The March 28, 2017 E.O. directs the Department to identity agency actions "related to or arising from" the rescinded Presidential Actions, reports, and guidance, and to initiate a lawful and appropriate process to suspend, revise, or rescind such actions.
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Policies and Practices of the Department of the Interior," dated October 13, 2013, is directly related to the rescinded Presidential Memorandum on mitigation.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 Given the close nexus between the rescinded Presidential Memorandum and Secretary's Order 3330, a thorough reexamination is needed of the policies set out in that Order.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.
4
(iii) Within 90 days of the date of this Order, each bureau and office required to reconsider, modify, or rescind any such Department Action, shall submit to the Deputy Secretary, through their Assistant Secretary, a draft revised or substitute Department Action, for review.
c.
Review of Other Department Actions Impacting Energy Development.
(i) As previously announced by the Department, BLM shall proceed expeditiously with proposing to rescind the final rule entitled, "Oil and Gas; Hydraulic Fracturing on Federal and Indian Lands," 80 Fed. Reg. 16128 (Mar. 26,2015).
(ii) Within 21 days, the Director, BLM shall review the final rule entitled, "Waste Prevention, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation," 81 Fed. Reg. 83008 (January 17, 2017), and report to the Assistant Secretary Land and Minerals Management on whether the rule is fully consistent with the policy set forth in Section 1 of the March 28, 2017 E.O.
(iii) Within 21 days, the Director, National Park Service shall review the final rule entitled, "General Provisions and Non-Federal Oil and Gas Rights," 81 Fed. Reg. 77972 (Nov. 4, 2016), and report to the Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks on whether the rule is fully consistent with the policy set forth in Section 1 of the March 28, 2017 E.O.
(iv) Within 21 days, the Director, FWS shall review the final rule entitled, "Management of Non-Federal Oil and Gas Rights," 81 Fed. Reg. 79948 (Nov. 14,2016), and report to the Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks on whether the rule is fully consistent with the policy set forth in Section 1 of the March 28, 2017 E.O.
(v) Within 21 days, each bureau and office head shall provide to the Deputy Secretary, through their Assistant Secretary, a report that identifies all existing Department Actions issued by their bureau or office that potentially burden (as that term is defined in the March 28, 2017 E.O.) the development or utilization of domestically produced energy resources, with particular attention to oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear resources.
(vi) Within 35 days, the Deputy Secretary shall provide to me a plan to complete the review of Department Actions contemplated by Section 2 of the March 28, 2017 E.O. The plan must meet all objectives and time lines set forth in the March 28, 2017 E.O.
Sec. 5 Effect of the Order. This Order is intended to improve the internal management of the Department. This Order and any resulting reports or recommendations are not intended to, and do not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or equity by a party against the United States, its departments, agencies,
5
instrumentalities or entities, its officers or employees, or any other person. To the extent there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Order and any Federal laws or regulations, the laws or regulations will control. Sec. 6 Expiration Date. This Order is effective immediately. It will remain in effect
