FYI, in case you need some cutting edge language re: our plans for mitigation... We'll definitely need Gary to proof, as there is a chance these plans are too new to promote.

Good afternoon, all-
After many hours of attempted clarifications, we have received SOLID intel that this exercise overlaps almost completely with the last SO 3349 exercise; however, there are two key differences:
1. This exercise requires that all bureaus use the narrative template to submit information. Please feel free to cut and paste from the last submission. You MUST maintain the format in the template to enable reviewers to easily navigate within and among bureau products.
2. This exercise requires a bit more information for each "burden" identified, and also specifies a few more types of burdens they would like to solicit information about. Because additional topical information is in the new template, each program must manage the entries for their particular subject area (i.e., we have no Senior Advisor to perform this work for you).
Gary and Jerome will be meeting with Greg, Casey, Jim, and Steve tomorrow morning to determine if any items should be removed from the original spring exercise list (a version of this is attached with comments from Virginia; there is no evidence FWP ever submitted a final). We anticipate that the version we submit to FWP this week will be mostly a recap of selected items from the attached, along with any additional items, given the new template
headings. Please reply to all with any questions, and I can get you answers. Many thanks, Charisa

Here is the relevant portion of the EO. The first assignment dealt with section a. This assignment deals with section d. The two assignments are related but this one is more in depth.
There is no wiggle room on this. I will see if you can get until Monday for submission but that may be it.
Sorry. The email also went to Greg.
Sec. 2. Immediate Review of All Agency Actions that Potentially Burden the Safe, Efficient Development of Domestic Energy Resources. (a) The heads of agencies shall review all existing regulations, orders, guidance documents, policies, and any other similar agency actions (collectively, agency actions) that potentially burden the development or use of domestically produced energy resources, with particular attention to oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy resources. Such review shall not include agency actions that are mandated by law, necessary for the public interest, and consistent with the policy set forth in section 1 of this order.
(b) For purposes of this order, "burden" means to unnecessarily obstruct, delay, curtail, or otherwise impose significant costs on the siting, permitting, production, utilization, transmission, or delivery of energy resources.
(c) Within 45 days of the date of this order, the head of each agency with agency actions described in subsection (a) of this section shall develop and submit to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB Director) a plan to carry out the review required by subsection (a) of this section. The plans shall also be sent to the Vice President, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, and the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality. The head of any agency who determines that such agency does not have agency actions described in subsection (a) of this section shall submit to the OMB Director a written statement to that effect and, absent a determination by the OMB Director that such agency does have agency actions described in subsection (a) of this section, shall have no further responsibilities under this section.
(d) Within 120 days of the date of this order, the head of each agency shall submit a draft final report detailing the agency actions described in subsection (a) of this section to the Vice President, the OMB Director, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, the
Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, and the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality. The report shall include specific recommendations that, to the extent permitted by law, could alleviate or eliminate aspects of agency actions that burden domestic energy production.

We just got the most recent assignment out to our folks today, as it didn't show up in any of my searches of my overloaded inbox until you sent the reminder today (even when I searched Rob Howarth - to this day, the original assignment did not show up). This is totally on me for being out of the office, and I'm trying to find ways to ease the burden of response on our folks. This week's deliverable appears to overlap greatly with the ask below - is that true? I need help - give me a call on my cell whenever you have a chance.
Thank you!! Charisa

Memorandum
To:
Acting Deputy Secretary
Through:
Acting Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks
From:
Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Subject:
Preliminary response to the deliverable outlined in section 5c(v) of Secretary's Order 3349 - "American Energy Independence"
I.
Introduction
This memorandum identifies FWS Actions pursuant to Secretary's Order 3349 Section 5(v).
Section 5c(v) states:
Within 21 days, each bureau and office head shall provide to the Deputy Secretary, through their Assistant Secretary, a report that identifies all existing Departmental Actions issued by their bureau or office that potentially burden (as that terms is defined in the March 28, 2017 E.O.) the development or utilization of domestically produced energy resources, with particular attention to the oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear resources.
According to the Executive Order "Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth," (issued March 28, 2017) such review "shall not include agency actions that are mandated by law, necessary for the public interest, and consistent with the policy set forth in section 1 of this order."
II. Background In order to respond to the request, the FWS describes the Agency Action, burden, and how the action relates to law, as follows:
Agency Action: The Executive Order defines Agency Actions as existing regulations, orders, guidance documents, policies, and any other similar agency actions. FWS considered Actions that are "policy" in nature and affect more than a single project level decision.
Burden: The Executive Order defines burden as "to unnecessarily obstruct, delay, curtail, or otherwise impose significant costs on the siting, permitting, production, utilization, transmission, or delivery of energy resources." For the identified Agency Action, we summarize concerns as observed by the Service, communicated in written comments, meetings, letters, emails, or otherwise.
Mandated by law: For each identified Action, we summarize how the Action is related to law, including whether the Action is specifically called for in legislation.
