Under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, Interior may not issue a right-of-way for such development unless (1) an onshore oil and gas lease sale has been held in the 120 days prior to issuing the right-of-way, and (2) Interior offers a specified minimum acreage for oil and gas lease sales in the previous year. The bill repeals those requirements.&nbsp;</p><!--tinycomments|2.1|data:application/json;base64,eyJtY2UtY29udmVyc2F0aW9uXzM0MjY2Njc5NTIxNzIyMDEyOTg4Mzg3Ijp7InVpZCI6Im1jZS1jb252ZXJzYXRpb25fMzQyNjY2Nzk1MjE3MjIwMTI5ODgzODciLCJjb21tZW50cyI6W3sidWlkIjoibWNlLWNvbnZlcnNhdGlvbl8zNDI2NjY3OTUyMTcyMjAxMjk4ODM4NyIsImF1dGhvciI6ImNpc2VuYmVyZ0BsaWIubG9jLmdvdiIsImF1dGhvck5hbWUiOiJjaXNlbmJlcmdAbGliLmxvYy5nb3YiLCJjb250ZW50IjoiQ1JTIHJlcG9ydCBtb3N0bHkgdXNlIHRoZSBcIm9mIDIwMjJcIiB3aGVuIHJlZmVycmluZyB0byB0aGlzIGFjdC4gIiwiY3JlYXRlZEF0IjoiMjAyNC0wNy0yNlQxNjo1NjoyOC4zODdaIiwibW9kaWZpZWRBdCI6IjIwMjQtMDctMjZUMTY6NTY6MjguMzg3WiJ9XX19-->
