Implementing an America-First Offshore Energy Strategy

This executive order directs federal agencies to expand offshore oil and gas leasing in multiple ocean regions, streamline permitting for seismic surveys, review and potentially weaken recent offshore drilling safety and environmental regulations, and modify previous presidential withdrawals of Outer Continental Shelf areas from leasing. It also requires accounting for energy resource potential before designating new marine sanctuaries and reviews recent marine monument designations.
