0596-AD55 202310 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0596 Forest Service FS 0500 Department of Agriculture USDA Land Uses; Special Uses; Carbon Capture and Storage

To support responsible deployment of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration (CCUS), the Forest Service is proposing an amendment to its regulations at 36 CFR 251.54 -- Proposal and Application Requirements and Procedures to allow exclusive or perpetual right of use or occupancy (36 CFR 251.54(e)(1)(iv)) of National Forest System (NFS) lands for CCUS. This proposed rulemaking would amend initial screen criteria in existing regulations to allow for permanent carbon dioxide sequestration on NFS lands to support CCUS-related activities and will help meet the Administration's priority of tackling the climate crisis.
