{"abstract":"On May 11, 2012, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published in the Federal Register a proposed rule entitled Oil and Gas; Well Stimulation, Including Hydraulic Fracturing, on Federal and Indian Lands. The BLM has used the comments on that draft to make improvements and is now seeking additional comment on a revised proposed rule. Key issues in this updated draft include: the use of an expanded set of cement evaluation tools to help ensure that usable water zones have been isolated and protected from contamination; and more detailed guidance on how trade secrets claims will be handled, modeled on the procedures promulgated by the State of Colorado. The revised proposed rule would also provide opportunities for the BLM to coordinate standards and processes with individual States and tribes to reduce administrative costs and to improve efficiency.","action":"Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comment.","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 Land Management","name":"Land Management Bureau","id":275,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/land-management-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/275","parent_id":253,"slug":"land-management-bureau"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2013/05/24/2013-12154.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":3160,"title":43}],"citation":"78 FR 31636","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2013-06-24","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Send your comments on this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPR) to the BLM on or before June 24, 2013.
