PERMITTING IN ALASKA
Ex. Ord. No. 13580, July 12, 2011, 76 F.R. 41989, pro-
vided:
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, and in order to establish an interagency
working group to coordinate the efforts of Federal
agencies responsible for overseeing the safe and respon-
sible development of onshore and offshore energy re-
sources and associated infrastructure in Alaska and to
help reduce our dependence on foreign oil, it is hereby
ordered as follows:
SECTION 1. Policy. Interagency coordination is impor-
tant for the safe, responsible, and efficient development
of oil and natural gas resources in Alaska, both onshore
and on the Alaska Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), while
protecting human health and the environment, as well
as indigenous populations. A number of executive de-
partments and agencies (agencies) are charged with en-
suring that resource development projects in Alaska
comply with health, safety, and environmental protec-
tion standards. To formalize and promote ongoing
interagency coordination, this order establishes a high-
level, interagency working group that will facilitate
coordinated and efficient domestic energy development
and permitting in Alaska while ensuring that all appli-
cable standards are fully met.
