Interior Ends Long-Expired Data Sharing Grace Period

## Summary

The Department of the Interior is officially ending a 1-year grace period for sharing geophysical data that expired back in 2010. This change affects companies and researchers who handle this data, making sure everyone follows the current rules without old exceptions. No new fees or deadlines, just cleaning up the rulebook to keep things clear and fair.

## Abstract

The Department of the Interior (the Department or DOI), acting through the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), is amending the Department's regulations to rescind the portion of a section, describing a grace period for release of geophysical data, that expired in 2010. This portion of the section is not necessary because it has expired. DOI is also making minor modifications effecting this rescission to another portion of the section.
