WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 -- Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has issued a rule called: Rescission of Renewable Energy Leasing Schedule.

The rule was published in the Federal Register on Aug. 5 by Adam G. Suess, Acting Assistant Secretary, Land Minerals Management.

Summary: The Department of the Interior (the Department or DOI), acting through the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), is amending the Department's regulations to rescind a section that provides for publishing a renewable energy leasing schedule every 2 years. This section is not necessary because it is not mandated by the statute for renewable energy regulations.
