What's New

The May 2020 Lease Sale will now be held on August 27, 2020.

Public Protest Period (3/23/2020 thru 4/01/2020)

The health and safety of the public and our employees is our highest priority, and we continue to follow guidance put forth by the White House, the CDC, and state and local authorities, as we implement teleworking, social distancing and virtual meeting tools. All of our actions, including comment periods and lease sales, are being evaluated on a case-by-case basis and adjustments are being made to ensure we are allowing for proper public input, while protecting the health and safety of the public and our employees. As a result, the BLM is temporarily restricting in-person public access to visitor centers and public rooms in our New Mexico offices. Therefore, we will only accept comments via mail and email for the May 2020 lease sale. Persons wishing to send a protest electronically can do so by sending an email to [email protected] - See Amendment No. 2 on the "Documents" tab of the BLM New Mexico NEPA Project Homepage.

The Lease Sale Notice, draft EAs, and GIS data for the public protest period can be obtained online at the BLM New Mexico NEPA project homepage.
