The Department of the Interior must immediately resume quarterly lease sales as specified by the bill. Each fiscal year, Interior must conduct a minimum of four oil and gas lease sales in each state with land available for oil and gas leasing under mineral leasing law. If a lease sale is canceled, delayed, or deferred, then Interior must conduct a replacement sale. Interior must also conduct a replacement sale if during the original lease sale, no more than 25% of the area offered for leasing receives a bid.
