Bill overview
This bill, the Federal Lands and Waters Leasing Transparency Act, aims to increase transparency in the process of leasing federal lands and waters for oil and gas development. Specifically, it requires the Department of the Interior to provide detailed explanations to bidders when their bids for offshore leases are rejected, outlining the reasons for the decision. The bill also clarifies deadlines for issuing onshore oil and gas leases and limits legal challenges to these sales, ensuring continued processing of related applications and approvals.
