It became so under the oil men of the Bush administration. But Salazar did little to nothing about it after he was appointed director of MMS when Obama became President.

I don't think it was high on the to-do list, considering Obama inherited an impending depression and two wars - but that is not an excuse for no change occurring within that agency in the past 16 months.
