Bill Summary

A BILL To restore onshore energy production.

AI Summary

This bill aims to restore onshore energy production by requiring the Secretary of the Interior to immediately resume quarterly onshore oil and gas lease sales in compliance with the Mineral Leasing Act. The bill amends the Mineral Leasing Act to define "eligible lands" and "available lands" for leasing, and mandates a minimum of four oil and gas lease sales per fiscal year in certain states, including Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and others. The bill also requires the Secretary to conduct replacement sales if a scheduled sale is canceled, delayed, or deferred, or if less than 25% of the offered area receives a bid. Additionally, the Secretary must submit a report to Congress within 30 days of a missed sale, explaining the reason for the missed sale.
