Press Release: Agencies Issue Joint Statement on Handling of Highly Sensitive Information During Bank Examinations

PRESS RELEASE | JULY 16, 2026 Agencies Issue Joint Statement on Handling of Highly Sensitive Information During Bank Examinations WASHINGTON — The federal bank regulatory agencies today issued a joint statement describing enhanced security procedures for review of highly sensitive information in connection with examinations of supervised banks, such as reviewing materials on-site rather than transferring them onto agency systems. The statement discusses a coordinated approach to identifying highly sensitive data and documents and discusses enhanced procedures for the review of such information to reduce any cybersecurity risks while ensuring that the agencies have access to such information at all times during an examination. The agencies recognize the importance of keeping a bank’s highly sensitive information confidential and protecting it against disclosure to or from access by unauthorized persons as a result of cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The agencies have committed to notify affected banks of any potential or confirmed material data breach involving confidential supervisory information. They will do so as soon as practicable, and no later than 72 hours after discovery, unless legal restrictions apply. # # # ATTACHMENT: Joint Statement on the Handling of Highly Sensitive Information During Examinations MEDIA CONTACTS: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Brian Sullivan (202) 412-1436 Federal Reserve Board Darren Gersh (202) 452-2955 Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Stephanie Collins (202) 649-6870 The FDIC does not send unsolicited email.

BLM Reopens Rim Campground near Casper

The Bureau of Land Management has reopened Rim Campground in Natrona County effective July 16, 2026. The closure was a precautionary measure to ensure public safety. While wildlife officials were hopeful, the bear was not able to be relocated. Animals fed by humans can lose their natural instincts to hunt or gather food, as well as become aggressive toward people. If you are visiting public lands or planning to use campground facilities, please help keep wildlife wild by keeping campsites clean, storing food in bear-proof lockers, throwing trash into secure bins, and never feeding animals. For any questions, please reach out to the Casper Field Office at (307) 261-7600 or blm_wy_casper_wymail@blm.gov .

BLM’s Second-Quarter 2026 Oil and Gas Lease Sales Generate $4.1 Billion

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Bureau of Land Management generated more than $4.1 billion in total receipts from oil and gas lease sales held in the second quarter of 2026 – in line with the Trump administration’s Energy Dominance initiative. These revenues reflect an ongoing focus on unleashing domestic energy, supporting job growth, and promoting efficient, streamlined permitting and leasing processes. “This quarter’s totals generated more revenue than the entire four-years of the Biden administration and it shows how we can use public lands to their fullest potential," said BLM Director Steve Pearce . "These successful sales demonstrate the BLM’s unwavering commitment to fostering American Energy Dominance while ensuring public lands are supporting national security, economic strength and the livelihood of the American people.” From April through June, the BLM sold 389 parcels totaling 355,456 acres for $4.1 billion in total receipts for its second quarter of calendar year 2026 oil and gas lease sales, with most of the revenue coming from New Mexico . The combined bonus bids and rentals from the leases will be distributed between the federal government and the states where the parcels are located. The BLM held additional oil and gas lease sales in Alaska , Colorado , Nevada , North and South Dakota , Texas, Utah and Wyoming . A record oil and gas lease sale in May generated more than $4 billion in total receipts in New Mexico and Texas, underscoring strong industry demand for domestic energy development on public lands. In that sale, the BLM sold 74 parcels on 33,530 acres. In June, the BLM held an oil and gas lease sale in Alaska’s Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge . This was the second successful sale in the area under President Trump’s leadership and the first since the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The sale brought in an additional $4.5 million from five tracts on 72,049 acres. The BLM’s lease sales have generated $4.7 billion in 2026, with first quarter sales of $592.7 million from January through March. Oil and gas lease sales support domestic energy production and American energy independence while contributing to the nation’s economic and military security. Consistent with Executive Order 14154 , “Unleashing American Energy,” BLM's lease sales help meet the energy needs of U.S. citizens and solidify the nation as a global energy leader long into the future.
