Congress finds that— Congress provided clear authorization and direction that the Secretary of the Interior shall establish and administer a competitive oil and gas program for the leasing, development, production, and transportation of oil and gas in and from the Coastal Plain in section 20001 of Public Law 115–97 ( 16 U.S.C. 3143 note) (commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act); the timely administration of the Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program is required and in the national and public interest; the Department of the Interior’s cancelling of the leases for the covered Coastal Plain lease tracts represents a major decision of economic and political significance that Congress did not delegate to the Secretary; the Naval Petroleum Reserves Production Act of 1976 ( 42 U.S.C. 6501 et seq. ) requires that the Bureau of Land Management— allow for the exploration, development, and production of petroleum products in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska; and equally balance, to the extent consistent with that Act, the protection of ecological and cultural values in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska; and the proposed rule of the Bureau of Land Management entitled Management and Protection of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (88 Fed. Reg. 62025 (September 8, 2023)) fails to reflect the intent of Congress for the Naval Petroleum Reserves Production Act of 1976 ( 42 U.S.C. 6501 et seq. ).
