IBLA DISMISSES PROTEST TO FEDERAL OIL AND GAS LEASE SALE

摘要

Wyoming Outdoor Council (WOC) appealed the July 17, 2000, decision of the Wyoming State Office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) dismissing its protest to the offering of 132 parcels located in various Wyoming counties at a competitive oil and gas lease sale on June 6, 2000. The Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) dismissed WOC's appeal as to all but five parcels based on lack of standing and an additional three parcels were dismissed voluntarily. In Wyoming Outdoor Council, 160 IBLA 387, GFS(O&G) 2(2004), the IBLA affirmed the BLM decision and dismissed the WOC protest of the remaining two parcels (Subject Parcels) from the June 6, 2000, competitive oil and gas lease sale.
