DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

36 CFR Chapter II 

Report Prepared Pursuant to Executive 

Order 13783—Promoting Energy 

Independence and Economic Growth 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notification of final report. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Agriculture’s Forest Service (Forest 

Service) has prepared its final report 

pursuant to Section 2 of Executive 

Order 13783—Promoting Energy 

Independence and Economic Growth 

(E.O. 13783). Section 2 of E.O. 13783 

mandates an immediate review of all 

Federal agency actions that potentially 

unduly burden the safe, efficient 

development of domestic energy 

resources, and requires heads of Federal 

agencies to review all existing 

regulations, orders, guidance 

documents, policies, and any other 

similar agency actions (collectively, 

agency actions) that potentially unduly 

burden the development or use of 

domestically produced energy 

resources, with particular attention to 

oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy 

resources. E.O. 13783 also requires 

Federal agencies to make 

recommendations that could alleviate or 

eliminate aspects of their actions that 

unduly burden domestic energy 

production. 

DATES: November 1, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: The report is available on 

the Forest Service’s Web site at https:// 

www.fs.fed.us/managing-land/energy.

Sherri Thompson at 303–275–5147 or 

by mail at 1617 Cole Boulevard, 

Building 7, Lakewood, CO 80401. 

Individuals who use 

telecommunication devices for the deaf 

(TDD) may call the Federal Information 

Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339 

between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern 

Standard Time, Monday through Friday. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of E.O. 13783 is to eliminate 

unnecessary Federal procedures that 

obstruct, delay, curtail, or otherwise 

impose significant costs on the siting, 

permitting, production, utilization, 

transmission, or delivery of energy 

resources. On National Forest System 

lands, the USDA and the Forest Service 

play an important role in assuring that 

activities associated with Federal and 

private energy mineral resources, 

renewable energy projects, and energyrelated transmission and distribution 

facilities are conducted in a manner that 

minimizes adverse effects on Federal 

surface resources while avoiding 

regulatory burdens that unnecessarily 

encumber energy production, constrain 

economic growth, and prevent job 

creation. 

Pursuant to Section 2 of E.O. 13783, 

the Forest Service reviewed more than 

70 agency actions, including 

regulations, policies, guidance, orders, 

agreements with partner agencies, and 

programmatic analyses at the 

Washington Office and field levels of 

the agency to assess whether they 

unduly burden clean and safe domestic 

energy development. As a result of that 

review, the Forest Service recommends 

revising or rescinding parts of 15 agency 

actions to alleviate or eliminate undue 

burdens on the prudent development or 

use of domestic energy sources. 

Consistent with E.O. 13783, it is in the 

national interest to promote the clean 

and safe development of America’s vast 

energy resources. Adopting these 

recommendations would result in the 

revision of parts of three regulations, 

five policies, four agreements with other 

agencies, one programmatic analysis, 

and one order and rescinding part of 

one policy. The Forest Service’s 

recommendations are principally 

associated with streamlining agency 

procedures or clarifying agency policy 

to facilitate more efficient processing of 

energy proposals by the agency alone or 

in coordination with its partners.

Acting Associate Deputy Chief, National 

Forest System.
