This bill, the Fueling American Prosperity Act, requires the Secretary of the Interior to hold certain offshore oil and gas lease sales by June 30, 2022, and to finalize the next offshore oil and gas leasing program for 2022-2027 by the same date. It also mandates the immediate resumption of onshore oil and gas lease sales and requires the Secretary to conduct a minimum of four annual lease sales in several specified states. Additionally, the bill establishes timelines for completing environmental assessments and impact statements during periods of high gas prices, and imposes a hiring freeze and other limitations on the Department of the Interior if the bill's deadlines are not met.
