**Oil and Gas; Well Stimulation, Including Hydraulic Fracturing, on**  **Federal and Indian Lands**

**AGENCY :**  Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

**ACTION :**  Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

**SUMMARY :**  On May 11, 2012, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published in the Federal Register a proposed rule to regulate hydraulic fracturing on public land and Indian land. The rule would require disclosure to the public of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing on public land and Indian land, strengthen regulations related to well-bore integrity, and address issues related to flowback water. This rule is necessary to provide useful information to the public and to help ensure that hydraulic fracturing is conducted in a way that adequately protects the environment.

Due to the complexity of the rule and the issues surrounding it, the BLM is extending the comment period for 60 days beyond the end of the initial comment period. As a result of this extension, the comment period will now close on September 10, 2012.

**DATES :**  The comment period for the proposed rule published May 11, 2012, at 77 FR 27691, is extended. Send your comments on this proposed rule to the BLM on or before September 10, 2012. The BLM need not consider, or include in the administrative record for the final rule, comments that the BLM receives after the close of the comment period or comments delivered to an address other than those listed below (see **ADDRESSES**).

While you can ask in your comment to withhold from public review your personal identifying information, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Background

The proposed rule was published on May 11, 2012 (77 FR 27691), with a 60- day comment period closing on July 10, 2012. Since publication, the BLM has received numerous requests for extension of the comment period on the proposed rule. Because of the complexity of the rule and due to the controversial nature of well stimulation procedures, the BLM is hereby extending the comment period on the rule for 60 days. The closing date of the extended comment period is September 10, 2012.

Dated: June 20, 2012. Marcilynn A. Burke, Acting Assistant Secretary, Land and Minerals Management.
