43 C.F.R. § 3205.10 How does BLM lease lands competitively?
Title 43 - Public Lands: Interior
(a) We lease some Federal lands through competitive sales using sealed bids. Those lands which we lease competitively include lands from terminated, expired, or relinquished leases, and lands within a KGRA (see 43 CFR 3203.11). BLM may also use a competitive lease sale if there is public interest. (b) BLM lists these parcels, with any stipulations, in a sale notice. This sale notice will tell you where and when to submit your bids. We will post the sale notice in appropriate BLM offices, and may take other measures such as: (1) Publishing news releases; (2) Notifying interested parties of the lease sale; (3) Publishing the notice in newspapers; or (4) Posting the list on the Internet.
