    Alaska Lease Sales
    Gulf of Mexico Lease Sales

     

    1 As in the PP, the sales are not in numerical order for various reasons.  As the 2009 DPP encompassed the 2010-2015 time period, many of the sales listed in that document were carryovers from the latter part of the Five Year Program for 2007-2012 announced in June 2007.  These sales were either held, deleted in the December 2010 Revised Program for 2007-2012, or cancelled under the pre-sale process.  Those numbers are no longer available for use in this program.  Other sales included in the 2009 DPP are no longer being considered for leasing in this PFP and those sale numbers also are not available. 

    2 Sales in the Eastern GOM would only include those areas that are not currently subject to moratorium under GOMESA.

    3 Sales cancelled in 2015, see press release.
