Amidst its many challenges and priorities, the new Administration has already initiated major changes to public lands and environmental policies, with more change to come. During his campaign, President Biden pushed back on charges that he would ban hydraulic fracturing, but also committed to halt oil and gas development on federal lands to instead promote wind and solar energy. Energy development on public lands, however, constitutes just one pivot in a suite of anticipated pivots in federal policy affecting energy development. For example, the Biden-led EPA has resumed the Obama-era federal enforcement and regulatory programs designed to significantly cut methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. Significant changes with impacts across industry sectors are also already in progress or anticipated relative to 404 permitting, the Superfund program, emerging contaminants, and other major initiatives. This discussion will highlight the tools the Administration is using to jumpstart its agenda, including Executive Orders, guidance, and enforcement to effectuate these changes.

This program has been approved for three general Continuing Legal Education credits in the state of Colorado.

The Biden Administration’s first year included a flurry of activity at the Department of the Interior – from halting onshore and offshore oil and gas leasing to rolling back Trump-era regulations, proposing to list species under the Endangered Species Act, and announcing new policies and regulations that will impact where and how renewable and conventional energy is developed on federal lands. This webinar will address proposed changes to regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act, and Migratory Bird Treaty Act; proposed listings under the ESA; the America the Beautiful (30 x 30) effort; the state of oil and gas leasing; and efforts to promote renewable energy on public lands. Please join Davis Graham and your industry colleagues for a comprehensive survey of these regulatory and administrative initiatives.

The confirmed speaker for this program, which is pending approval for one general Continuing Legal Education credit in the state of Colorado, is:

• Katie Schroder, Partner, Davis Graham
