As detailed in more depth below, BLM’s processing ofAPDs and NOSs during the shutdown violates public participation requirements under theagency’s own permitting regulations, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C.§§ 4321–4370h, NEPA regulations promulgated thereunder by the White House Council onEnvironmental Quality (“CEQ”), 40 C.F.R. § 1500, et seq., and the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976 (“FLPMA”), 43 U.S.C. §§ 1701–1787. BLM’s work also violates theAntideficiency Act’s prohibition against the receipt of voluntary services, the augmentation rule,and the miscellaneous receipts rule. 31 U.S.C. § 1341 et seq.As a result of these violations, we request that BLM immediately stop any and all workon oil and gas APDs and NOSs. We also request a phone call or in-person meeting with Bureauof Land Management and/or Department of Interior staff to discuss this issue as soon as possible.Finally, because many of the same public participation concerns apply to BLM’s processing ofits special February sale in Wyoming and first quarter oil and gas lease sales, we also request thatthe agency immediately stop any and all work on these as well.I.BackgroundLate last week, the media reported that BLM staffers were returning to work to processoil and gas permits in New Mexico and Wyoming during the government shutdown.1 Aninspection of BLM’s APD/NOS tracking program, Automated Fluid Minerals Support System(AFMSS), confirms that BLM staff in these states, and others, are processing oil and gas permits.As of the date of this letter, BLM has posted 166 APDs/NOSs in Alaska, Colorado, NewMexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Wyoming for “public notice” during the shutdown whichbegan on midnight on December 22, 2018. See Exhibit 1, AFMSS Report as of January 17, 2019.We object to BLM’s processing of all of the APDs listed in Exhibit 1. We also object to BLM’sprocessing of any future permits received during the shutdown, and BLM’s processing ofAPDs/NOSs that were received before the shutdown but which BLM has continued to processduring the shutdown.II.BLM’s Processing of APDs and NOSs During the Shutdown Violates PublicParticipation Requirements Under the Agency’s Regulations, NEPA, and FLPMA.To start, there is no doubt that BLM’s processing of APDs and NOSs during thegovernment shutdown violates public participation requirements under the agency’s regulations,NEPA, and FLPMA.BLM’s regulations regarding APDs and NOSs are found at 43 C.F.R. Part 3162. Pursuantto these, BLM is required to post an APD or NOS “for public inspection at least 30 days beforeaction to approve the Application for Permit to Drill[.]” 43 C.F.R. § 3162.3-1(g) (emphasisadded). BLM must post information on the company/operator submitting the APDs, the welllocation description or maps, and any substantial modifications to the lease terms. Id. And,“[u]pon initiation of the Application for Permit to Drill process,” BLM must “consult with theappropriate Federal surface management agency and with other interested parties asappropriate.” Id. § 3162.3-1(h).Similarly, NEPA regulations mandate that agencies “shall to the fullest extent possible . . [e]ncourage and facilitate public involvement in the decisions which affect the quality of theAlan Neuhauser, No Park Rangers or Food Inspections – But Government Reopens for Oil and Gas, U.S. News,Jan. 11, 2019, -government-reopens-for-oil-and-gas.12
human environment.” 40 C.F.R. § 1500.2(d). “NEPA procedures must insure that environmentalinformation is available to public officials and citizens before decisions are made and beforeactions are taken . . . . Accurate scientific analysis, expert agency comments, and public scrutinyare essential to implementing NEPA.” Id. § 1500.1(b) (emphasis added). BLM regulations alsoplainly require the agency to “prepare an environmental record of review or an environmentalassessment” “[b]efore approving any Application for Permit to Drill submitted pursuant to §3162.3-1 of this title[.]” 43 C.F.R. § 3162.5-1.Finally, FLPMA also requires meaningful public participation in public landsmanagement decisions. 