Re: Draft Report under E.O. 13783
Kit -- I want you to take the lead on pulling together the material for us to submit to Peter and Jeff Brune for the draft report due COB Friday. Steve, Karen and I will need to review it prior to being sent forward to WO-100. I've indicated below who you should coordinate with to get the content needed to prepare the report. You may have to take existing briefing materials and re-work them to fit the required format; you will have to actively create and edit the content. You should also coordinate with WO-300 and 400. Thanks -- K
II. Recommendations for Alleviating or Eliminating Burdensome Actions A. Climate Change Actions -- Steve Tryon (rescind IM, re-issue IM/policy for
conducting required NEPA analysis) For each climate change action with the potential to burden development or use ofdomestically
produced energy resources, provide:
1. Description. Describe the action, including whether the action is a policy, rule, or other document and how the action potentially burdens development or use of domestically produced energy resources
2. Opportunities to Address Burden or Other Issues of Concern. Describe how the action is being addressed to reduce burden on energy (rescission, revision, suspension, publication for public comment, or otherwise). Include an estimated timeline for addressing the action. Also describe plans for obtaining public input.
3. Anticipated Benefits. Describe benefits to be obtained by addressing the action and quantify benefits by filling in attached spreadsheet.
4. Measuring Success. Describe how the reduction in burden will be measured, including key timelines or benchmarks.
5. Interim Methods. Describe whether there are any interim compliance requirements, such as variances or waivers, that could be put into place pending longer-term revisions to regulations, and plans for instituting them.
B. Mitigation Actions For each Mitigation action with the potential to burden development or use ofdomestically produced energy resources, provide: Deblyn. We will discuss more at our meeting Thursday, but include description ofIM being drafted, planfor revising the manual and handbook, M-Opinion.
