SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 13783, published on March 
28, 2017, states that it is in the national interest to promote clean 
and safe development of energy resources, while at the same time 
avoiding regulatory burdens that unnecessarily encumber energy 
production, constrain economic growth, and prevent job creation. 
Section 2 of the Order requires the head of each executive department 
and agency to review all of the agency's existing regulations, orders, 
guidance documents, policies, and any other similar agency actions that 
potentially burden the development or use of domestically produced 
energy resources, with particular attention to oil, natural gas, coal, 
and nuclear energy resources.
    The Department of the Treasury, pursuant to Executive Order 13783, 
is undertaking a review of its regulatory, subregulatory, and other 
policy documents that could potentially burden the safe, efficient 
development of domestic energy resources. To assist in this effort, the 
Department invites members of the public to submit views or 
recommendations on those items, including regulations, forms, policies, 
orders, and related documents, the removal or modification of which 
could reduce burdens as outlined in the Executive Order. Comments 
should include specific references to form numbers, citations, or other 
identifiers and should include a description of the burden imposed and 
how it could best be addressed (e.g., through repeal, modification, 
streamlining efforts, regulatory flexibilities, etc.).
    The Department advises that this notice and request for comments is 
issued for information and policy development purposes. Although the 
Department encourages responses to this notice, such comments do not 
bind the Department to take any further actions related to the 
submission.

    Dated: June 27, 2017.
Brian Callanan,
Acting General Counsel.
