U.S. publishes proposed American Samoa mineral-sale notice

BOEM proposes a Nov. 19 offshore sale; the federal process does not guarantee a sale.

BRIEF PREVIEW

FACT — The Federal Register published BOEM’s notice for proposed American Samoa OCS Pacific Mineral Lease Sale 1. BOEM proposes a Nov. 19 sale; comments from the governor are due Sept. 15, and a final notice would be required at least 30 days before any sale. CONTEXT — BOEM says the notice does not guarantee a sale, exploration or collection. Interior says the process began after an April 2025 request from Impossible Metals. This is U.S. seabed-policy context, not a TMC event.
