ACTION:
Pursuant to the National

U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National Park
Service (NPS) announces the
availability of the Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (DEIS) for the
Nonfederal Oil and Gas Regulations (36
CFR part 9, subpart B) Revisions.
DATES: The NPS will accept comments
on the DEIS from the public for a period
of 60 days following publication by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
of the Notice of Availability of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement in the
Federal Register. We will also announce
the dates, times and location to solicit
public comments on the DEIS through
the NPS Planning, Environment, and
Public Comment (PEPC) Web site at
https://parkplanning.nps.gov/DEIS9B
and media outlets. A web link to a prerecorded webinar providing an
overview of the project will also be

The DEIS
evaluates the impacts of three
alternatives, including the following
alternative elements:
• Elimination of two regulatory
provisions that exempt 60% of the oil
and gas operations in NPS units. All
operators in NPS units would be
required to comply with the 9B
regulations.
• Elimination of the financial
assurance (bonding) cap. Financial
assurance would be equal to the
reasonable estimated cost of site
reclamation.
• Improving enforcement authority by
incorporating existing NPS penalty
provisions. Law enforcement staff
would have authority to write citations
for noncompliance with the regulations.
• Authorizing compensation to the
federal government for new access on
federal lands outside the boundary of an
operator’s mineral right.
• Reformatting the regulations to
make it easier to identify an operator’s
information requirements and operating
standards that apply to each type of
operation.
If you wish to comment
electronically, you may submit your
comments online at the PEPC Web site
by visiting https://parkplanning.nps.gov/
