Introduction This memorandum identifies FWS Actions relating to (1) the Presidential Memorandum entitled "Mitigating Impacts on Natural Resources from Development and Encouraging Related Private Investment" (November 3, 2015) and (2) Secretarial Order 3330, "Improving Mitigation Policies and Practices of the Department of the Interior" (October 31, 2013). II. Background The March 28, 2017, Presidential Executive Order entitled "Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth" revoked the November 3, 2015, Presidential Memorandum on mitigation and directed the heads of all agencies to identify agency actions relating to or arising from the Presidential Memorandum. On March 29, 2017, the Secretary signed Order 3349, "American Energy Independence", which revoked the previous Secretarial Order on mitigation (3330), and established a "Mitigation Policy Review" that required, among other things, each bureau and office head to identify all actions they have adopted or are in the process of developing relating to the Presidential Memorandum and Secretarial Order 3330.
