The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) inadvertently used the incorrect EA number in the original Decision Record. The EA number in the Decision Record has been corrected; no other changes have been made. The corrected version of the Decision Record was added at 2:10 pm on July 18, 2023 and is noted with "_Corrected" in the file name. 

The Competitive Oil & Gas Lease Sale is scheduled to begin on June 28, 2023 at 8:00 am MST.

BLM Wyoming released a draft EA, FONSI, and maps for a 30 day public protest period on March 31, 2023. A corrected version of the Wyoming Parcel Specific maps was added at 3:45 pm on April 6, 2023. The new versions of the maps are noted with "_Corrected" in the file name.  These updates do not change the analysis in the EA or impact the 30-day protest period. The protest period will close on May 1, 2023.

The EA number for the Draft Lease Sale EA posted for the public protest period is listed as DOI-BLM-WY-0000-2023-0003-EA.  This is incorrect and will be updated after the protest period to DOI-BLM-WY-0000-2023-0001-EA.  These updates do not change the analysis in the EA or impact the 30-day protest period. The protest period will close on May 1, 2023.
