SD Dept of Ag proposes new Oil and Gas Mediation Rules

The South Dakota Oil and Gas Association recently received notice on the proposed new rules for the expansion of the mediation program for federal lands mediation, and oil and gas mediation.  The reason for adopting the new rules, according to the Department of Agriculture is to enhance the existing farm loan mediation program and to adopt rules for the federal land mediation and oil and gas mediation areas.
SDOGA has obtained a copy of the new proposed rules to the oil and gas mediation.  I am currently reviewing the rules, and can provide a copy to anyone interested in reviewing it themselves.  The rules are open to the public for review.  I recommend any members who have interest in the mediation process to voice their concerns directly to SDOGA via email or by calling me, so I can voice concerns at the public hearing on behalf of members.  A copy of the Notice of Hearing can be found here.
