comments-on-proposed-offshore-leasing-program-for-2017-2022

The Institute for Policy Integrity recommends that the agency expand its use of 'option value'—the value of delaying leasing to resolve uncertainties—and incorporate downstream greenhouse gas emissions into its decision-making process for the 2017-2022 offshore leasing program.

• The Institute for Policy Integrity advocates for the increased application of 'option value' in agency decisions, which refers to the informational benefit of postponing leasing until environmental, social, and technological uncertainties are better understood.
• The organization recommends that future leasing decisions incorporate the consideration of downstream greenhouse gas emissions.
• The proposed program has begun to qualitatively assess option value and include environmental and social costs within its 'hurdle price' analysis used to determine lease offerings.
