The Interior Department has outlined its regulatory review plans, which largely encompass rethinking regulations involving the oil and gas industry.
The notice, which is slated to be published in the Federal Register on Thursday, provides more detail about Interior's ongoing efforts to implement President Donald Trump's regulatory reform goals. Among other steps, the agency said it intends to use more advanced notices of proposed rulemakings "to solicit input on the front end as to how any given regulatory action could be tailored to reduce or eliminate burden."
Interior's regulatory reform task force will review several Obama-era rules on energy development that may be repealed or revised. Stemming from that effort, BLM has already said it will rewrite its hydraulic fracturing rule. Other rules being looked at include BLM's methane waste rule and regulations involving offshore energy development.
The agency also said it is implementing Trump's order that directed agencies to identify two rules for repeal every time a new regulation is adopted.
WHAT'S NEXT: Interior is accepting comments on its reviews but did not set a hard deadline, instead saying it will "review comments on an ongoing basis."
