    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), part of the Interior Department, has withdrawn the public review period and virtual public hearings for the proposed Cook Inlet Lease Sale 258.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.

    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is putting a pause on asking people what they think about a plan to allow companies to look for oil and gas in a place called Cook Inlet. They are doing this because a big rule says they need to check everything carefully before letting this happen.

    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has announced the availability of the Area Identification for the proposed Cook Inlet Oil and Gas Lease Sale 258 in northern Cook Inlet, Alaska. This step is part of the 2017-2022 National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program. The Area ID is a preliminary assessment and does not mean that leasing will definitely occur; further steps, including environmental analysis and public comments, are still needed. More information is accessible on BOEM's website and through contact with their Alaska Regional Office.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is thinking about letting companies explore a part of the sea in Alaska to see if they can find oil and gas, but they need to ask for everyone's thoughts and make sure it's safe first.
