Codification of Onshore Orders 1, 2, 6,
and 7; Correction
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
AGENCY:
On June 16, 2023, the Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) published a
final rule that codified Onshore Order
1—Approval of Operations; Onshore
Order 2—Drilling Operations on Federal
and Indian Oil and Gas Leases; Onshore
Order 6—Hydrogen Sulfide Operations;
and Onshore Order 7—Disposal of
Produced Water into the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR). This action
corrects two cross references in that
regulation.
SUMMARY:
Effective on November 1, 2023.
You may send inquiries or
suggestions to Director (630), Bureau of
Land Management, 1849 C St. NW,
Room 5646, Washington, DC 20240;
Attention: RIN 1004–AE90.

should use the relay services offered
within their country to make
international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final
codification rule (June 16, 2023, 88 FR
39514), placed the four Onshore Orders
into the CFR without making any
substantive changes to their content.
The only changes made to the four
Onshore Orders were related to
formatting, such as adding new section
and paragraph designations, so that the
Orders conform to the Office of the
Federal Register’s Document Drafting
Handbook requirements. Since the four
Onshore Orders were duly promulgated
through prior notice-and-comment
rulemakings, and the final rule did not
change them, the BLM codified the
orders in the CFR as a final rule without
any further public comment.
The technical amendment that is the
subject of this correction is prompted by
the inclusion of two incorrect cross
references in the final codification rule.
During the process of preparing the final
rule for publication and updating cross
references throughout the document, the
BLM inadvertently included incorrect
cross references in a portion of the final
rule that pertain to blowout preventer
testing requirements. These
requirements are found at 43 CFR
3172.6. These testing requirements have
been in effect since 1988.
List of Subjects in 43 CFR Part 3170
Administrative practice and
procedure, Disposal of produced water,
Drilling operations, Flaring,
Government contracts, Hydrogen sulfide
operations, Indians-lands, Immediate
assessments, Mineral royalties, Oil and
gas exploration, Oil and gas
measurement, Public lands—mineral

Accordingly, 43 CFR part 3170 is
corrected by making the following
correcting amendments:

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants; Reclassifying Mitracarpus
Polycladus From Endangered to
Threatened With a Section 4(d) Rule
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), are
reclassifying Mitracarpus polycladus (a
plant, no common name) from
endangered to threatened (downlist)
under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (Act). This action is
based on our evaluation of the best
available scientific and commercial
information, which indicates that the
species’ status has improved such that
it is not currently in danger of
extinction throughout all or a significant
portion of its range, but that it is still
likely to become so in the foreseeable
future. We are also finalizing a rule
issued under section 4(d) of the Act that
provides for the conservation of the
species.
DATES: This rule is effective December 1,
2023.
ADDRESSES: The proposed rule, this
final rule, and supporting documents
are available at https://www.fws.gov/
office/caribbean-ecological-services/
