Federal Lands Jobs and Energy Security Act
The Federal Lands Jobs and Energy Security Act () is a bill that would require the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to establish certain fees for activities related to the development of oil and gas on federal lands.〔 A portion of those amounts along with a portion of fees from renewable energy projects on federal lands would be available to the agency, subject to appropriation, to cover the costs of activities aimed at increasing energy development on federal lands. The bill also would exempt lawsuits related to energy production on federal lands from the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA). In addition, the legislation would require the BLM to offer for sale at least 25 percent of onshore federal lands nominated by firms for oil and gas leasing.〔 It was introduced in the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress. President Barack Obama threatened to veto the bill on November 19, 2013.〔
==Provisions of the bill==
The goal of the bill is to make "it easier for oil and gas companies to obtain drilling permits on federal lands." If this bill were to take effect, the United States Department of the Interior would then be forced to reject or approve onshore drilling permits within 60 days of the permit applications being submitted. If the Department fails to issue a ruling in that time window, the permit is automatically approved.〔
The bill would also make it more difficult for people to fight against drilling.〔 The bill would create a "$5,000 dollar fee to lodge a formal protest of leases or drilling permits awarded to oil and gas producers."〔〔
The bill would also establish a minimum amount of federal land that must be offered for oil-and-gas leases.
