Description

This report was prepared in response to the “Report to Secretary Ken Salazar Regarding the Potential Leasing of 77 Parcels in Utah,” submitted by Deputy Secretary of the Interior David J. Hayes, June 11, 2009. The Hayes Report recommended that a Bureau of Land Mgt. (BLM) team should determine whether: (1) the parcels should be reoffered to the original bidders under the same conditions as previously specified (in which case the winning bidders should have the opportunity to repay their bonus payments and move toward execution of their leases); (2) the parcels should be reoffered for oil and gas development, but under different terms than had been specified in the original offering (in which case the parcels should be subjected to a new auction process); or (3) the parcels should be deferred from leasing.” Finally, the Hayes Report recommended that the BLM initiate a comprehensive air quality analysis for the region and stated, “As the BLM team reviews individual leasing decisions, it should evaluate whether the approval of some of the leases for oil and gas development can go forward without waiting for the completion of the comprehensive air analysis.” Tables.
