H.R. 10721

Requires bonding to clean up oil and gas sites

Changes the Mineral Leasing Act so oil and gas drilling on federal and tribal land must have enough bonding, and land and water must be fully and promptly restored afterward.

  • Sets bonding rules for oil and gas production on federal land
  • Applies the same rules to production on tribal land
  • Aims for land and water to be fully restored, not just partly
  • Calls for that restoration to be finished on time
