Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on the BLM’s Proposed Rule for Oil and Gas Leasing (43 CFR Parts 3000–3180).

This quick check isn’t a recall test—it gauges how well you grasp the rule’s intent, trade-offs, and operational impacts before you invest time in the full course.

• See where your understanding stands on why the changes matter (streamlining vs. stewardship, compliance vs. flexibility)
• Spot who is most affected (small operators, finance/royalty teams, land administrators, the public) and how
• Anticipate workflow shifts: electronic payments, bonding reviews, protest practices, noncompetitive leasing
• Clarify your role in public participation and how input can shape the final rule

After the benchmark, you’ll know whether the course can help you: connect statutory drivers to operational decisions, prepare teams for new processes, and engage effectively during the rulemaking phase.
