National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Production Site Development

Other · general

Source summary

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing to streamline its decision-making process for authorizing the construction and operation of qualifying oil and gas production sites and their associated rights-of-way (ROWs) in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (the Petroleum Reserve or NPR-A). This proposed rule would establish pre-defined criteria for defined and repeatable common activities with similar environmental effects that, when met by an applicant, would result in a streamlined permitting process for qualifying production sites.

Analyst note

Interior advanced a proposed action that may change compliance expectations in other. Monitor comment deadlines and implementation timelines for client exposure.
