Semiannual Regulatory Agenda
Office of the Secretary, Interior.
Semiannual regulatory agenda.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This notice provides the
semiannual agenda of Department of the
Interior (Department) rules scheduled
for review or development between
spring 2018 and spring 2019. The
Regulatory Flexibility Act and Executive
Order 12866 require publication of the
agenda.
SUMMARY:
Unless otherwise indicated,
all agency contacts are located at the
Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street
NW, Washington, DC 20240.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Please direct all comments and inquiries
about these rules to the appropriate
agency contact. Please direct general
comments relating to the agenda to the
Office of Executive Secretariat and
Regulatory Affairs, Department of the
Interior, at the address above or at (202)
208–5257.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With this
publication, the Department satisfies the
requirement of Executive Order 12866
that the Department publish an agenda
of rules that we have issued or expect
to issue and of currently effective rules
that we have scheduled for review.
Simultaneously, the Department
meets the requirement of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) to
publish an agenda in April and October
of each year identifying rules that will
have significant economic effects on a
substantial number of small entities. We
have specifically identified in the
agenda rules that will have such effects.
The complete Unified Agenda will be
published at www.reginfo.gov, in a
ADDRESSES:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
format that offers users enhanced ability
to obtain information from the agenda
database. Agenda information is also
available at www.regulations.gov, the
government-wide website for
submission of comments on proposed
regulations.
In some cases, the Department has
withdrawn rules that were placed on
previous agendas for which there has
been no publication activity or for
which a proposed or interim rule was
published. There is no legal significance
to the omission of an item from this
agenda. Withdrawal of a rule does not
necessarily mean that the Department
will not proceed with the rulemaking.
Withdrawal allows the Department to
assess the action further and determine
whether rulemaking is appropriate.
Following such an assessment, the
Department may determine that certain
rules listed as withdrawn under this
agenda are appropriate for
promulgation. If that determination is
made, such rules will comply with
Executive Order 13771.

Abstract: We propose to establish
annual hunting regulations for certain
migratory game birds for the 2018–2019
hunting season. We annually prescribe
outside limits (frameworks), within
which States may select hunting
seasons. This proposed rule provides
the regulatory schedule, describes the
proposed regulatory alternatives for the
2018–2019 duck hunting seasons,
requests proposals from Indian Tribes
that wish to establish special migratory
game bird hunting regulations on
Federal Indian reservations and ceded
lands, and requests proposals for the
2018 spring and summer migratory bird
subsistence season in Alaska. Migratory
game bird hunting seasons provide
opportunities for recreation and
sustenance; aid Federal, State, and
Tribal governments in the management
of migratory game birds; and permit
harvests at levels compatible with
migratory game bird population status
and habitat conditions.

Semiannual Regulatory Agenda
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior.
ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice provides the semiannual agenda of Department of
the Interior (Department) rules scheduled for review or development
between spring 2018 and spring 2019. The Regulatory Flexibility Act and
Executive Order 12866 require publication of the agenda.
ADDRESSES: Unless otherwise indicated, all agency contacts are located
at the Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street NW, Washington, DC
20240.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please direct all comments and
inquiries about these rules to the appropriate agency contact. Please
direct general comments relating to the agenda to the Office of
Executive Secretariat and Regulatory Affairs, Department of the
Interior, at the address above or at (202) 208-5257.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With this publication, the Department
satisfies the requirement of Executive Order 12866 that the Department
publish an agenda of rules that we have issued or expect to issue and
of currently effective rules that we have scheduled for review.
Simultaneously, the Department meets the requirement of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) to publish an agenda
in April and October of each year identifying rules that will have
significant economic effects on a substantial number of small entities.
We have specifically identified in the agenda rules that will have such
effects. The complete Unified Agenda will be published at
www.reginfo.gov, in a format that offers users enhanced ability to
obtain information from the agenda database. Agenda information is also
available at www.regulations.gov, the government-wide website for
submission of comments on proposed regulations.
In some cases, the Department has withdrawn rules that were placed
on previous agendas for which there has been no publication activity or
for which a proposed or interim rule was published. There is no legal
significance to the omission of an item from this agenda. Withdrawal of
a rule does not necessarily mean that the Department will not proceed
with the rulemaking. Withdrawal allows the Department to assess the
action further and determine whether rulemaking is appropriate.
Following such an assessment, the Department may determine that certain
rules listed as withdrawn under this agenda are appropriate for
promulgation. If that determination is made, such rules will comply
with Executive Order 13771.

Regulations
E.O. 13771 Designation: Fully or Partially Exempt.
Legal Authority: 16 U.S.C. 703 to 711; 16 U.S.C. 742a-j
Abstract: We propose to establish annual hunting regulations for
certain migratory game birds for the 2018-2019 hunting season. We
annually prescribe outside limits (frameworks), within which States may

wish to establish special migratory game bird hunting regulations on
Federal Indian reservations and ceded lands, and requests proposals for
the 2018 spring and summer migratory bird subsistence season in Alaska.
Migratory game bird hunting seasons provide opportunities for
recreation and sustenance; aid Federal, State, and Tribal governments
in the management of migratory game birds; and permit harvests at
levels compatible with migratory game bird population status and
habitat conditions.

142. Migratory Bird Hunting; 2019-2020 Migratory Game Bird
Hunting Regulations
E.O. 13771 Designation: Fully or Partially Exempt.
Legal Authority: 16 U.S.C. 703 to 712; 16 U.S.C. 742a-j
Abstract: We propose to establish annual hunting regulations for
certain migratory game birds for the 2019-2020 hunting season. We
annually prescribe outside limits (frameworks), within which States may
select hunting seasons. This proposed rule provides the regulatory
schedule, describes the proposed regulatory alternatives for the 2019-
2020 duck hunting seasons, requests proposals from Indian tribes that
wish to establish special migratory game bird hunting regulations on
Federal Indian reservations and ceded lands, and requests proposals for
the 2019 spring and summer migratory bird subsistence season in Alaska.
Migratory game bird hunting seasons provide opportunities for
recreation and sustenance; aid Federal, State, and tribal governments
in the management of migratory game birds; and permit harvests at
levels compatible with migratory game bird population status and
habitat conditions.

143. Risk Management, Financial Assurance and Loss Prevention
E.O. 13771 Designation: Other.
Legal Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1337(p), as amended
Abstract: As directed by E.O. 13795, BOEM has reconsidered its
financial assurance policies reflected in Notice to Lessees No. 2016-
N01 (September 12, 2016). This rule will modify the policies
established in the 2016 Notice to Lessees to ensure operator compliance
with lease terms while minimizing unnecessary regulatory burdens, and
codify the modifications.
