Brief", "summary": "Under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, as amended (OCSLA; 43 U.S.C. \u00a71331 ff.), the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) must prepare and maintain forward-looking five-year plans\u2014referred to by BOEM as five-year programs\u2014for proposed public oil and gas lease sales on the U.S. outer continental shelf (OCS). On January 4, 2018, BOEM released a draft proposed program (DPP) for the period from late 2019 through mid-2024. The DPP proposes 47 lease sales during the five-year period: 12 sales in the Gulf of Mexico region, 19 in the Alaska region, 9 in the Atlantic region, and 7 in the Pacific region. \nBOEM\u2019s development of a five-year program typically takes place over two or three years, during which successive drafts of the program are published for review and comment. All available leasing areas are initially examined, and the selection may then be narrowed based on economic and environmental analysis to arrive at a final leasing schedule. At the end of the process, the Secretary of the Interior must submit each program to the President and to Congress for a period of at least 60 days, after which the proposal may be approved by the Secretary and may take effect with no further regulatory or legislative action. \nBOEM had announced its intent to publish its second draft of the 2019-2024 program\u2014known as the proposed program, or PP\u2014toward the end of 2018. However, following a court decision related to presidential leasing withdrawals on the OCS, the Secretary of the Interior stated that publication would be delayed while the Administration considered its response to the court decision. \nCurrently, offshore leasing is taking place under a program for mid-2017 through mid-2022, developed under the Obama Administration. The Trump Administration\u2019s draft program would replace the final years of the current program. The 2017-2022 program scheduled 11 OCS lease sales during the five-year period: 10 in the Gulf of Mexico region (occurring twice each year), 1 in the Cook Inlet planning area of the Alaska region (scheduled for 2021), and none in the Atlantic or Pacific regions. \nLeasing decisions in BOEM\u2019s five-year programs may affect the economy and environment of individual coastal states and of the nation as a whole. Accordingly, Congress typically has been actively involved in planning and oversight of the five-year programs. This report summarizes recent developments related to the leasing programs and analyzes selected congressional issues and actions. The history, legal and economic framework, and process for developing the programs are discussed in greater detail in CRS Report R44504, The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management\u2019s Five-Year Program for Offshore Oil and Gas Leasing: History and Final Program for 2017-2022.\nThe 116th Congress could influence the five-year program (either the 2017-2022 program currently in force or the new program under development) by enacting legislation with requirements for the program, as well as by conducting oversight. For example, Members could enact legislation to add new sales to the program (e.g., H.R. 1756, S. 665, and S. 883 in the 115th Congress), to remove scheduled sales, or to change the terms of program development under the OCSLA (e.g., H.R. 4239 and H.R. 4426 in the 115th Congress). Congress also could end leasing moratoria imposed by Congress or the President and mandate lease sales in these previously unavailable areas. Alternatively, Congress could impose leasing moratoria on new areas; for example, in the 116th Congress, H.R. 205, H.R. 279, H.R. 286, H.R. 287, H.R. 291, H.R. 309, H.R. 310, H.R. 337, H.R. 341, H.R. 1941, H.R. 2352, H.R. 3585, S. 1296, S. 1304, and S. 1318 would prohibit oil and gas leasing (or extend existing moratoria) in various parts of the OCS. \n**Note: summary is for metadata purposes only and is suppressed in final product.**", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": true, "formats": [ { "format": "HTML", "encoding": "utf-8", "url": "https://www.crs.gov/Reports/R44692", "sha1": "4d3ea2deb6c09358df6af9b6e7580f5822c666c3", "filename": "files/20190806_R44692_4d3ea2deb6c09358df6af9b6e7580f5822c666c3.html", "images": { "/products/Getimages/?directory=R/html/R44692_files&id=/0.png": "files/20190806_R44692_images_7929b8ef6dbf0817cd66e90e704b0c3594403477.png", "/products/Getimages/?directory=R/html/R44692_files&id=/1.png": "files/20190806_R44692_images_4309b0e81a136724fa7b5f480b8cfdc7afc3ca71.png" } }, { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "https://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/R44692", "sha1": "fb8fbdae367d43b9581a3f20bae25602fb6d6b9e", "filename": "files/20190806_R44692_fb8fbdae367d43b9581a3f20bae25602fb6d6b9e.pdf", "images": {} } ], "topics": [ { "source": "IBCList", "id": 4812, "name": "Fossil Energy" }, { "source": "IBCList", "id": 4841, "name": "Federal Land Management" }, { "source": "IBCList", "id": 4907, "name": "Energy Policy" }, { "source": "IBCList", "id": 4908, "name": "Oceans & Fisheries" } ] }, { "source": "EveryCRSReport.com", "id": 577461, "date": "2018-01-08", "retrieved": "2018-05-10T11:46:43.562731", "title": "Five-Year Program for Federal Offshore Oil and Gas Leasing: Status and Issues in Brief", "summary": "Under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, as amended (OCSLA; 43 U.S.C. \u00a71331 ff.), the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) must prepare and maintain forward-looking five-year plans\u2014referred to by BOEM as five-year programs\u2014for proposed public oil and gas lease sales on the U.S. outer continental shelf (OCS).

On January 4, 2018, BOEM released a draft proposed program (DPP) for the period from 2019 through 2024. The DPP proposes 47 lease sales during the five-year period: 12 sales in the Gulf of Mexico region, 19 in the Alaska region, 9 in the Atlantic region, and 7 in the Pacific region. The program would offer more sales than any previous five-year program, making available more than 90% of the total OCS acreage and more than 98% of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources on the OCS.\nBOEM\u2019s development of a five-year program typically takes place over two or three years, during which successive drafts of the program are published for review and comment. All available leasing areas are initially examined, and the selection may then be narrowed based on economic and environmental analysis to arrive at a final leasing schedule. Because the program is developed through a winnowing process, the final program may remove sales proposed in earlier drafts but will not include any new sales. At the end of the process, the Secretary of the Interior must submit each program to the President and to Congress for a period of at least 60 days, after which the proposal may be approved by the Secretary and may take effect with no further regulatory or legislative action. \nCurrently, offshore leasing is taking place under a program for mid-2017 through mid-2022 developed under the Obama Administration. The DPP would replace the final years of the current program. The 2017-2022 program scheduled 11 OCS lease sales during the five-year period: 10 in the Gulf of Mexico region (occurring twice each year), 1 in the Cook Inlet planning area of the Alaska region (scheduled for 2021), and none in the Atlantic or Pacific regions. \nLeasing decisions in BOEM\u2019s five-year programs may affect the economy and environment of individual coastal states and of the nation as a whole.
