This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The development of oil and natural gas resources on federal lands contributes to domestic energy production but also results in concerns over potential impacts on those lands. Numerous public protests about oil and gas lease sales have been filed with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), an agency of the Department of the Interior, which manages these federal resources. This report examined: (1) the extent to which BLM maintains and makes publicly available information related to protests; (2) the extent to which parcels were protested and the nature of protests; and (3) the effects of protests on BLM's lease sale decisions and on oil and gas development activities. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

Public lands are available for oil and gas leasing only after they have been evaluated through BLM's multiple-use planning process. In areas where development of oil and gas resources would conflict with the protection or management of other resources or public land uses, mitigating measures are identified and may appear on leases as either stipulations to uses or as restrictions on surface occupancy. This brochure provides general information on oil and gas leasing of onshore public lands.
