Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any oil and gas lease sale held under section 17 of the Mineral Leasing Act ( 26 U.S.C. 226 ) or the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act ( 43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq. ) shall not be vacated and activities on leases awarded in the sale shall not be otherwise limited, delayed, or enjoined unless the court concludes allowing development of the challenged lease will pose a risk of an imminent and substantial environmental harm and there is no other equitable remedy available as a matter of law.
No court, in response to an action brought pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. et seq.), may enjoin or issue any order preventing the award of leases to a bidder in a lease sale conducted pursuant to section 17 of the Mineral Leasing Act ( 26 U.S.C. 226 ) or the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act ( 43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq. ) if the Department of the Interior has previously opened bids for such leases or disclosed the high bidder for any tract that was included in such lease sale.
