This morning the Department of Interior, Office of the Secretary, released the new Secretarial Order for the Potash area. Note that the order is final. In addition, the DOI has a new web-page on the order which is at this link. Note that in response to comments submitted by Greg Nibert, former President of IPANM, on our behalf, the DOI did revise a several definitions and terms in the document. The drilling island concept is still prevalent in the document and will be a preferential mode of obtaining permits in the potash area moving forward. The Order must be published in the Federal Register to be final, which is expected to occur soon.
