The Public Scoping period for the 2027 First Quarter Competitive Oil & Gas Lease Sale begins on August 11, 2026, and will end at 11:59 pm on September 10, 2026.
A preliminary list, or scoping list, of parcels is posted on ePlanning for a 30-day public scoping period (43 CFR § 3120.42(a)), along with the overview map and a ArcGIS© Pro shapefile. The intent of the scoping period is to receive public comments to assist in identifying resources of concern.
