BLM Participants in Preparation or Review of the EA................................................................ 64 ii DOI-BLM-CO-N040-2018-0075-EA CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND It is the policy of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as derived from various laws, including the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (MLA) and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), to make mineral resources available for disposal and to encourage development of mineral resources to meet national, regional, and local needs. The BLM Colorado State Office conducts quarterly competitive sales to lease available oil and gas parcels. A Notice of Competitive lease sale (Sale Notice), which lists lease parcels to be offered at the auction, is published by the Colorado State Office at least 45 days before the auction is held. Lease stipulations applicable to each parcel are specified in the Sale Notice. The decision as to which public lands and minerals are open for leasing and what leasing stipulations may be necessary, based on information available at the time, is made during the land use planning process. Constraints on leasing and any future development of split-estate parcels (private surface overlying Federal minerals) are determined by the BLM in consultation with the surface management agency or private landowner. In the process of preparing a lease sale, the Colorado State Office sends a draft parcel list to each field office where the parcels are located. Field office staff then review the legal descriptions of the parcels to determine if they are in areas open to leasing and that appropriate stipulations have been included; verify whether any new information has become available that might change any analysis conducted during the planning process; confirm that appropriate consultations have been conducted; and identify any special resource conditions of which potential bidders should be made aware. The parcels are posted online
