    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has rescheduled the bid opening date for an oil and gas lease sale in the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This change comes after a federal executive order mandated the closure of government offices on January 9, 2025. The new date for opening the bids is January 10, 2025, at 10 a.m. Alaska Standard Time. However, the deadline for submitting sealed bids remains unchanged, with all bids due by January 6, 2025, at 4 p.m.

    Simple Explanation

    The BLM is changing the date for checking who wants to buy spots to look for oil in a special place called the Coastal Plain, because the government will be closed one day. Now, they will look at the offers on January 10, 2025, but everyone must send in their offers by January 6, 2025.

    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released the Record of Decision for the Greater Sage-Grouse habitat management in Oregon, stating no new land use planning is needed. After years of planning and environmental reviews, the BLM has addressed all necessary conservation efforts, and the existing plans from 2019 will remain unchanged. The comprehensive review included analyzing environmental impacts, considering a wide range of alternatives, and discussing compensatory mitigation. This decision is final and not open to protest or appeal.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of land in Oregon looked at where special birds called Greater Sage-Grouse live and decided to keep things the same as before because their earlier plans are doing a good job. They also said that no one can complain or ask them to change their minds about this decision.

    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published a notice explaining why it rejected the Governor of Wyoming's recommendations regarding the Buffalo Field Office Proposed Resource Management Plan Amendment and the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. The BLM determined that the Governor's suggestions did not align with national interests because they favored coal leasing, which conflicts with current federal policies and executive orders aimed at addressing climate change. The BLM emphasized its responsibility to balance state and national interests, focusing on policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support renewable energy. The agency found that continued coal leasing would not support these national goals and interests.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) decided not to follow the Wyoming Governor's idea to continue coal mining because it doesn't match with the country's plan to stop climate change by using less coal and more clean energy.

Therefore, the decision will follow the same course set in the 2019 plan amendment, and it cannot be appealed or protested.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Land Management decided they will keep taking care of a special bird's home, called the Greater Sage-Grouse, in Colorado the same way they have been since 2019, and they don't need to change their plans or talk about it more.
