SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On July 1, 2016, ONRR published in the Federal Register the
Consolidated Federal Oil & Gas and Federal & Indian Coal Valuation
Reform Rule, which was effective on January 1, 2017 (2017 Valuation
Rule). 81 FR 43338. The 2017 Valuation Rule changes how Federal oil and
gas and Federal and Indian coal lessees value production for royalty
purposes. It also revises revenue-reporting requirements.
On December 29, 2016, three different sets of petitioners filed
three separate petitions challenging the 2017 Valuation Rule in the
United States District Court for the District of Wyoming. In those
lawsuits the petitioners allege that certain provisions of the 2017
Valuation Rule are arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to the law. The
petitioners raise serious questions concerning the validity or prudence
of certain provisions of the 2017 Valuation Rule, such as the expansion
of the ``default provision'' and the use of the sales price of
electricity to value coal.
In addition to initiating litigation, on February 17, 2017, the
petitioners sent a joint letter to the ONRR Director. In that letter
the petitioners asserted that the 2017 Valuation Rule's new reporting
and payment requirements would be difficult or impossible to comply
with by the royalty reporting-deadline, a problem that would be
exacerbated by the fact that non-compliant lessees may be exposed to
significant civil penalties.
The petitioners' lawsuits and correspondence echoed the concerns
voiced by many industry representatives in workshops during the public
comment period that preceded the 2017 Valuation Rule's promulgation.
Records of those workshops, industry comments, and other public
comments may be viewed at https://onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/FRNotices/AA13.htm.
On February 27, 2017, in response to the petitioners' lawsuits and
their request to ONRR to stay implementation of the 2017 Valuation
Rule, ONRR postponed implementation of the 2017 Valuation Rule, pending
judicial review, by notice published in the Federal Register. 82 FR
11823.
ONRR is now proposing to repeal the 2017 Valuation Rule in its
entirety. Repeal would be consistent with the President's January 30,
2017, Executive Order on Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs. It would (a) preserve the regulatory status quo while ONRR
reconsiders whether revisions are appropriate or needed to the pre-
existing regulations governing royalty values; (b) avoid the costs to
both government and industry of converting to controversial new royalty
reporting and payment systems while the reconsideration takes place;
(c) eliminate the need for continued and uncertain litigation over the
validity of the 2017 Valuation Rule, and (d) enhance the lessees'
ability to timely and accurately report and pay royalties, because they
would continue to use a well-known system that has been in place for
decades.
ONRR's original intent behind the 2017 Rule was to offer greater
simplicity, certainty, clarity, and consistency in product valuation
and reporting for mineral lessees. But ONRR has since identified
several areas in the rule that warrant reconsideration to meet policy
and implementation objectives, including but not limited to, how to
value coal production in certain non-arm's length transactions, how to
value coal when the first arm's-length sale of the coal is electricity,
how to value gas in certain no-sale situations, and under what
circumstances, and on whom, ONRR's valuation determinations are
binding. The repeal would allow ONRR to reconsider whether the changes
made by the 2017 Valuation Rule are needed, while providing certainty
and clarity to the regulated community during that reconsideration by
continuing to require compliance with lawful, longstanding, and well
known procedures. Absent repeal, ONRR would also be required to
continue litigation over the 2017 Valuation Rule, even though that Rule
may not reflect ONRR's current conclusions on how best to value
production for royalty purposes. Concurrently with this notice, ONRR is
publishing an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comments on
whether revisions are appropriate or needed to the pre-existing
regulations governing royalty values, including comments on whether the
2017 Valuation Rule should ultimately be retained or repromulgated, in
whole or in part.
ONRR's pre-existing valuation rules are still authorized by, and
consistent with, applicable law, including 5 U.S.C. 301 et seq., 25
U.S.C. 396 et seq., 396a et seq., 2101 et seq.; 30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.,
351 et seq., 1001 et seq., 1701 et seq.; 31 U.S.C. 9701; 43 U.S.C. 1301
et seq., 1331 et seq., and 1801 et seq.

II. Explanation of Proposed Amendments

ONRR proposes to repeal the 2017 Valuation Rule in its entirety.
If, following public comment, ONRR publishes a final rule repealing the
2017 Valuation Rule in its entirety, then 30 CFR parts 1202 and 1206
would revert to read as they did before ONRR promulgated the 2017
Valuation Rule. Part 1202 would read as published in the July 1, 2015,
edition of title 30 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which is
at https://www.thefederalregister.org/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2015-title30-vol3/pdf/CFR-

[[Page 16324]]

2015-title30-vol3-part1202.pdf. Part 1206 would read as published in
the July 1, 2015, edition of title 30 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, which is at https://www.thefederalregister.org/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2015-title30-vol3/pdf/CFR-2015-title30-vol3-part1206.pdf.

