The U.S. Interior Department said it will cut bond requirements for oil and gas firms drilling on federal lands by 95%, lowering required bonds for onshore federal leases from $500,000 under the Biden administration to $25,000 to encourage more energy exploration.

Interior also said it will remove certain provisions from waste‑minimization rules that apply to drilling permit applications and will clarify related definitions.
