Semiannual Regulatory Agenda
Office of the Secretary, Interior.
Semiannual regulatory agenda.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This notice provides the
semiannual agenda of rules scheduled
for review or development between fall
2018 and fall 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
SUMMARY:
Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street
NW, Washington, DC 20240.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You
should direct all comments and
inquiries about these rules to the
appropriate agency contact. You should
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 202–208–3181.
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.
This edition of the Unified Agenda of
Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory
Actions includes The Regulatory Plan,
which appears in both the online
Unified Agenda and in part II of the
Federal Register that includes the
Unified Agenda. The Department’s
Statement of Regulatory Priorities is
included in the Plan.
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withdrawn rules that were placed on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rules listed as withdrawn under this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 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, and
requests proposals from Indian tribes
that wish to establish special migratory
game bird hunting regulations on
Federal Indian reservations and ceded
lands. 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 rules scheduled
for review or development between fall 2018 and fall 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: You should direct all comments and
inquiries about these rules to the appropriate agency contact. You
should 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 202-208-3181.
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.
This edition of the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and
Deregulatory Actions includes The Regulatory Plan, which appears in
both the online Unified Agenda and in part II of the Federal Register
that includes the Unified Agenda. The Department's Statement of
Regulatory Priorities is included in the Plan.
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.

Director, Executive Secretariat and Regulatory Affairs.

Completed Actions
316. Migratory Bird Hunting; 2018-2019 Migratory Game Bird Hunting
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: This is a series of rulemaking actions to establish
annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the
2018-19 hunting season. We annually prescribe outside limits
(frameworks), within which States may select hunting seasons. We also
request proposals from Indian tribes that wish to establish special
migratory bird hunting regulations on Federal Indian reservations and
ceded lands. 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.

Proposed Rule Stage
317. Risk Management, Financial Assurance and Loss Prevention
E.O. 13771 Designation: Other.
Legal Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.
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.
