OABA Signs Letter Urging Finalization of Oil and Gas Leasing Program

The Ohio AgriBusiness Association, with more than 100 agricultural organizations, signed a letter urging President Obama to finalize the 2017-2022 Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Gas Leasing Program without removing any additional areas. The letter also urged the administration not to take any actions that would remove areas from consideration under future offshore leasing programs.

The program provides access to the country’s federal lands and waters that contain the nation’s remaining oil and natural gas. For more details about the program and the request from the agricultural organizations, read the letter here.
