Abstract:
Pub. L. 117-58, Section 40601, “Orphaned Well Site Plugging, Remediation, and Restoration” of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) (November 15, 2021) amends Section 349 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 U.S.C. 15907) and designates the U.S. Department of the Interior (Interior) as the key agency responsible for implementing a grant program for applicable government entities to plug, remediate, and reclaim orphaned wells on lands covered by the legislation. The associated investments, as part of the new grant programs, will rebuild America’s critical infrastructure, tackle the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, and drive the creation of good-paying union jobs. Interior will issue financial assistance through grant and cooperative agreement awards to state governments and Indian tribal governments under Assistance Listing (CFDA) program 15.018 Energy Community Revitalization Program (ECRP). The authority is the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P.L. 117-58), Title VI, Section 40601.
Emergency Justfication:
This is a request for emergency clearance of a one-time collection of data necessary to enable the Interior to meet the aggressive timelines for a new grant program established in the BIL.
