Just one day after former Vice President Joe Biden was inaugurated, the Ute Native American tribe lashed out in a letter to Biden’s Acting Secretary of the Interior, Scott de la Vega, shredding him for his Secretarial Order No. 3395.
Energy In Depth reports that the order “temporarily suspends delegations of authority regarding leasing and permitting on federal lands, with a significantly reduced staff able to approve such items. This order does not halt leasing or existing development, and at its face is a temporary measure, but is certain to create bottlenecks that last well-beyond the 60-day limit on the order.â€
The Department of the Interior defended Order No. 3395 by stating, “The Order does not impact existing ongoing operations under valid leases and does not preclude the issuance of leases, permits and other authorizations by those specified. In addition, any actions necessary in the event of an incident that might pose a threat to human health, welfare, or safety will continue.â€
Bloomberg reported: “White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday the administration still has a commitment to ending new oil and gas leasing on federal lands, without elaborating on the president’s plans. ‘We do, and the leases will be reviewed by our team,’ Psaki said.â€
