    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced the availability of the Record of Decision (ROD) for the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program. This decision, signed by the Acting Deputy Secretary of the Department of the Interior, finalizes the plan to implement an oil and gas leasing program in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The decision follows the requirements set by a U.S. law to manage these leasing activities. Additional details, including the specific lands available for leasing and the rules for leasing operations, have been determined in the ROD.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Land Management has decided how to safely and fairly let companies use some land in Alaska for oil and gas, making sure they follow rules to protect nature. This means they've figured out which parts of the land can be used and what companies need to do to keep everything safe and fair.

    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), part of the Interior Department, has withdrawn the public review period and virtual public hearings for the proposed Cook Inlet Lease Sale 258.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

    Simple Explanation

    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    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has rescinded its previous notice to create an environmental impact statement for oil and gas leasing decisions in seven states, covering the period from February 2015 to December 2020. This decision aligns with Executive Order 14154 and Secretary's Order 3418, both titled "Unleashing American Energy." The original notice of intent was published in the Federal Register on January 16, 2025. For more details, individuals can contact Janna Simonsen or John Ajak at the BLM.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) changed its mind about making a big environmental report for oil and gas projects in some states from 2015 to 2020, and now they won't be doing it anymore. They decided this because of some important rules from the government about using more American energy.
