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 Fall 2022 and Fall 2023. 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) 208-3181.

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In some cases, the Department has withdrawn rules that were placed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rules listed as withdrawn under this agenda are appropriate for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.

Deputy Director of Policy and Regulatory Affairs, Executive Secretariat
and Regulatory Affairs.

Proposed Rule Stage

348. <bullet> Outer Continental Shelf Civil Penalties, Surety Bond
Requirements When Filing an Appeal [1014-AA57]

Legal Authority: Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), 43
U.S.C. 1331 to 1356a
Abstract: This 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.

Final Rule Stage

349. Oil and Gas and Sulfur Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf-
Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control Revisions [1014-AA52]

Legal Authority: Not Yet Determined
Abstract: This rulemaking would revise the Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) regulations published in the 2019
final rule entitled ``Oil and Gas and Sulfur Operations in the Outer
Continental Shelf-Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control
Revisions,'' 84 FR 21908 (May 15, 2019), for drilling, workover,
completion and decommissioning operations. In accordance with Executive
Order (E.O.) 13990 (Protecting Public Health and the Environment and
Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate

[[Page 11246]]

Crisis) and the E.O.'s accompanying ``President's Fact Sheet: List of
Agency Actions for Review,'' BSEE reviewed the 2019 final rule and
plans to propose updates to Subpart G of 30 CFR part 250 to ensure
operations are conducted safely and in an environmentally responsible
manner.

350. 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.

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 will continue 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 will clarify 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.

Legal Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1732(a)
Abstract: The Department of the Interior (DOI), Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) is drafting a rule to 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 pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and

[[Page 11248]]

Management Act (FLPMA) and other relevant authorities. This proposed
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 would affirm the important role of restoration and conservation
actions in building and maintaining sustainable land management
practices to ensure healthy and productive ecosystems for current and
future generations.

Abstract: On October 2, 2013, Congress enacted the Helium
Stewardship Act of 2013. This Act required the Department of the
Interior (DOI), through the Director of the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM), to begin offering helium for auction or sale on an annual basis.
Additionally, the Helium Stewardship Act of 2013 required BLM to
dispose of the Federal Helium System (including the Federal Helium
Reserve) as of September 30, 2021. Any excess helium and helium assets
remaining on September 30, 2021, will be transferred to the General
Services Administration (GSA), which will follow its statutory disposal
process. Federal In-Kind users will continue to have access to helium
until September 30, 2022, while the GSA completes its disposal process.
