    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), part of the Interior Department, has withdrawn the public review period and virtual public hearings for the proposed Cook Inlet Lease Sale 258. This action, effective immediately, cancels the comment period and hearings originally scheduled for February 9-11, 2021, in response to Executive Order 14008. This order called for a pause on new oil and gas leasing on public lands and waters until a comprehensive review is completed. The withdrawal aims to save administrative costs while the review is underway.
