Court Approves Oil Leasing Sale in Atlantic Ocean
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court overturned a delay on the Interior Department oil and gas lease sale in the Baltimore Canyon Trough. Bids will be sealed for 876,750 acres 60 miles south of New York and 45 to 90 miles off several East Coast states, with potential value up to $31 billion. The court set hearings for the week of Sept. 27 on environmental issues, noting national energy interests would be harmed if the sale were aborted.
