The bill mandates the Secretary of the Interior to resume onshore oil and gas lease sales immediately and establishes annual requirements for lease sales.

  • 30 U.S.C. 226(p)

    The Secretary may not delay processing an application for a permit to drill under a valid existing lease on the basis that there is a pending civil action, unless and until a court determines the lease was not issued in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

    This change prevents delays in processing drilling permit applications due to ongoing civil actions.
