Estimates come from the district-by-post model on logged enforcement delay and are converted to percent changes; district labels indicate RRC district codes.

Because the outcome is logged enforcement delay, the coefficient implies an approximate $(e^{0.3819}-1 \approx 46.5\%)$ relative increase in time-to-enforcement for offshore-regulating districts, holding the rest of the specification constant. Read jointly with the annual offshore differential results (Table C3 in the appendix), this pooled estimate should be interpreted as an average over uneven yearly effects, with the strongest divergences concentrated in 2023-2024. Substantively, H5 is supported as a structured heterogeneity result within the all-district analysis, but it should not be interpreted as isolating a single offshore causal mechanism, given that offshore jurisdiction is concentrated in districts 02/03/04. ### H3: Structural moderators
