BOEM is tasked with managing the development of U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) energy, mineral, and geological resources in an environmentally and economically responsible way. As such, BOEM is proposing to maintain certain provisions of the existing regulations and modify only those elements that, under new market conditions, merit updating. The major proposed amendments in this rule include returning to the previous BOEM practice of considering the financial strength of jointly liable predecessor lessees, revising the credit rating threshold for determining whether oil, gas, and sulfur lessees, right-of-use and easement (RUE) grant holders, and pipeline right-of-way (ROW) grant holders on the OCS are required to provide supplemental financial assurance above the required general financial assurance amount to ensure compliance with their Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) obligations, revising the decommissioning estimate used to determine the amount of supplemental financial assurance required, and revising the appeals bond provision related to the Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) appeal procedures. Each of these proposed amendments will be discussed in its corresponding section of this preamble. This proposed rule, if finalized, would significantly reduce the amount of supplemental financial assurance required from oil, gas, and sulfur lessees operating on the OCS, thereby supporting the goals of E.O. 14154 Unleashing American Energy. BOEM estimates that a total of approximately $6.2 billion of financial burden to the regulated community will be reduced. This reduction of the financial burden increases the amount of capital available for oil and gas exploration and production on the OCS.","document_number":"2026-04517","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/03/09/2026-04517/risk-management-and-financial-assurance-for-ocs-lease-and-grant-obligations","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-03-09/pdf/2026-04517.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-04517.pdf?1772804709","publication_date":"2026-03-09","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Bureau of Ocean Energy Management","name":"Ocean Energy Management Bureau","id":575,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/ocean-energy-management-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/575","parent_id":253,"slug":"ocean-energy-management-bureau"}],"excerpts":"lease rights to the proved reserves) when determining supplemental financial assurance <span class=\"match\">requirements</span>; \n • adding an alternative option for addressing supplemental financial assurance <span class=\"match\">demands</span> for short-term decommissioning activities; and \n • removing the <span class=\"match\">requirement</span> that a lessee provide an appeal bond in the amount of the <span class=\"match\">demand</span> as a condition of staying the <span class=\"match\">demand</span> during the IBLA appeal process. \n With this rulemaking, the <span class=\"match\">Department</span> is proposing to consider <span class=\"match\">jointly</span> and severally liable predecessors and revise the credit rating threshold used for evaluating"},{"title":"Employment Authorization Reform for Asylum Applicants","type":"Proposed Rule","abstract":"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to modify regulations governing applications for asylum and withholding of removal (asylum applications) and employment authorization based on a pending asylum application.

Relying on an approach originally developed in the 1950s, PHMSA's regulations use class locations to provide an additional margin of safety in the design, construction, testing, operation, and maintenance of gas pipelines based on population density. When the class location of a pipeline changes due to an increase in population density, an operator may need to take certain actions to confirm or to revise the maximum allowable operating pressure of a segment. Because the methods traditionally used for that purpose do not account for modern risk management principles, PHMSA has granted special permits for more than two decades allowing operators to use an integrity-management-based alternative. This final rule adopts that `IM alternative' by regulation to provide operators with an additional method for confirming or restoring the maximum allowable operating pressure of certain eligible segments that experience class location changes.","document_number":"2026-00566","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/01/14/2026-00566/pipeline-safety-class-location-change-requirements","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-01-14/pdf/2026-00566.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-00566.pdf?1768311921","publication_date":"2026-01-14","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration","name":"Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration","id":408,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/pipeline-and-hazardous-materials-safety-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/408","parent_id":492,"slug":"pipeline-and-hazardous-materials-safety-administration"}],"excerpts":"accurately account for their role as <span class=\"match\">compliance</span> obligations, several of the eligibility <span class=\"match\">requirements</span> proposed in the NPRM have been incorporated into the initial or ongoing programmatic <span class=\"match\">requirements</span> in the IM alternative.
