ACTION: Cancellation of Chukchi Sea Lease Sale 237. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [[Page 74797]] SUMMARY: The Department of the Interior has decided to cancel Chukchi Sea Lease Sale 237, which was scheduled to occur in 2016 under the 2012-2017 OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program. Sale 237 is being canceled due to lack of industry interest; current market conditions (e.g., low oil prices); and the unavailability of many of the most attractive tracts, which are already under lease at this time.
