The promise was to call on Interior and BLM to reconsider rescinding the 2024 Onshore Leasing Rule and to preserve the listed protections. Wyden materially fulfilled that action in his current Senate term by joining an official letter opposing the proposed rescission and specifically addressing bonding requirements, public participation, Tribal consultation, landowner involvement, and leasing preference criteria. Because the commitment was framed as making the call rather than guaranteeing BLM's final decision, the documented letter is sufficient for delivery.
