Summary

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has extended the post-sale evaluation period for Central Gulf of Mexico Planning Area Lease Sale 227 through July 18, 2013, due to resource limitations caused by sequestration, which has hindered the agency's ability to process overtime to expedite bid review and incorporate increased volumes of proprietary datasets used by bidders.
