OF THE UNITED STATES

Actions Needed To Increase

Federal Onshore Oil And Gas

Exploration And Development

The Nation's need for more oil and gas devel-
opment from Federal lands will not be met
unless Federal agencies act to
--make more lands, nowclosed to leasing,
available for oil and gas development,

--reduce the number and severity of lease
restrictions which hamper or prevent
exploration and development, and

--expedite the processing of Federal
leases and drilling permits.

GAO makes congressional and agency rec-
ommendations to open more Federal lands
to mineral leasing, formulate a minerals pol-
icy for military lands, justify the use of sur-
face protection stipulations, and improve the
overall Federal oil and gas leasing and drilling
permit programs.
