BILLING CODE 6560-50-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management 43 CFR Parts 3100 and 3170 [17X.LLWO310000.L13100000.PP0000] RIN 1004-AE14 Waste Prevention, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation; Correction AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior. ACTION: Final rule; correction. SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management

(BLM)is correcting a final rule that appeared in the **Federal Register** on November 18, 2016. The document promulgated new regulations to reduce waste of natural gas from venting, flaring, and leaks during oil and natural gas production activities on onshore Federal and Indian (other than Osage Tribe) leases. The regulations also clarify when produced gas lost through venting, flaring, or leaks is subject to royalties, and when oil and gas production may be used royalty-free on-site. This document corrects several minor errors that were introduced by the Office of the Federal Register during formatting, as well as one erroneous cross-reference, in the text of the final rule. DATES: Effective January 17, 2017. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Timothy Spisak at the BLM Washington Office, 20 M Street SE., Room 2134LM, Washington, DC 20003, or by telephone at 202-912-7311.
