HR 1043 United States House · 118th Congress

To restore onshore energy production.

HR 1043 requires the U.S. Department of the Interior to immediately resume quarterly onshore oil and gas lease sales in specific states, including Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado, and others. It mandates offering all eligible lands nominated under existing land use plans for leasing, with replacement sales if original sales are canceled or receive insufficient bids. The bill directly affects federal land management practices and oil/gas companies seeking leases on public lands. It specifies that lease sales must occur quarterly in designated states and requires reports to Congress if sales are missed. The legislation focuses on restoring routine leasing processes under existing laws, without altering environmental review requirements.
