California Central Coast Conservation Act

This bill prohibits the Bureau of Land Management from administering an oil and gas leasing and development program on the Central Coast of California (e.g., Fresno, Monterey, and San Benito Counties) until it completes and publishes a supplemental environmental impact statement assessing the environmental effects of such leasing and development, including the effects on air quality, seismicity, and greenhouse gas emissions.

The Environmental Protection Agency must review and publish comments regarding the environmental impact statement, including (1) identification of any significant environmental impacts of oil and gas leasing and development on the Central Coast of California that should be avoided to adequately protect the region's natural resources, or (2) a determination that such statement does not contain sufficient information to assess the impacts.
