Extends the collection period for fees on new oil and gas drilling permit applications.
The License to Drill Act amends the Mineral Leasing Act to extend the period during which the Secretary of the Interior must collect a fee for each new application for a permit to drill oil and gas. The bill changes the end date for fee collection from 2026 to 2037. Additionally, it modifies the transfer of fees to the BLM Permit Processing Improvement Fund, specifying that all fees collected from fiscal years 2027 through 2037 should be transferred to this fund.
