Bureau of Land Management

Mississippi land no longer up for grabs, as the fed continues to postpone or cancel the sale of public parcels.

Wyoming sold the most parcels during the recent US Bureau of Land Management’s auction for oil and gas leases on federal land.

The Bureau of Land Management may stop studying how its long-term blueprints for millions of acres of public lands would affect the environment.

Following a further extension of an agreement between state and federal agencies regarding oil and gas industry oversight on public lands, the Colorado state director of the Bureau of Land Management is seeking to provide a better understanding of just what that agreement does and does not do.

Environmentalists have sued a US agency to try to stop it from allowing oil and gas drilling on a vast stretch of federal land in Nevada, where the government is reversing protections put in place 9 months ago under the Obama administration.

The Interior Department is preparing to delay implementation of a rule limiting methane waste at oil and natural gas drilling sites.

The federal government is barred from auctioning off new drilling rights on public lands in California for at least another year under a settlement reached with environmental groups, one of the groups told Bloomberg.
