An environmental law group sued the Biden administration Monday over its report on reforms to the federal oil and gas leasing program, accusing the White House Council of Environmental Quality of"political interference" in the Interior Department's recommendations.
FOE's complaint said further the group suspects that the end report"may have been modified significantly in response to political pressure from the White House and CEQ, acting at the behest of oil-and-gas industry interests and oil-producing states." The Interior Department released its report on the leasing program on Black Friday last year. It made several recommendations to the Bureau of Land Management and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which manage the federal lands and waters eligible for oil and gas leasing, including a recommendation to increase the royalty rates companies must pay on leased lands.
