Abstract
On May 20, 2025, the United States Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of the Secretary, published in the Federal Register a document entitled "DOI Regulatory Reform RFI" and invited public comments to assist in identifying existing regulations, guidance, reporting requirements, and other regulatory obligations that can be modified or repealed, consistent with applicable law, to ensure that DOI administrative actions do not undermine the national interest and that DOI achieves a meaningful reduction in regulatory and administrative burdens while continuing to meet statutory obligations, advance American energy independence, and ensure the responsible stewardship of the nation's public lands and resources. In order to provide additional opportunity for the public to further consider the RFI and submit comments, DOI has determined that reopening the comment period to have it open indefinitely is appropriate. Interior will continually review written input to determine whether additional regulations, guidance, or reporting requirements should be targeted for review and considered for suspension, revision, or rescission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the May 20, 2025 RFI (90 FR
21504) is to inform the public and gather feedback on potential
regulatory reform efforts associated with Executive Order 14154,
``Unleashing American Energy'' (90 FR 8353; Jan. 29, 2025), Executive
Order 14192, ``Unleashing Prosperity through Deregulation'' (90 FR
9065; Feb. 6, 2025), and Executive Order 14219, ``Ensuring Lawful
Regulation and Implementing the President's `Department of Government
Efficiency' Deregulatory Agenda'' (90 FR 10583; Feb. 25, 2025). The
information received through the RFI will help inform the response of
the DOI to Administration directives, specifically those which call on
Federal agencies to identify and review existing regulations, guidance,
and reporting requirements that impose undue burdens on energy
development, exceed statutory authority, or are otherwise inconsistent
with the Administration's policy goals. The information received will
also inform the development of action plans by DOI to suspend, revise,
or rescind such requirements as expeditiously as possible and
consistent with applicable law. A reopening of the comment period will
provide additional opportunity for the public to consider the RFI and
prepare comments to address the questions posed therein. Therefore, DOI
is reopening the comment period for the RFI for an indefinite period.
No deadline is established at this time and comments will be reviewed
on an ongoing basis.
Whitney N. Leets,
Counselor, Office of Policy Management and Budget.
