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).

Please make your comments as

this proposed rule, and explain the basis 

for your comments. The comments and

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.
