Karen Karen Kelleher Deputy Assistant Director - Resources and Planning Main Interior room 5646 kkelleh@blm.gov 202-208-4896 <OIS_BLM - Sage-Grouse Plan Implementation - 4.25.2017_gt_kk.docx> <BLM - Implementation of SO 3349, American Energy Indepence - 4.25.2017 - km (1)_dlm_ses_kk.docx> BUREAU: Bureau of Land Management (BLM) MEMBER: General Interest ISSUE: Implementation of S.O. 3349, American Energy Independence Key Points: Secretarial Order (S.O.) 3349, American Energy Independence implements the review directed by Executive Order (E.O.) 13783, Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth, focusing on decreasing the regulatory burden associated with energy production. In addition, S.O. 3349 revokes S.O. 3330, Improving Mitigation Policies and Practices of the Department of the Interior, and directs DOI bureaus to identify all actions taken related to S.O. 3330 and the 2015 Presidential Memorandum, Mitigating Impacts on Natural Resources from Development and Encouraging Related Private Investment. In addition, E.O. 13783 rescinded several climate change related directives and S.O. 3349 directs DOI bureaus to identify all action taken related to the rescinded climate change directives. Finally, S.O. 3349 specifically directs the BLM to review a number of other agency actions that may place an unnecessary burden on domestic energy development. Background: S.O. 3330 established a DOI-wide mitigation strategy through a landscape-scale approach, early integration of mitigation considerations in project planning and design, and considering the durability, transparency and consistency of mitigation measures. o Consistent with S.O. 3330, the BLM finalized its interim (June 2013) mitigation policy, incorporating the S.O. 3330 strategy and issuing a Mitigation Manual (MS1794) and Mitigation Handbook (H-1794-1) in December 2016. The Report of the Executive Office of the President of June 2013, The President's Climate Action Plan contained three broad goals related to climate change mitigation, adaptation, and international leadership. o As directed by the Council on Environmental Quality Guidance that derived from this report and other executive actions, the BLM integrated a more quantitative approach to the consideration of greenhouse gases and climate change into its decision-making and planning processes. The BLM also manages public land to address wildfire, drought and other issues that relate to adaptation. Current Status: Provided a list of all actions to the Secretary adopted or in the process of being developed on mitigation and climate change since the policies specified in the SO 3349 were issued. Preparing to propose that the BLM's March 26, 2015, final rule titled Oil and Gas; Hydraulic Fracturing on Federal and Indian Lands be rescinded; Reviewing, within 21 days, the BLM's January 17, 2017 final rule titled Waste Prevention, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation to ensure consistency with E.O. 13783;and Identifying, within 21 days, all existing agency actions that potentially affect the development or utilization of domestic oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy resources.
