Kelly March 2017 - September 2018: Leasing Reform, Mining and Energy - The 17 recommendations address leasing reform, mining, and other energy actions and represent a combination of rule rescissions, reviews of existing policy, promulgation of new policy or guidance, or similar actions, all of which aim to reduce burdens on energy producers. The BLM will continue to pursue these recommendations, which cover a range of categories that include, but are not limited to: o Climate Change: (e.g., rescission of a BLM memo that transmits Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) guidance on consideration of greenhouse gas emissions and the effects of climate change in National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews); o Mitigation: (e.g., BLM is reviewing and revising the Bureau's manual section and handbook related to Mitigation, which provide direction on the use of mitigation, including compensatoiy mitigation, to support the BLM's multiple-use and sustained-yield mandates); o Coal: (e.g., BLM is reviewing three coal-related instruction memos (IM 2014 156, IM 2017-035, and IM 2017-037), with the goal of updating or rescinding them); and o Oil and Gas: (e.g., the BLM is moving forward with rescinding the Hydraulic Fracturing regulation and is reviewing leasing policies (IM 2010-117, 2013-101, and 2013-177), with the goal of updating or rescinding them).

Start Date: Anticipated Completion Date: Priority #9: Finalize coal recommendations report and begin implementation. Provide a brief, one paragraph description of the specific priority goal. Please tie the goal to big picture Presidential, Secretarial and/or Administration objectives. As part of the Make America Great Again through Energy Independence objective, BLM, with the Office of Surface Mining, Exploration and Enforcement, is examining the federal coal program and ways to streamline the leasing and permitting process. A multi-disciplinary/multi-agency team of experts have identified a number of recommended program revisions and enhancements that could be carried out through changes to policy, promulgation of regulations or new legislation that may decrease the processing times for leasing and permitting federal coal and coal mines as well as to remove some of the administrative burdens to the industry. These recommendations have been outlined in a draft report to the Assistant Secretary for Lands & Minerals (ASLM) and will be presented to the Secretary upon ASLM approval. Key Decisions and Milestones: Discuss what key decisions will need to be made (and by whom) in order to reach the goal. Identify approximately when those decisions will need to be made and when other important milestones or critical actions will occur. The draft report is currently with ASLM for review and comment. Once comments are received (expected in by Aug. 9), a final draft will be prepared by BLM WO-320 and sent through the BLM surnaming process for finalization (including the Solicitor's Office, the Assistant Director for Lands, Minerals and Realty Management and the BLM Director's Office). The report will go through the Office of Communications for final writer-editor clean-up. After the report is finalized (expected by Aug 31), ASLM will present the report to the Secretary. Upon the Secretary's approval, BLM will then begin the process of implementing those recommendations that the Secretary approves. Key Personnel and Staff: Briefly describe what office or personnel will be principally involved/responsible for completing this goal. Because this is a national effort recommending Bureau-wide changes to the BLM coal program, implementation of the recommendations will be managed from the BLM Washington Office, Division of Solid Minerals (WO-320). It is anticipated that a Project Manager will be hired by WO-320 to direct the effort. This position will be remotely located, potentially in the Wyoming, Colorado, or Utah state offices. Start Date: Ongoing for the report; beginning of FY18 for implementation of recommendations. Anticipated Completion Date: End of FY17 for report; 3-4 years for implementation of the more ambitious recommendations (i.e., those requiring legislation). Priority #10: Improve rangeland health by addressing invasive plants and focusing on appropriate fire management strategies to include fire suppression, reducing hazardous fuels, establishing fuel breaks, and rehabilitation. Provide a brief, one paragraph description of the specific priority goal. Please tie the goal to big picture Presidential, Secretarial and/or Administration objectives. Key Decisions and Milestones: Discuss what key decisions will need to be made (and by whom) in order to reach the goal. Identify approximately when those decisions will need to be made and when other important milestones or critical actions will occur. Key Personnel and Staff: Briefly describe what office or personnel will be principally involved/responsible for completing this goal. Start Date: Anticipated Completion Date: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management PROPOSED TOP 10 PRIORITY ACCOMPLISHMENTS 2017 - 2021 Priority: Increase opportunities in local communities for partners, stakeholders, and families to engage in the management, use and awareness of BLM lands. Provide a brief, one paragraph description of the specific priority goal. Please tie the goal to big picture Presidential, Secretarial and/or Administration objectives. Working closely with local communities, states, and other local stakeholders in the management of public lands supports local decision making, ensures diverse voices and viewpoints are heard, serves the needs of American families, creates an engaged public that supports shared conservation stewardship, and provides social and economic opportunities to the local communities we work and live in. We will accomplish this goal by expanding our use of volunteers, partnerships, education, and public engagement as management tools; with a specific focus on providing guidance, training, and support to field level managers and staff. Key Decisions and Milestones: Discuss what key decisions will need to be made (and by whom) in order to reach the goal. Identify approximately when those decisions will need to be made and when other important milestones or critical actions will occur. Partnerships: Finalize Donations Policy to provide guidance for acceptance of contributions from partners and individuals. (WO) Develop a Friends Toolkit to support BLM managers and Friends groups to establish and maintain best partnership practices for public lands. (WO) Volunteers: Create opportunities to engage at least 25,000 volunteers annually by providing meaningful projects that directly support the BLM's multiple-use mission. (WO420, SO) Maximize the impact of national programs that engage youth, families, and local communities (i.e. National Public Lands Day, National Trails Day, etc.) by hosting local events Education and Public Engagement: Participate in the evaluation of BLM's public rooms across the agency, and establish benchmarks and milestones to improve their functionality and customer service to local communities. Develop field office web pages (anticipated to include youth programming at over 100 field locations). Visitors will learn about and engage with BLM landscapes, resources, employees, and activities in their local communities through various online media. Develop standard guidance and support in the use of partnerships, education, volunteers, and public engagement in public room administration. (WO420) Enhance the future workforce by engaging a diverse cadre of youth in meaningful internship or service-learning programs. (WO420, SO, HR) Expand BLM's communication and education outreach efforts to emphasize the variety of ways the public can access, enjoy, and benefit from BLM lands as a result of our multiple-use mandate through increased activity on new media platforms, and by hosting a variety of education and outreach events at the local level. (WO420, WO600) Provide Bureau wide support in the development of multiple-use outreach materials for all programs (Fire, WH&B, etc) Key Personnel and Staff: Briefly describe what office or personnel will be principally involved/responsible for completing this goal.
