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling is a bipartisan Presidential Commission, established by Executive Order 13543 signed by Barack Obama on May 21, 2010, that is “tasked with providing recommendations on how [the United States] can prevent – and mitigate the impact of – any future spills that result from offshore drilling.” It came about as a result of the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.[1]
