_______________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY: This notice provides the semiannual agenda of rules scheduled

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With this publication, the Department
satisfies the requirement of Executive Order 12866 that the Department
publish an agenda of rules that we have issued or expect to issue and
of currently effective rules that we have scheduled for review.
Simultaneously, the Department meets the requirement of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) to publish an
agenda in April and October of each year identifying rules that
will have significant economic effects on a substantial number of
small entities. We have specifically identified in the agenda rules
that will have such effects.
This edition of the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and
Deregulatory Actions includes The Regulatory Plan, which appears in
both the online Unified Agenda and in part II of today's Federal
Register. The Department's Statement of Regulatory Priorities is
included in the plan.

390. NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE SYSTEM; OIL AND GAS
REGULATIONS
Legal Authority: 16 USC 668dd-ee; 42 USC 7401 et seq; 16 USC 1131 to
1136; 40 CFR 51.300 to 51.309
Abstract: We propose regulations that ensure that all operators
conducting oil or gas operations within a National Wildlife Refuge
System unit do so in a manner as to prevent or minimize damage to
National Wildlife Refuge System resources, visitor values, and
management objectives. FWS does not intend these regulations to result
in a taking of a property Interest, but rather to impose reasonable
controls on operations that affect federally owned or controlled lands
and/or waters.

391. ENDANGERED AND THREATENED WILDLIFE AND PLANTS; REVISION OF
REGULATIONS THAT ESTABLISH EXEMPTIONS FOR CERTAIN ANTELOPE SPECIES
Legal Authority: 16 USC 1531 et seq
Abstract: We are publishing a final rule to repeal section (h) from 50
CFR 17.21. This final rule is in response to a judicial decision that
50 CFR 17.21(h) was promulgated in contradiction to the Endangered
Species Act.
