Cancellation of Oil and Gas Lease Sale 237 in the Chukchi Sea
Planning Area on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Interior.
ACTION: Cancellation of Chukchi Sea Lease Sale 237.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of the Interior has decided to cancel Chukchi
Sea Lease Sale 237, which was scheduled to occur in 2016 under the
2012-2017 OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program. Sale 237 is being canceled
due to lack of industry interest; current market conditions (e.g., low
oil prices); and the unavailability of many of the most attractive
tracts, which are already under lease at this time.

Division, at (703) 787-1776 or [email protected].
