The Federal Register proposed rule, RIN 1004-AF05, says BLM proposed revising oil and gas leasing regulations, returning minimum bond amounts to pre-2024-rule levels, and taking comments until August 24, 2026.
Assessments
The promised action was to call on BLM to maintain and continue implementing the 2024 Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process rule. Heinrich, while serving in the same federal Senate term, joined an official congressional letter opposing BLM's proposed rescission and urging BLM to maintain and continue implementing the regulations. That directly satisfies the promised advocacy action, regardless of whether BLM ultimately rescinds or preserves the rule.
