  • Micah Chambers Special Assistant / Acting Director Office of Congressional & Legislative Affairs Office of the Secretary of the Interior
    From: Chambers, Micah To: Ryan Ullman Subject: BLM V/F Memo Date: Wednesday, April 12, 2017 12:02:34 PM Attachments: 4-6-17 VF CRA Briefing.pdf -- Micah Chambers Special Assistant / Acting Director Office of Congressional & Legislative Affairs Office of the Secretary of the Interior BLM Venting & Flaring Rule Summary of the Final Rule: The “Venting & Flaring Rule” (the Rule) is formally the Waste Prevention, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation rulemaking that replaced the requirements related to venting, flaring, and royalty-free use of gas contained in the 1979 Notice to Lessees and Operators of Onshore Federal and Indian Oil and Gas Leases, Royalty or Compensation for Oil and Gas Lost (NTL-4A). Currently, only 12 percent of operators have reported flared gas from oil well production. The Rule is codified in 43 CFR subparts 3178 and 3179 and became effective on January 17, 2017. Statutory Authority and Regulatory History: The Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (MLA) (30 U.S.C. §§ 188–287) subjects federal oil and gas leases to the condition that lessees will “use all reasonable precautions to prevent waste of oil and gas developed in the land . .” 30 U.S.C. § 225. Further, the MLA requires lessees to exercise “reasonable diligence, skill, and care” in their operations and requires lessees to observe “such rules for the health and safety of the miners and for the prevention of undue waste as may be prescribed by [the] Secretary [of the Interior].” 30 U.S.C. § 187. The Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act (FOGRMA) makes lessees liable for royalty payments on oil or gas lost or wasted from a lease site when such loss or waste is due to negligence or the failure to comply with applicable rules or regulations.
