1024-AD78 201610 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1024 National Park Service NPS 1000 Department of the Interior DOI Non-Federal Oil and Gas Rights

This rule would update National Park Service (NPS) regulations governing the exercise of non-Federal oil and gas rights within NPS unit boundaries outside of Alaska. It would accommodate new technology and industry practices, eliminate regulatory exemptions, update requirements, remove caps on bond amounts, and allow NPS to recover administrative costs. The changes make the regulations more effective and efficient and maintain the highest level of protection compatible with park resources and values.
