Judge Terry Doughty of the US District Court for the Western District of Louisiana ruled Thursday that the Biden administration's pause on oil and natural gas leasing on federal lands in 13 states violates the Mineral Leasing Act and Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and issued a permanent injunction, just one day after an appeals court lifted a preliminary nationwide injunction Doughty granted in 2021. "This decision is a significant step toward ending the ongoing uncertainty over the future of energy development on federal lands and waters, and we urge the Biden administration to take immediate action to hold onshore lease sales and issue a final five-year program for federal offshore leasing that includes all of the proposed lease sales," said American Petroleum Institute Senior Vice President of Policy, Economics and Regulatory Affairs Frank Macchiarola.
