## Abstract

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is issuing an interim rule to implement the requirements of the Helium Privatization Act of 1996. This rule establishes the procedures of the helium program and defines the obligations of Federal helium suppliers and Federal helium users. Also, this interim rule removes the Bureau of Mines regulations governing helium distribution contracts because this responsibility is now under BLM's jurisdiction.
