DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

43 CFR Part 3170 

[BLM_HQ_FRN_MO4500173878] 

RIN 1004–AE90 

Onshore Oil and Gas Operations; 

Federal and Indian Oil and Gas Leases; 

Codification of Onshore Orders 1, 2, 6, 

and 7; Correction 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Correcting amendment. 

SUMMARY: On June 16, 2023, the Bureau 

of Land Management (BLM) published a 

final rule that codified Onshore Order 

1—Approval of Operations; Onshore 

Order 2—Drilling Operations on Federal 

and Indian Oil and Gas Leases; Onshore 

Order 6—Hydrogen Sulfide Operations; 

and Onshore Order 7—Disposal of 

Produced Water into the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR). This action 

corrects two cross references in that 

regulation. 

DATES: Effective on November 1, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: You may send inquiries or 

suggestions to Director (630), Bureau of 

Land Management, 1849 C St. NW, 

Room 5646, Washington, DC 20240; 

Attention: RIN 1004–AE90. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Yvette Fields, Chief, Division of Fluid 

Minerals, telephone: 240–712–8358, 

email: yfields@blm.gov; or Faith 

Bremner, Regulatory Analyst, Division 

of Regulatory Affairs, email: fbremner@

blm.gov. Individuals in the United 

States who are deaf, blind, hard of 

hearing, or have a speech disability may 

dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to 

access telecommunications relay 

services for contacting Ms. Fields. 

Individuals outside the United States 

should use the relay services offered 

within their country to make 

international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final 

codification rule (June 16, 2023, 88 FR 

39514), placed the four Onshore Orders 

into the CFR without making any 

substantive changes to their content. 

The only changes made to the four 

Onshore Orders were related to 

formatting, such as adding new section 

and paragraph designations, so that the 

Orders conform to the Office of the 

Federal Register’s Document Drafting 

Handbook requirements. Since the four 

Onshore Orders were duly promulgated 

through prior notice-and-comment 

rulemakings, and the final rule did not 

change them, the BLM codified the 

orders in the CFR as a final rule without 

any further public comment. 

The technical amendment that is the 

subject of this correction is prompted by 

the inclusion of two incorrect cross 

references in the final codification rule. 

During the process of preparing the final 

rule for publication and updating cross 

references throughout the document, the 

BLM inadvertently included incorrect 

cross references in a portion of the final 

rule that pertain to blowout preventer 

testing requirements. These 

requirements are found at 43 CFR 

3172.6. These testing requirements have 

been in effect since 1988. 

List of Subjects in 43 CFR Part 3170 

Administrative practice and 

procedure, Disposal of produced water,

operations, Indians-lands, Immediate 

assessments, Mineral royalties, Oil and 

gas exploration, Oil and gas

Accordingly, 43 CFR part 3170 is 

corrected by making the following 

correcting amendments:

RIN 1018–BE53 

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Reclassifying Mitracarpus 

Polycladus From Endangered to 

Threatened With a Section 4(d) Rule 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), are 

reclassifying Mitracarpus polycladus (a 

plant, no common name) from 

endangered to threatened (downlist) 

under the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (Act). This action is 

based on our evaluation of the best 

available scientific and commercial 

information, which indicates that the 

species’ status has improved such that 

it is not currently in danger of 

extinction throughout all or a significant 

portion of its range, but that it is still 

likely to become so in the foreseeable 

future. We are also finalizing a rule 

issued under section 4(d) of the Act that 

provides for the conservation of the 

species. 

DATES: This rule is effective December 1, 

2023. 

ADDRESSES: The proposed rule, this 

final rule, and supporting documents 

are available at https://www.fws.gov/ 

office/caribbean-ecological-services/ 

library and at https://

FWS–R4–ES–2021–0058.
