This week the BLM placed an announcement on their website stating that starting in April 2014 the agency will be holding rotational lease sales, meaning that instead of holding sales for the entire state four times per year, the agency is going to rotate the sales. Thus in April, the leases will only pertain to Oklahoma. In July 2014 SENM properties will be leased. The next lease sale for SENM will be July 2015. The rationale for limiting the number of parcels offered at a lease sale is based on personnel issues. The limitation of leases, particularly SENM, is very disappointing. We are seeking a meeting with State Director Juen to discuss the issue.
