Abstract:
OHA exercises the delegated authority of the Secretary of the Interior to conduct hearings and decide appeals from decisions of the bureaus and offices of the Department of the Interior (Department, DOI, Interior). OHA’s hearings and appeals provide administrative process to outside litigants by providing an impartial forum and independent review of bureau and office decisions. OHA review ensures that the Department has an opportunity to correct its own administrative errors, final agency decisions are consistent with law, and, if Department decisions are challenged in federal court, those courts receive fully developed administrative records on which to base judicial review of agency actions.
Emergency Justfication:
In this interim final rule, OHA will make comprehensive procedural revisions throughout 43 CFR part 4, including additional changes to establish the regulatory framework for electronic filing (including where some appeals are filed), retitling subparts for greater consistency and clarity, consolidating subparts, creating two new subparts, and making the organization of the regulations more logical and concise. Some of the changes will supersede those made in March 2023. While OHA has made language consistent across part 4 where possible, we placed greater emphasis on making the procedures more useable and understandable to those appearing before a particular OHA Unit in a particular type of proceeding.
