issues. By this notice, the BLM
announces the opening of a 30-day
public comment period regarding the
draft Secretary’s Order. The revised
guidelines in the draft Secretary’s Order
are designed to further promote the
efficient development of potash, oil, and
gas resources, while minimizing conflict
between the industries and ensuring the
safety of operations. Among other
benefits, the revised guidelines are
expected to enhance the safety of
underground potash miners and allow
for full development of oil and gas
leaseholds with fewer environmental
impacts.

considered, the BLM must receive
written comments on the draft
Secretary’s Order within 30 days
