BOEM Updates Oil and Gas Lease Sales for Central and Western Gulf of Mexico Planning Areas

Summary

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has revised the description of areas not available for leasing in the Outer Continental Shelf, following a correction to the original call for information and nominations published in 2011. The changes aim to clarify the areas excluded by the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006, which went into effect on December 20, 2006.
