Murkowski said Alaska should focus on Cook Inlet, where sales had been mandated through the budget reconciliation bill, and that offshore Arctic and Bering Strait areas should not be in the final five-year plan.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This shows Murkowski took a concrete position on which Alaska offshore basins should be prioritized and points to legislative action on Cook Inlet, but it also treats the program as a draft still needing final decisions.

BOEM’s current 11th National OCS Program status lists the RFI and Draft Proposed Program as completed, but the 2nd Analysis, 3rd Analysis, and approval are not completed. The draft proposal includes 34 potential lease sales, including 21 in Alaska.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of the current BOEM program page, the new offshore leasing program has not been approved, so Murkowski’s commitment to ensure the final program focuses on the right basins remains unresolved despite partial progress and advocacy.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

The new 11th National OCS offshore leasing program has not been approved; BOEM still lists later analysis steps and final approval as pending. Murkowski has materially advocated for the basin mix she wants, including focusing Alaska activity on Cook Inlet and opposing inclusion of offshore Arctic and Bering Strait areas in the final five-year plan, and the Cook Inlet sales were tied to budget reconciliation. But because the final program is still unresolved, the promised outcome has not yet been delivered.
