Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth General Comment Consider the regulatory review that is being led by ORMS to address E.O. 13771 (Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs) and how that can contribute to the analysis undertaken by this Energy E.O. group. The Regulatory Review Team (RRT) is analyzing 7 CFR Part 1 (FERC Flydropower Licenses) and FSH2709.il and FSH2609.13 (Forest Service Wind Energy Special Use Authorizations) as part of our review of regulations issued within the last twenty years that were designed by OMB as significant. The Regulatory Review Team and the Energy Independence Team should communicate to share approaches and findings and to reduce duplication of efforts. This could go within Section II when discussing the structure of the review and how the Minerals and Geology Management Director Area will interact with other parts of the agency. Consider how geothermal energy is categorized and whether it is presented as a renewable resources so as to be consistent with how it is categorized within our regulations as well as how it is to be treated under the Executive Order.
