<body>
<p>The rule would propose to update the Bureau of Land Management&rsquo;s existing rules governing site security and measurement of oil and gas from onshore Federal and Indian oil and gas leases. Since the BLM adopted the existing rules in November 2016,&nbsp;the agency&nbsp;has encountered significant challenges in implementing them.&nbsp;This regulatory action would rectify gaps and inconsistencies in the current regulations and improve measurement accuracy, verifiability, and accountability on Federal and Indian minerals.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
