Ms. Hammerle: The Global Energy Institute (Energy Institute) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s (BOEM’s) Proposed Program for the 2023-2028 National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program (Proposed Program), as well as the Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for the 2023-2028 Program (Draft PEIS).
The mission of the Energy Institute, a division of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (Chamber), is to unify policymakers, regulators, business leaders, and the American public behind a commonsense energy strategy to help keep America secure, prosperous, and clean. The Energy Institute believes that domestically produced oil and natural gas is, and will remain, essential to America’s economy, security, and global competitiveness.
