Interior has decided to cancel Chukchi
Sea Lease Sale 237, which was
scheduled to occur in 2016 under the
2012–2017 OCS Oil and Gas Leasing
Program. Sale 237 is being canceled due
to lack of industry interest; current
market conditions (e.g., low oil prices);

most attractive tracts, which are already
under lease at this time.
