The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R. 1) from the 115th Congress (2017-2018) permitted 2 lease sales of about 400,000 acres of oil and gas development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for the first time since the Interior Department established the ANWR. The Arctic Cultural and Coastal Plain Protection Act would repeal this provision.
