BLM hosts O&G document preparation

The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service are hosting an interactive satellite broadcast for those parties involved in preparing documents related to oil and gas development on federal public lands.

The broadcast will be from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Sept. 13 at BLM’s offices on the fourth floor of the Anchorage Federal Building.

BLM said the live satellite broadcast is to inform interested parties about recent revisions to a set of regulations collectively known as Onshore Oil and Gas Order No. 1.

While the broadcast will be most useful for those preparing documentation such as applications for permits to drill, BLM said members of the public are invited to attend.

Information on new APD processing timelines, off-lease access, and geospatial databases — as well as information on how BLM and Forest Service rights of way work — will also be covered during the broadcast, which BLM said will include an interactive question-and-answer session.