III. Section-by-Section Analysis

The proposed and final rules for the 2017 Valuation Rule, including
their section-by-section analyses, are at https://onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/FRNotices/AA13.htm. A repeal of the 2017 Valuation Rule would return
each section to its reading prior to the July 1, 2016, publication of
the 2017 Valuation Rule. With repeal, the section-by-section analyses
may be found in the preambles for ONRR's and its predecessors' prior
rulemakings as published in the Federal Register. The Federal Register
volume and page number citations for those prior rulemakings, including
their preambles, may be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, 30
CFR parts 1202 and 1206, as they existed before the July 1, 2016,
publication of the 2017 Valuation Rule. For part 1202 the Federal
Register citations are at https://www.thefederalregister.org/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2015-title30-vol3/pdf/CFR-2015-title30-vol3-part1202.pdf. For part 1206, the
Federal Register citations are at https://www.thefederalregister.org/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2015-title30-vol3/pdf/CFR-2015-title30-vol3-part1206.pdf.

IV. Procedural Matters

1. Summary Cost and Royalty Impact Data

Repeal would negate the cost and royalty impact of the 2017
Valuation Rule. That cost and royalty impact is described in the final
2017 Valuation Rule, under Procedural Matters, item 1, starting at 81
FR 43359.

2. Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and
Executive Order 13771 on Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs Dated January 30, 2017)

Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 provides that the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) of the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) will review all significant rules. The Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs has determined that this rule is not
significant.
Executive Order 13563 reaffirms the principles of E.O. 12866, while
calling for improvements in the Nation's regulatory system to promote
predictability, to reduce uncertainty, and to use the best, most
innovative, and least burdensome tools for achieving regulatory ends.
The Executive Order directs agencies to consider regulatory approaches
that reduce burdens and maintain flexibility and freedom of choice for
the public where these approaches are relevant, feasible, and
consistent with regulatory objectives. E.O. 13563 emphasizes further
that regulations must be based on the best available science and that
the rulemaking process must allow for public participation and an open
exchange of ideas. We developed this proposed rule in a manner
consistent with these requirements.
The President's January 30, 2017, Executive Order on Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs, as implemented under
February 2, 2017, Interim Guidance issued by OIRA, imposes certain
requirements for every rule considered significant under E.O. 12866.
First, every new significant rule requires the repeal of two rules.
Second, an agency must fully offset the total incremental cost of
significant new regulations, including repealed regulations, finalized
in fiscal year 2017. Since this proposed rule--which is itself a repeal
of an existing rule--is not a significant rule under E.O. 12866, it
does not require the repeal of two other existing rules, and the agency
is not required to offset its cost against the cost of other fiscal
year 2017 rules.

3. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Department of the Interior certifies that this proposed rule
would not have a significant economic effect on a substantial number of
small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.). See the 2017 Valuation Rule, Procedural Matters, item 1,
starting at 81 FR 43359, and item 3, starting at 81 FR 43367.

4. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

This proposed rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804(2), the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. This proposed rule:
a. Would not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million
or more. We estimate the maximum effect as a reverse of the impacts
described in the 2017 Valuation Rule, under Procedural Matters, item 1,
starting at 81 FR 43359, and item 4, 81 FR 43368.
b. Would not cause a major increase in costs or prices for
consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local government
agencies, or geographic regions. See the 2017 Valuation Rule, under
Procedural Matters, item 1, starting at 81 FR 43359, and item 4, 81 FR
43368.
c. Would not have significant adverse effects on competition,
employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of
U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises. This
proposed rule would benefit U.S.-based enterprises.

5. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

This proposed rule would not impose an unfunded mandate on State,
local, or Tribal governments, or the private sector of more than $100
million per year. This proposed rule would not have a significant or
unique effect on State, local, or Tribal governments, or the private
sector. Therefore, we are not required to provide a statement
containing the information set out in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). See the 2017 Valuation Rule, under Procedural
Matters, item 1, starting at 81 FR 43359, and item 5 at 81 FR 43368.

