Potential for Oil Shale Development; Withdrawal of the Call for
Nominations--Oil Shale Research, Development, and Demonstration (R, D,
and D) Program and Request for Public Comment
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On January 15, 2009, the BLM published in the Federal Register
a notice entitled ``Potential for Oil Shale Development; Call for
Nominations--Oil Shale Research, Development, and Demonstration (R, D,
and D) Program'' (see 74 FR 2611). The new Administration intends to
review and reconsider certain aspects of the current solicitation,
including lease acreage and the rules that would govern conversion of
an R, D, and D lease to a commercial lease, particularly those related
to royalty rates. To ensure a fair return to the public for potential
commercial development of these Federal resources, the Administration
has determined that further information is needed. Accordingly, the BLM
is seeking public comment on the terms and conditions of any future oil
shale R, D, and D leases that it may issue. The BLM therefore withdraws
the January 15, 2009, solicitation of the nomination of parcels to be
leased for R, D, and D of oil shale recovery technologies in Colorado,
Utah, and Wyoming.
DATES: The withdrawal is effective February 27, 2009. Please submit
comments on the terms and conditions of any future oil shale R, D, and
D leases no later than May 28, 2009 to assure that they are considered.
ADDRESSES: Please hand-deliver written comments to Nick Douglas, Suite
807, 1620 L Street, NW., Washington, DC. You may send comments via
overnight delivery to this same address. Mail U.S.P.S. written comments
to BLM (Attn: Nick Douglas), Minerals and Realty Management, Mail Stop:
LS 807, 1849 C Street, NW., Washington, DC 20240. You may also send
comments electronically to Nick Douglas at Nick_Douglas@blm.gov.
