From: To: Subject: Date: Guert.in. Stephen Jim Kurth Fwd: Action - deliverables for SO 3349 Thursday. March 30, 2017 9:31:34 AM Jim I will convene a team -- similar to what we did with SO 3347 on access -- to identify the deliverables, assign lead responsibilities, and set up periodic check ins as we work toward a final product for the three assignments we have under this Secretarial Order. This are pretty big assignments on very tight deadlines. Steve -----------Forwarded message-----------From: Guertin, Stephen <stephen_guertin@fws.gov> Date: Thu, Mar 30, 2017 at 10:21 AM Subject: Action - deliverables for SO 3349 To: Gary Frazer <gary_frazer@fws.gov> Gina Shultz <Gina_Shultz@fws.gov> Cynthia Martinez <cynthia_martinez@fws.gov> Sanchez Shaun <shaun_sanchez@fws.gov> Charles Blair <charles_blair@fws.gov> "Ford, Jerome" <jerome_ford@fws.gov> "Johnson, Mike J" <Mike_.T_.Tohnson@fws.gov> "Matson, Noah" <noah_matson@fws.gov> Cc: Casey Hammond <casey_hammond@ios.doi.gov> Charisa Morris <charisa_morris@fws.gov> Betsy Hildebrandt <betsy_hildebrandt@fws.gov> Matthew Huggler <Matthew_Huggler@fws.gov> We now have several major assignments tied to the just signed Secretarial Order 3349 on American energy independence. We have already taken steps to implement SO 3346 to revoke Director's Order No 219 on use of nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle. We have just turned in our detailed response and recommendations on SO 3347 on Conservation Stewardship and Outdoor Recreation (access and outdoor recreation). We had thirty days to complete this very detailed and ambitious deliverable which will now be reviewed by DOI political leadership team, formulated into a Secretarial Action Plan, and shared with the Wildlife Hunting Heritage Conservation Council and Sport Fishing and Boating Partnership Council for their feedback and recommendations for a final Secretarial Action Plan. We will continue to support these policy level conversations as they move forward. SO 3348 overturns the 2016 moratorium on all new coal leases on federal land and ends the programmatic environmental impacts statement that was set to be completed no sooner than 2019. Actions tied to SO 3349 The Secretary has just signed out SO 3349 on American energy independence and this also launches several specific assignments for us on very short timeframes. Much as we did with SO 3347 we can convene a cross-program team to identify the deliverables, assign lead responsibilities, and set up periodic check ins as we work toward a final product. We will send out a calendar invite to kick this process off tomorrow morning so please start getting organized. SO 3349 tiers off of the justreleased and broader Executive Order on energy. SO 3349 "energy independence" order revoked the previous Administration's mitigation directive, ordering each bureau and office to "reconsider, modify, or rescind" related policies on mitigation or climate change. It looks like we have 14 days from yesterday. Logical lead would be ES in coordination with MBM etc. Due date will be Wednesday April 12. SO 3349 directs the Bureau of Land Management to "expeditiously" rescind its hydraulic fracturing regulations and gave BLM 21 days to review the methane flaring rule to determine whether it's "fully consistent" with the EO. No Service action. SO 3349 gives the directors of the National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service 21 days from yesterday to reconsider their oil and gas rules. Logical lead would be NWR. Due date will be Wednesday April 19. SO 3349 gave all bureaus and offices 21 days from yesterday to identify regulations that potentially burden the "development or utilization of domestically produced energy resources, with particular attention to oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear resources." The deputy Interior secretary then has six days to produce a plan to comply with the EO energy order. To be discussed. Due date will be Wednesday April 19. Thanks. Steve
