The bureau of ocean energy management (BOEM) will publish its updated final notice of sale (FNOS) for Gulf of Mexico Oil and gas lease sale 261 in the Federal Register.

Pursuant to direction from the court, lease sale 261 will offer approximately 13 618 blocks on 72.7 million acres on the U.S. outer continental shelf in the Western, Central, and Eastern planning areas in the Gulf of Mexico. The Court directed BOEM to include lease blocks that were previously excluded due to potential impacts to the Rice’s whale population from oil and gas activities in the Gulf of Mexico, and to remove portions of a related stipulation meant to address those potential impacts from the lease terms for any leases that may result from lease sale 261.
