Supreme Court rules federal government owns offshore Atlantic oil rights
The Supreme Court unanimously held that the federal government owns offshore oil rights in the Atlantic, rejecting coastal states claims from colonial charters. The ruling came as Maine prepared to sell 3 million acres off its coast, challenging a 1953 law that limits state seabed ownership to three miles. The decision cites earlier cases limiting state claims and confirms dominion over sea rights by the national government. Separately, FEA officials announce investigations into possible price manipulation by major utilities amid the Arab oil embargo, with grand juries in multiple cities examining suspected overcharges and falsified import records.
