Resume quarterly onshore sales, max OCS sales, new five-year plan, IRA rent caps
Mandate demands quarterly onshore lease sales, maximum offshore sales under the 2023–2028 program, a new five-year plan (and OCSLA reform for rolling sales), RMP reversals of 30x30, and rents/royalties no higher than IRA requires.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 16 (Interior) — Actions: reinstate quarterly onshore lease sales (IM 2018–034 model); conduct offshore sales to maximum extent under 2023–2028 program; finalize new five-year plan; work with Congress to eliminate five-year plans for rolling/quarterly sales; review RMPs to restore FLPMA multi-use and eliminate 30 by 30 decisions; set rents/royalties/bonding no higher than IRA.
Undo plan
1) Restore balanced five-year OCS planning with climate and coastal-state input—not maximum extraction mandates.
2) Keep IRA royalty/rent/bonding floors that ensure fair return to taxpayers.
3) Maintain conservation designations in RMPs consistent with FLPMA multiple use including preservation.
4) Require full NEPA and tribal consultation before parceling.
5) Verify: acres offered vs. environmentally sensitive acreage deferred; royalty receipts; methane controls.
