土地管理局正在就 2019 年 3 月和 6 月租赁销售中提供的石油和天然气地块的最新分析征求公众意见。意见征询期将于 2025 年 1 月 9 日结束。

尽管销售是在 2019 年举行的，但土地管理局未能完成部落协商并解决当时收到的抗议。2024 年，土地管理局完成了包括部落协商在内的最新分析，目前正在寻求进一步的公众意见。土地管理局将利用公众提供的信息来帮助完成对每个地块的审查，并确定这些地块的租赁是否符合所有适用的法律、政策和土地使用计划。

BLM 正在分析的地块以及 GIS 图层和评论说明可在 BLM 的 ePlanning 网站上找到：

The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public comment on the updated analysis for oil and gas parcels offered in the March and June 2019 lease sales. The comment period ends Jan. 9, 2025.

Although the sales were held in 2019, the BLM was unable to complete Tribal consultation and resolve the protests received at that time. In 2024, the BLM completed an updated analysis, including Tribal consultation, and is now seeking further public input. The BLM will use information from the public to help complete its review of each parcel and determine if leasing of these parcels conforms with all applicable laws, policies, and land use plans.

The parcels that the BLM is analyzing, as well as GIS Layers and instructions on how to comment, are available on the BLM’s ePlanning website at:
