Wild Horse & Burro Management Meagan Gins U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Legislative Affairs Division (WO-620) (202) 912-7399 (desk) (202) 779-0354 (cell) BUREAU: Bureau of Land Management (BLM) MEMBER: General Interest ISSUE: Implementation of S.O. 3349, American Energy Independence Key Points On March 29, 2017, Secretary Zinke issued Secretarial Order (S.O.) 3349, which implements the review directed by President Trump's Executive Order (E.O.) 13783, focusing on decreasing the regulatory burden associated with energy production. In addition, S.O. 3349 revokes Secretary Jewell's October 31, 2013, S.O. 3330, which aimed to improve mitigation policies and practices at the Department of the Interior (DOI), and directs DOI bureaus to identify all actions taken related to S.O. 3330 and the 2015 Presidential Memorandum, Mitigating Impacts on Natural Resources from Development and Encouraging Related Private Investment. E.O. 13783 also rescinded several climate change related directives, and S.O. 3349 directs DOI bureaus to identify all action taken related to the rescinded climate change directives. Finally, S.O. 3349 specifically directs the BLM to review a number of other agency actions that may place an unnecessary burden on domestic energy development. Background S.O. 3330 established a DOI-wide mitigation strategy through a landscape-scale approach, early integration of mitigation considerations in project planning and design, and considering the durability, transparency and consistency of mitigation measures. o Consistent with S.O. 3330, the BLM finalized its interim (June 2013) mitigation policy, incorporating the S.O. 3330 strategy and issuing a Mitigation Manual (MS1794) and Mitigation Handbook (H-1794-1) in December 2016. The Report of the Executive Office of the President of June 2013, The President's Climate Action Plan contained three broad goals related to climate change mitigation, adaptation, and international leadership. o As directed by the Council on Environmental Quality Guidance that derived from this report and other executive actions, the BLM integrated a more quantitative approach to the consideration of greenhouse gases and climate change into its decision-making and planning processes. The BLM also manages public land to address wildfire, drought, and other issues that relate to adaptation. Current Status The BLM provided to the Secretary a list of all actions adopted or in the process of being developed on mitigation and climate change. The BLM identified all existing agency actions that potentially affect the development or utilization of domestic oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy resources. The BLM is following the proper process for rescinding the final rule titled Oil and Gas; Hydraulic Fracturing on Federal and Indian Lands and is considering whether to replace it with a new proposed rule. The BLM is reviewing the final rule titled Waste Prevention, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation to ensure its consistency with E.O. 13783.
