In addition to its surface land management, the BLM also oversees 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estates throughout the country. The proposed updates concern these areas and are part of the BLM’s mission to ensure the responsible use and enjoyment of these lands.
The call for public input is part of the BLM’s commitment to transparency and public participation in its decision-making process. The public’s views and comments will play a crucial role in shaping the final decisions regarding the proposed updates to oil and gas management in south-central California. The BLM has not provided specific details on the proposed updates in their announcement.
