Report deadline extended on failed Deepwater Horizon BOP

USCG and BOEMRE officials said they granted the extension to allow additional time for testing the BOP and also to provide more time to prepare for a final public hearing on the forensic evidence. The hearing tentatively is scheduled for the week of Jan. 24, 2011.
