BLM Has Begun Work on State Variances From Requirements of Federal Fracking Rule

摘要

By the time new federal regulations on hydraulic fracturing go into effect June 24, the Bureau of Land Management intends to have identified the regulatory variances that will be allowed in some states, BLM Director Neil Kornze said March 24. Kornze told Rep. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) during a House Natural Resources subcommittee hearing that he has begun the work of comparing elements of the new federal rule with Wyoming regulations to determine the regulations that will merit a variance for the state.
