contested by the petitioner(s) under this
section after considering information
and recommendations provided to the

Board, and from the HHS administrative
review conducted under paragraph (b)
of this section. HHS will transmit a
report of the decision to the
petitioner(s).
(d) If the Secretary decides under
paragraph (c) of this section to change
a designation under § 83.17(a) of this
part or a determination under § 83.16(c)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The regulations that are the subject of
this correcting amendment have been in
effect for more than 20 years. They
pertain specifically to onshore oil and
gas operations programs, and
particularly to the penalty provision for
knowingly submitting false, misleading,
or inaccurate reports or other
information required by the regulations,
taking oil or gas from a Federal or
Indian lease without authority, or
receiving such oil or gas knowing or
having reason to know it was stolen or
unlawfully diverted or removed from a
Federal or Indian lease site.
Need for Correction
When a final rule redesignated and
revised the pertinent sections in 1987, at
52 FR 5394, it created an error in a
cross-reference. This error is misleading
and needs clarification. The provision
assigns a criminal penalty for an act for
which a civil penalty is prescribed in
another section, referring to that other
section by number. However, the
section and paragraph number stated,
section 3163.4–1(b)(6), does not exist in
the current regulations, having been
redesignated as section 3163.2(f) in the
1987 rule. The 1987 rule failed to adjust
the cross-reference, which now needs to
be corrected to eliminate confusion.
