Bidder Disclosure

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Several tracts available for bid in the
sale are the subject of ongoing litigation
in the U.S. District Court for the District
of Alaska. Tract 29 covers the StainesCanning River area along the
northwestern boundary of the Arctic
Refuge, which the State of Alaska claims
an entitlement to under the Alaska
Statehood Act in State of Alaska v. U.S.
Department of the Interior, et al. (Case
No. 3:22–cv–00078–SLG). Tracts 16, 17,
24, 26, 27, 30 and 31 were leased to the
Alaska Industrial Development and
Export Authority (AIDEA) in January
2021, but those leases were
subsequently cancelled by the U.S.
Department of the Interior in September
2023 due to pre-leasing legal defects.
AIDEA challenges those cancellations
and seeks reinstatement of the leases in
Alaska Industrial Development and
Export Authority v. United States
Department of the Interior (Case No.
3:24–cv–00051–SLG). In the event that
one or more of these cases results in a
decision adverse to the Department and
a remedy that changes the status quo, a
court or the Department may ultimately
determine the validity of any lease
issued in this sale to the extent it is for
a disputed tract.
The 2025 Coastal Plain Oil and Gas
Lease Sale will include 12 tracts
(approximately 400,000 acres) that are
available for leasing under the Coastal
Plain Environmental Impact Statement
Record of Decision issued in December
2024.
The opening and reading of the bids
for the 2025 lease sale will be available
for online public viewing via video
livestreaming at https://www.blm.gov/
live.
The Detailed Statement of Sale
includes a description of the areas the
BLM is offering for lease, as well as the
lease terms, conditions, special
stipulations, required operating
procedures, and directions for how to
submit bids. If you plan to submit a
bid(s), please note that all bids must be
sealed in accordance with the
provisions identified in the Detailed
Statement of Sale.
The United States reserves the right to
withdraw any tract from this sale prior
to issuance of a written acceptance of a
bid.
