HR 8214 United States House · 118th Congress

Alaskan Energy Production and Fisheries Protection Act

This bill requires the Secretary of the Interior to reissue six previously canceled oil and gas leases (tracts 16, 17, 24, 26, 27, and 30) in Alaska’s Coastal Plain within 30 days of enactment, using the terms and conditions from the 2020 Record of Decision. It directs federal agencies to reinstate all related permits, approvals, and environmental clearances for the leasing program and withdraws a proposed rule (88 Fed. Reg. 62025) that had paused leasing activities. The bill also nullifies Executive Order 13990 and Secretarial Order 3401 that had halted leasing, and blocks courts from reviewing agency actions related to the program. Note: The bill’s title mentions "Fisheries Protection," but the text contains no provisions addressing fisheries.
