Potential for Oil Shale Development; 

Withdrawal of the Call for 

Nominations—Oil Shale Research, 

Development, and Demonstration (R, 

D, and D) Program and Request for 

Public Comment 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On January 15, 2009, the BLM 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice entitled ‘‘Potential for Oil Shale 

Development; Call for Nominations— 

Oil Shale Research, Development, and 

Demonstration (R, D, and D) Program’’ 

(see 74 FR 2611). The new 

Administration intends to review and 

reconsider certain aspects of the current 

solicitation, including lease acreage and 

the rules that would govern conversion 

of an R, D, and D lease to a commercial 

lease, particularly those related to 

royalty rates. To ensure a fair return to 

the public for potential commercial 

development of these Federal resources, 

the Administration has determined that 

further information is needed. 

Accordingly, the BLM is seeking public 

comment on the terms and conditions of 

any future oil shale R, D, and D leases 

that it may issue. The BLM therefore 

withdraws the January 15, 2009, 

solicitation of the nomination of parcels 

to be leased for R, D, and D of oil shale 

recovery technologies in Colorado, 

Utah, and Wyoming. 

DATES: The withdrawal is effective 

February 27, 2009. Please submit 

comments on the terms and conditions 

of any future oil shale R, D, and D leases 

no later than May 28, 2009 to assure that 

they are considered. 

ADDRESSES: Please hand-deliver written 

comments to Nick Douglas, Suite 807, 

1620 L Street, NW., Washington, DC. 

You may send comments via overnight 

delivery to this same address. Mail 

U.S.P.S. written comments to BLM 

(Attn: Nick Douglas), Minerals and 

Realty Management, Mail Stop: LS 807,