43 U.S.C. § 1739(e). Specifically, “the Secretary [of Interior] shallestablish procedures, including public hearings where appropriate, to give the Federal, State, andlocal governments and the public adequate notice and an opportunity to comment upon theformulation of standards and criteria for, and to participate in, the preparation and execution ofplans and programs for, and the management of, the public lands.” Id. (emphasis added).Here, BLM is violating all of these provisions. The public cannot discuss postedAPDs/NOSs with the agency. The public cannot visit a BLM office in person to view anapplication. The public cannot review and discuss associated NEPA documents with BLMstaffers. And, BLM is not available to accept comments on APDs/NOSs. In short, it isimpossible for the public to inspect or otherwise provide meaningful feedback on any pendingAPDs/NOSs or NEPA analyses related to these applications. Instead, the public is entirelylocked out of the process.Moreover, without other agency staffers, such as archaeologists and wildlife biologists,the agency also cannot complete its requirements to consult. Although the media has speculatedthat permits requiring additional consultation will not be processed, 2 because those BLM staffershave not received an exemption to work during the shutdown, there is no way to verify this.In sum, because BLM is not providing for public engagement that results in legitimatereview and consideration of public comment, the agency must immediately cease all work onAPDs/NOSs in order to ensure compliance with BLM regulations, NEPA, and FLPMA.III.BLM’s Processing of APDs and NOSs Violates the Antideficiency Act.BLM’s processing of APDs/NOSs during the shutdown also violates the AntideficiencyAct. Under the Act, “[a]n officer or employee of the United States Government or of the Districtof Columbia government may not accept voluntary services for either government or employpersonal services exceeding that authorized by law except for emergencies involving the safetyof human life or the protection of property.” 31 U.S.C. § 1342. According to this same provision,the term “emergencies involving the safety of human life or the protection of property” “does notinclude ongoing, regular functions of government the suspension of which would not imminentlythreaten the safety of human life or the protection of property.” Id.The Attorney General has construed this phrase to include two requirements:2Heather Richards, Limited Federal Workers Return to Work on Wyoming Energy Projects During Shutdown, Jan.11, 2019, ticle 9195220d-790f-5e11-ae51-55438b128573.html.3
First, there must be some reasonable and articulable connection between thefunction to be performed and the safety of human life or the protection ofproperty. Second, there must be some reasonable likelihood that the safety ofhuman life or the protection of property would be compromised, in some degree,by delay in the performance of the function in question.DOJ, Authority for the Continuance of Government Functions During aTemporary Lapse in Appropriations, Jan. 16, 1981. 3Based on the plain language of the Act and the Attorney General’s guidance on theemergency provision, BLM cannot allow its employees to work without pay to process APDs orNOSs. Id.BLM has provided no explanation as to how a lapse in oil and gas permitting constitutesan emergency “involving the safety of human life or the protection of property.” In fact, theopposite is true. The APDs/NOSs BLM is currently working on are new permits. A number ofarticles summarizing oil and gas production data from the BLM have concluded that there is noneed for additional permits because less than half of lands leased for oil and gas are currentlyproducing. Exhibit 2, Center for American Progress, Oil and Gas Companies Gain byStockpiling America’s Federal Land, Aug. 29, 2018; see also BLM, Oil and Gas Statistics, Table2, Acreage in Effect & Table 5, Number of Producing erals/oil-and-gas/oil-and-gas-statistics (lastvisited Jan. 15, 2019). Thus, BLM’s actions defy explanation.Although BLM has hinted that it believes its actions are legal because the agency chargesprocessing fees for oil and gas permits, this conclusion is incorrect. According to theGovernment Accountability Office (GAO), “an agency may not augment its appropriations fromoutside sources without specific statutory authority.” GAO, Principles of Federal AppropriationsLaw at 6-162 (3d. 2006), https://www.gao.gov/assets/210/202819.pdf. Additionally, according tothe miscellaneous receipts rule, an agency must deposit any funds received directly into theTreasury; it cannot use these funds for direct appropriation Id. at 6-166. As a result, BLM mustcarefully consider whether it is violating these provisions by accepting oil and gas permittingfees before Congress has appropriated money to the agency.3Available online at: https://www.justice.gov/file/22536/download.4
IV.ConclusionIn sum, because of the reasons outlined above, we request that BLM comply with itsregulations, NEPA, FLPMA, and the Antideficiency Act and stop any and all work on oil andgas APDs and NOSs and the first quarter lease sales, including the special February lease sale inWyoming, immediately.Sincerely,Rebecca Fischer, Climate & Energy Program AttorneyWildEarth Guardians2590 Walnut St.Denver, CO lly Fuller, Energy and Mining Campaign DirectorWestern Watersheds ProjectP.O.
