71 notices published in December by Interior Department

There were 71 notices published by the Interior Department in December, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Notice of Intent To Prepare the Hult Reservoir and Dam Safety Environmental Impact Statement in Lane County, OR, was submitted on December 30, 2021.

The Interior Department published 71 the month before, unchanged for the current month.

The Department oversees more than 500 million acres of land. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the department has contributed to a growing water crisis and holds many lands which could be better managed.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
