Only bidders that are deemed qualified by BOEM can participate in a potential competitive lease sale. Bidders interested in participating in potential future Outer Continental Shelf competitive mineral lease sales should submit the required qualification documentation [30 CFR 581.20] to BOEM as early as possible to ensure there is sufficient time to process the documentation. Proposed Leasing Notices for any potentially scheduled sales will provide a deadline by which a bidder must be qualified to participate in the lease sale.
