Dem Urges WH To Reject Proposal To Delay Oil And Gas Lease Payments

"Natural Resources Committee Chairman Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) is urging the White House not to approve a proposal that would delay payments for companies that drill on public lands.

Last week, a possible final rule from the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) titled “ONRR Reporting and Royalty Payment Delay Related to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19),” was sent to the White House for review.

In his letter, Grijalva stated that the administration has “refused” to give staffers information about the rule."
