SUMMARY: On May 11, 2012, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published

2013, the BLM published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking 
and request for comment. Key issues in the revised proposed rule 
include: the use of an expanded set of cement evaluation tools to help 
ensure that usable water zones have been isolated and protected from 
contamination and more detailed guidance on how trade secrets claims 
will be handled. The revised proposed rule would also provide 
opportunities for the BLM to coordinate standards and processes with 
individual States and tribes to reduce administrative costs and improve 
efficiency. This notice extends the public comment period on the 
revised proposed rule for 60 days beyond the initial comment period.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published May 24, 2013 
(78 FR 31636), is extended. Send your comments on this proposed rule to
