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 2023 and spring 2024. 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)
513–0357.
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
ADDRESSES:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
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withdrawn rules that were placed on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rules listed as withdrawn under this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.

Affairs, Executive Secretariat and Regulatory

Abstract: On October 12, 2020, the
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
(BOEM) and Bureau of Safety and

streamline specific regulatory
requirements associated with the
operational and procedural aspects of
applicable decommissioning
responsibilities of OCS lessees and grant
holders. BOEM will continue to
evaluate and develop a comprehensive
set of regulations to manage the risks
and financial obligations associated
with industry activities on the OCS and
pursue these actions in a separate
rulemaking under RIN 1010–AE14.

rule would incorporate climate
resiliency and restoration through
conservation and preservation in the
management of the public lands. Under
authority provided in the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act (FLPMA),
including section 102(a)(8) (43 U.S.C.
1701(a)(8)), and other relevant
authorities, this rule will incorporate
climate resiliency and restoration
through conservation, defined as
protection and restoration, in the
management of the public lands
pursuant to the FLPMA. As part of
identifying uses and tools to carry out
restoration and mitigation activities, the
rule will apply land health standards to
all renewable resources and identify
conservation leases as a tool that BLM
will further define, including based on
public and stakeholder comments
through the NPRM.
This rule rests within 43 CFR 6000,
which includes Conservation and
Preservation, and would provide an
overarching framework governing
multiple resource areas to ensure land
health and sustained yield. This rule
will affirm existing policy direction for
restoration and conservation actions in
building and maintaining sustainable
land management practices to ensure
healthy and productive ecosystems for
current and future generations.

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 2023 and spring 2024. 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) 513-0357.
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.

Proposed Rule Stage
110. Revisions to Decommissioning Requirements on the OCS [1014-AA53]
Legal Authority: Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, 43 U.S.C. 1331
to 1356a
Abstract: This proposed rule would address issues relating to (1)
idle iron by adding a definition of this term to clarify that it
applies to idle wells and structures on active leases; (2) abandonment
in place of subsea infrastructure by adding regulations addressing when
BSEE may approve decommissioning-in-place instead of removal of certain
subsea equipment; and (3) other operational considerations.

When Filing an Appeal [1014-AA57]
Legal Authority: Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), 43
U.S.C. 1331 to 1356a
Abstract: This proposed rulemaking would clarify BSEE's existing
regulatory authority under 30 CFR 250.1409, which establishes criteria
that must be met before a party may proceed with an appeal of a civil
penalty pursuant to 30 CFR part 290. Before filing an appeal to the
Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA), an operator must either submit a
surety bond to BSEE's sister agency, BOEM, in the amount of the
penalty, or notify BOEM that they want their lease bond to be used as
the bond for the penalty amount.

Legal Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1334(a)
Abstract: On October 12, 2020, the Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM) and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement
(BSEE) published the joint proposed rule in the Federal Register (85 FR
65904). BSEE continued to pursue this rulemaking as a BSEE-only final
rule to revise policies and procedures concerning compliance with
decommissioning obligations for Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and
gas. The final rule clarifies and streamline specific regulatory
requirements associated with the operational and procedural aspects of
applicable decommissioning responsibilities of OCS lessees and grant
holders. BOEM will continue to evaluate and develop a comprehensive set
of regulations to manage the risks and financial obligations associated
with industry activities on the OCS and pursue these actions in a
separate rulemaking under RIN 1010-AE14.

119. Conservation and Landscape Health (Section 610 Review) [1004-AE92]
Legal Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1732(a)
Abstract: This final rule will clarify and support the principles
of multiple use and sustained yield in the management of the public
lands. This rule would incorporate climate resiliency and restoration
through conservation and preservation in the management of the public
lands. Under authority provided in the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act (FLPMA), including section 102(a)(8) (43 U.S.C.
1701(a)(8)), and other relevant authorities, this rule will incorporate
climate resiliency and restoration through conservation, defined as
protection and restoration, in the management of the public lands
pursuant to the FLPMA. As part of identifying uses and tools to carry
out restoration and mitigation activities, the rule will apply land
health standards to all renewable resources and identify conservation
leases as a tool that BLM will further define, including based on
public and stakeholder comments through the NPRM.
This rule rests within 43 CFR 6000, which includes Conservation and
Preservation, and would provide an overarching framework governing
multiple resource areas to ensure land health and sustained yield. This
rule will affirm existing policy direction for restoration and
conservation actions in building and maintaining sustainable land
management practices to ensure healthy and productive ecosystems for
current and future generations.
