土地管理局最终确定了对联邦公共土地上石油和天然气租赁的规定和更新,提高了租赁最低保证金,提高了特许权使用费税率,并要求公司承担清理费用。 The Bureau of Land Management finalized its rule and update to oil and gas leasing on federal public lands, raising minimum bonds for leases, increasing royalty tax rates, and requiring companies to cover cleanup costs. 新规定旨在减少浪费性的投机,并保护纳税人免受环境清理成本的负担。 The new rule aims to reduce wasteful speculation and protect taxpayers from environmental cleanup costs. 然而,新的担保水平不太可能涵盖超过 90,000 个未封堵油井的清理成本。 However, the new bonding levels are unlikely to cover the cleanup cost of over 90,000 unplugged wells.
