NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The federal government is holding public meetings this week in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana as it works on a supplemental environmental impact statement for an oil lease sale tentatively planned for 2017.
The lease sale would cover about 46 million acres in the central Gulf of Mexico, off of those three states.
The Bureau of Offshore Energy Management says the first meeting is Tuesday at the Hilton Garden Inn Mobile West in Mobile, Alabama.
