   Onshore Oil And Gas Leasing--

   Who Wins The Lottery?





   Presently, most of the 114,000 onshore oil
   and gas leases for over 93 million acres of
   Federal land are awarded under a lottery
   system. The Chairman, House Committee on
   Interior and Insular Affairs, requested that
   GAO  review alleged irregularities in this
   leasing, administered by the Department of
   the Interior.

   GAO's review of drawings in New Mexico
   and Wyoming detected no indication of
   manipulation, but showed    weaknesses in
   controls which allow the possibility for it.
   Basic changes, including possible alternatives
   to the system, are under study by the In-
   terior.
