		<description>The &lt;a href=&#039;http://www.mms.gov/ooc/press/2006/press0501.htm&#039; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;2006 press release&lt;/a&gt; from the Minerals Management Service says that 146 spills were reported and: 

&quot;Six spills of 1,000 barrels or greater were reported; the largest of these was 3,625 barrels of condensate reported by the Gulf South Pipeline Company in the Eugene Island Block 51 area.&quot;

However, just recently, the MMS released a web page called &quot;&lt;a href=&#039;http://www.mms.gov/SettingtheRecordStraight/EstimatedOil%20SpillsAsaResultofHurricanesKatrinaandRita.htm&#039; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Setting The Record Straight&lt;/a&gt;,&quot; which says &quot;There were no major 
spills (2,381 barrels per spill or greater) according to USCG official standards [USCG standard is at least 2,382 barrels to 
be called &#039;major&#039;].&quot;

Last time I checked, 3,625 barrels was greater than 2,381 barrels. So why isn&#039;t the largest spill listed in the new summary as a &quot;major&quot; spill?</description>
