BLM Seeks Comments on Proposal to Rescind Rule on Waste Prevention, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation

On February 22, 2018, the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published a proposed rule to rescind and revise portions of the 2016 final rule entitled “Waste Prevention, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation.” The proposal states that the rule will revise or eliminate portions of the final rule that are unnecessarily burdensome and that may overlap with other federal and state requirements. BLM states that the proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Comments are due by April 23, 2018.
