This bill would nullify two Presidential memoranda issued January 6, 2025 that withdrew parts of the Outer Continental Shelf from oil and gas leasing.

Would cancel memos blocking offshore leasing
This bill would cancel two Presidential memoranda from January 6, 2025. Those memos withdrew parts of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf from oil and gas leasing. If enacted, Interior could consider leasing again in the Gulf, Atlantic, Pacific, and the Northern Bering Sea Climate Resilience Area. The bill would not itself approve any new leases or spend money. Energy companies and investors could see more opportunities. Coastal homeowners and communities could see more jobs but also higher environmental risk.
