The March 28, 2017 E.O. also rescinds the Presidential Memorandum issued on November 3, 2015, entitled "Mitigating Impacts on Natural Resources from Development and Encouraging Related Private Investment." That Memorandum directed the Secretary of the Interior, among other Cabinet officials, to undertake a number of actions to implement a landscape-scale mitigation policy, including specific directions to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to develop mitigation policies that incorporated compensatory mitigation into planning and permitting processes. Secretary's Order 3330, "Improving Mitigation Policies and Practices of the Department of the Interior," dated October 13, 2013, is directly related to the rescinded Presidential Memorandum on mitigation. Secretary's Order 3330 dovetails with the subsequently issued Presidential Memorandum by directing the development and implementation of a landscape-scale mitigation policy for the Department. As directed by the Order, the Secretary received a report in April 2014 entitled, "A Strategy for Improving Mitigation Policies and Practices of the Department of the Interior." The Strategy set forth a number of "deliverables" by nearly every office and bureau within the Department to advance the stated goal of "landscape-scale mitigation." Given the close nexus between the rescinded Presidential Memorandum and Secretary's Order 3330, a thorough reexamination is needed of the policies set out in that Order. Sec. 4 Policy. To begin implementing the March 28, 2017 E.O., I hereby order the following: a. Revocation of Secretary's Order 3330. I hereby revoke Secretary's Order 3330, "Improving Mitigation Policies and Practices of the Department of the Interior," dated October 31, 2013. As set forth below, all actions taken pursuant to Secretary's Order 3330 must be reviewed for possible reconsideration, modification, or rescission as appropriate. b. Review of Department Actions. As set forth in Sec. 5 below, each bureau and office shall review all existing regulations, orders, guidance documents, policies, instructions, notices, implementing actions, and any other similar actions (Department Actions) related to or arising from the Presidential Actions set forth above and, to the extent deemed necessary and permitted by law, initiate an appropriate process to suspend, revise, or rescind any such actions, consistent with the policies set forth in the March 28, 2017 E.O. THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR WASHINGTON ORDER NO. 3 3 4 8 . Subject: Concerning the Federal Coal Moratorium Sec. 1 Purpose. The Federal coal leasing program is of critical importance to the economy of the United States, supplying approximately 40 percent of the coal produced in the Nation. On January 15, 2016, Secretary's Order 3338, "Discretionary Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement to Modernize the Federal Coal Program," was signed and placed a moratorium on the coal leasing program with limited exceptions. Given the critical importance of the Federal coal leasing program to energy security, job creation, and proper conservation stewardship, this Order directs efforts to enhance and improve the Federal coal leasing program. Sec. 2 Authorities. This Order is issued under the authority of Section 2 of Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950 (64 Stat. 1262), as amended. Other statutory authorities for this Order include but are not limited to the following statutes: a. Mineral Leasing Act, 30 U.S.C. 1181 et seq. b. Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands, 30 U.S.C. 351 et seq. c. Federal Land Policy and Management Act, 43 U.S.C. 1701-1785. d. Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, 30 U.S.C. 1201-1328. Sec. 3 Background. Secretary's Order 3338 directs the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to analyze and "consider potential leasing and management reforms to the current Federal coal program." Secretary's Order 3338 ordered the preparation of a discretionary Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) to analyze potential reforms and ordered a "pause on leasing, with limited exceptions" pending completion of the discretionary Federal Coal Program PEIS. The PEIS is estimated to cost many millions of dollars and would be completed no sooner than 2019, even with robust funding. Sec. 4 Revocation of Secretary's Order 3338. Based upon the Department's review of Secretary's Order 3338, the scoping report for the discretionary Federal Coal Program PEIS issued in January 2017, and other information provided by BLM, I find that the public interest is not served by halting the Federal coal program for an extended time, nor is a PEIS required to consider potential improvements to the program. Accordingly, consistent with the principles of responsible public stewardship entrusted to this office, I revoke Secretary's Order 3338, "Discretionary Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement to Modernize the Federal Coal Program."
