Bill Summary

HOARD Act Having Open Access to Relevant Data Act

AI Summary

This bill, known as the Having Open Access to Relevant Data Act (HOARD Act), requires the Secretary of the Interior to submit an annual report to Congress on certain statistics related to applications for permits to drill oil or gas wells (APDs). The report must include the number of approved APDs where drilling has not begun, the average time for BLM (Bureau of Land Management) to process APDs, and the average cost of approving an APD. Additionally, the bill places limitations on the use of federal funds to streamline BLM processing of APDs if the number of approved but undrilled APDs is too high, and restricts certain applicants from participating in competitive bidding for oil and gas leases if they have an excessive number of approved but undrilled APDs.
