They do not have a significant or unique 

effect on State, local, or Tribal

[BLM_HQ_FRN_MO4500178504] 

Clarifying the Implementation of 

Certain BLM Oil and Gas Measurement 

Regulations 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed notice to lessees. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) is proposing to 

adopt Notice to Lessees No. 5 (NTL–5), 

clarifying when and how operators are 

expected to comply with certain 

requirements in the oil and gas 

measurement regulations, which 

became effective in January 2017. 

DATES: Send your comments on the 

proposed NTL–5, included below and 

entitled, Compliance with the Site 

Security, Measurement of Oil, and 

Measurement of Gas, 43 CFR part 3170, 

to the BLM on or before December 16, 

2024. The BLM is not obligated to 

consider any comments received after 

this date in making its decision on the 

final NTL–5. 

ADDRESSES: You may send written 

comments by any of the following 

methods: 

Mail, personal, or messenger delivery: 

U.S. Department of the Interior, Director 

(630), Bureau of Land Management, 

1849 C St. NW, Room 5646, 

Washington, DC 20240, Attention: NTL– 

5. 

Electronic mail: blm_hq_ntl5@

blm.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

Ajak, Acting Division Chief, Fluid 

Minerals Division, telephone: 505–549– 

9654, email: jajak@blm.gov, or by mail 

to Bureau of Land Management, 1849 C 

St. NW, Room 5633, Washington, DC 

20240, for information regarding the 

substance of this Notice to Lessees. 

Individuals in the United States who 

are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or 

have a speech disability may dial 711 

(TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access 

telecommunications relay services. 

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 BLM 

will respond to any relevant and 

substantive public comments it receives 

on this proposed NTL–5 when it 

ultimately publishes any final NTL–5 in 

the Federal Register. If the BLM 

publishes a final NTL–5, it will take 

effect 30 days after its publication date. 

Because the oil and gas measurement 

rules (43 CFR subparts 3174 and 3175) 

became effective on January 17, 2017, 

operators of onshore oil and gas leases 

have had sufficient time to prepare for 

compliance. Further, each of the three 

notifications within this proposed NTL– 

5 have additional, independent 

compliance dates—ranging from 3 

months to 1 year—depending upon the 

requirement. Therefore, if the BLM 

publishes a final NTL–5, it will consider 

an effective date of 30 days following 

the publication of the final NTL–5 as 

sufficient notice for operator 

compliance. 

Compliance With the Site Security, 

Measurement of Oil, and Measurement 

of Gas 

43 CFR Part 3170 

(Proposed NTL–5) 

This proposed Notice is issued 

pursuant to 43 CFR 3164.2, which 

authorizes the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) to issue a Notice to 

Lessees (NTL) when necessary to 

implement the BLM’s oil and gas 

regulations. As explained in detail 

below, there is a need to clarify when 

and how operators are expected to 

comply with certain requirements in the 

oil and gas measurement regulations (43 

CFR subparts 3174 and 3175), which 

became effective in January of 2017. 

Therefore, the BLM is hereby notifying
