CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Due to an administrative error, BLM Wyoming is changing the sale date for the 2nd quarter oil and gas lease sale from June 20-21, 2018 to June 26-27, 2018. This change was necessary because the sale notice posted on Monday, May 7, 2018 instead of Friday, May 4, 2018.

The sale date and protest periods were adjusted to ensure BLM complies with applicable laws and regulations.

BLM Wyoming has issued two information notices addressing these changes and posted them to the oil and gas lease sale ePlanning page at https://go.usa.gov/xQxMN.
