Title: BLM should impose more stringent management on existing leases
Text: Criteria for lifting of lease deferment in suitable and occupied habitat in the PPA: "11. The above guidelines pertain only to new leasing. The right of industry to develop existing leases is recognized and affirmed. It is understood that Negotiated Plans of Development (PODs) and Conditions of Approval may be employed to guide orderly development on any new federal leases in potential, suitable, or occupied habitat, and on existing federal leases in such habitat. BLM should also explore options for imposing more stringent management on existing leases, in cases of need. (See Conservation Strategy 2.2, "Minimizing impacts of new and ongoing development" for further recommendations regarding existing leases and ongoing development.)"