6. Takings (E.O. 12630)

Under the criteria in E.O. 12630, this proposed rule would not have
significant takings implications. This proposed rule would apply to
Federal oil, Federal gas, Federal coal, and Indian coal leases only.
This proposed rule would not be a governmental action capable of
interference with constitutionally protected property rights. This
proposed rule does not require a Takings Implication Assessment.

7. Federalism (E.O. 13132)

Under the criteria in E.O. 13132, this proposed rule would not have
sufficient Federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a
Federalism Assessment. The management of Federal oil and gas leases and
Federal and Indian coal leases is the responsibility of the Secretary
of the Interior. This proposed rule would not impose administrative
costs on States or local governments. This proposed rule also does not
substantially and directly affect the relationship between the Federal
and State governments. Because this rule, if promulgated as a final
rule, would not alter that relationship, it does not require a
Federalism summary impact statement.

8. Civil Justice Reform (E.O. 12988)

This proposed rule would comply with the requirements of E.O.
12988, for the reasons we outline in the following paragraphs.
Specifically, this proposed rule:
a. Would meet the criteria of Sec. 3(a), which requires that we
review all regulations to eliminate errors and

[[Page 16325]]

ambiguity and to write them to minimize litigation.
b. Would meet the criteria of Sec. 3(b)(2), which requires that we
write all regulations in clear language using clear legal standards.

9. Consultation With Indian Tribal Governments (E.O. 13175)

The Department strives to strengthen its government-to-government
relationship with the Indian Tribes through a commitment to
consultation with the Indian Tribes and recognition of their right to
self-governance and Tribal sovereignty. Under the Department's
consultation policy and the criteria in E.O. 13175, we evaluated this
proposed rule and determined that it would potentially affect
Federally-recognized Indian Tribes. We determined that this rule would
restore the historical valuation methodology for coal produced from
Indian leases. Our previous and planned activities include:
(a) As described in the 2017 Valuation Rule under Procedural
Matters, item 9, at 81 FR 43368, we consulted with the affected Tribes
on a government-to-government basis in preparing the 2017 Valuation
Rule. We also will consult with the affected Tribes about potential
repeal of the 2017 Valuation Rule.
(b) We will fully consider Tribal views in the final rule.

10. Paperwork Reduction Act

This proposed rule:
(a) Does not contain any new information collection requirements.
(b) Does not require a submission to OMB under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq). See 5 CFR 1320.4(a)(2).
This proposed rule, if promulgated as a final rule, will leave in
tack the information collection requirements that OMB already approved
under OMB Control Numbers 1012-0004, 1012-0005, and 1012-0010.

11. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)

This proposed rule would not constitute a major Federal action,
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. We are
not required to provide a detailed statement under NEPA because this
rule qualifies for categorically exclusion under 43 CFR 46.210(i) in
that this is ``. . . of an administrative, financial, legal, technical,
or procedural nature. . . .'' This rule also qualifies for
categorically exclusion under Departmental Manual, part 516, section
15.4.(C)(1) in that its impacts are limited to administrative,
economic, or technological effects. We also have determined that this
rule is not involved in any of the extraordinary circumstances listed
in 43 CFR 46.215 that would require further analysis under NEPA. The
procedural changes resulting from the repeal of the 2017 Valuation Rule
would have no consequences on the physical environment. This proposed
rule would not alter, in any material way, natural resources
exploration, production, or transportation.

12. Effects on the Energy Supply (E.O. 13211)

This proposed rule would not be a significant energy action under
the definition in E.O. 13211, and, therefore, would not require a
Statement of Energy Effects.

13. Clarity of This Regulation

Executive Orders 12866 (section 1(b)(12)), 12988 (section
3(b)(1)(B)), and 13563 (section 1(a)), and the Presidential Memorandum
of June 1, 1998, would require us to write all rules in Plain Language.
This means that each rule that we publish must: (a) Have logical
organization; (b) use the active voice to address readers directly; (c)
use clear language rather than jargon; (d) use short sections and
sentences; and (e) use lists and tables wherever possible.
If you feel that we have not met these requirements, send your
comments to armand.southall@onrr.gov. To better help us revise this
rule, make your comments as specific as possible. For example, you
should tell us the numbers of the sections or paragraphs that you think
we wrote unclearly, which sections or sentences are too long, the
sections where you feel lists or tables would be useful, etc.

14. Public Availability of Comments

Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask us, in your comment, to withhold your personal identifying
information from public view, we cannot guarantee that we will be able
to do so.
