Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 98 / Monday, May 21, 2012 / Notices June 29, 2012, to provide feedback on the stakeholder assessment and recommended options for establishing the U.S. multi-stakeholder group. During the May 18–June 29 public comment period, three public listening sessions, a public webinar, and a public workshop will be held as listed previously in this notice. Details on participating in the webinar will be available from Ben Nussdorf and online at www.doi.gov/EITI. Background: In September 2011, President Barack Obama announced the United States’ commitment to participate in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative. EITI is a signature initiative of the U.S. National Action Plan for the international Open Government Partnership and offers a voluntary framework for governments and companies to publicly disclose in parallel the revenues paid and received for extraction of oil, gas and minerals owned by the state. The design of each framework is country-specific, and is developed through a multi-year, consensus based process by a multistakeholder group comprised of government, industry and civil society representatives. On October 25, President Obama named Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar as the U.S. Senior Official responsible for implementing USEITI. In response, Secretary Salazar posted a White House blog the same day, committing to work with industry and civil society to implement USEITI. For further information on EITI, please visit the USEITI Web page at https:// www.doi.gov/EITI. Dated: May 16, 2012. Amy Holley, Acting Assistant Secretary, Policy, Management and Budget.
