SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On March 27, 2013, the BLM 

published a proposed rule (78 FR 

18547) to amend the BLM’s commercial 

oil shale regulations to address concerns 

about the royalty system in existing 

regulations and to provide more detail 

to the environmental protection 

requirements. The 60-day comment 

period for the proposed rule ended on 

May 28, 2013. 

The BLM has received requests from 

interested parties asking for an 

extension of the comment period. Each 

of the requests expressed the need for 

additional time to conduct a 

comprehensive review of the proposed 

regulatory revisions and potential 

impacts of the rule. The BLM has 

considered the requests and by this 

notice, the comment period is reopened 

for an additional 30 days. Please do not 

resubmit comments previously 

submitted to BLM during the comment 

period that closed on May 28, 2013. 

II. Request for Comments

rule should be specific, should be 

confined to issues pertinent to the 

proposed rule, and should explain the 

reason for any recommended change. 

Where possible, comments should 

reference the specific section or 

paragraph of the proposed rule that the 

comment is addressing. The BLM need 

not consider or include in the 

Administrative Record for the proposed 

rule comments that it receives after the 

close of the comment period (see DATES) 

or comments delivered to an address 

other than those listed above (see 

ADDRESSES). Comments, including 

names and street addresses of 

respondents, will be available for public 

review at the U.S. Department of the
