The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR or the Refuge) comprises 19 million acres in northeast Alaska, administered primarily by the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in the Department of the Interior. ANWR’s Coastal Plain—a 1.57-million-acre area in the northern part of the Refuge (Figure 1)—is viewed as an onshore oil prospect, with a mean estimate by the U.S. Geological Survey of 7.7 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil on federal lands (or 10.4 billion barrels if Alaska Native lands and adjacent waters are included). The Refuge also is a center of activity for caribou and other wildlife, with subsistence use by Alaska Natives and critical habitat for polar bears under the Endangered Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. §§1531-1544).

P.L. 115-97 established a program for oil and gas leasing in ANWR’s Coastal Plain. The law’s 2017 enactment marked a turning point in decades of congressional debate over energy development in the Refuge. Prior to enactment of the law, Section 1003 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (ANILCA; P.L. 96-487) had prohibited oil and gas development in ANWR unless such activities were explicitly authorized by an act of Congress. Section 20001 of P.L. 115-97 directed the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), to establish and administer a competitive oil and gas leasing program for ANWR’s Coastal Plain and added this program as a stated purpose of the Refuge. The law requires at least two lease sales in the Coastal Plain, one within four years of the law’s enactment (i.e., by December 2021) and a second within seven years of enactment (December 2024). Each lease sale must offer at least 400,000 acres and must include those areas with the highest potential for discovery of hydrocarbons. The law also has provisions concerning management of the oil and gas program, minimum royalty rates for ANWR leases, disposition of revenues from the program, rights-of-way, and surface development. (For more information, see CRS In Focus IF10782, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) Provisions in P.L. 115-97, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.)

During BLM’s implementation of the ANWR oil and gas program, Congress has continued to debate leasing in the Refuge. Some Members support the program established in P.L. 115-97, and others seek to repeal it.

January 2021 Lease Sale
On January 6, 2021, under the Trump Administration, BLM held the first oil and gas lease sale for the ANWR Coastal Plain, offering 22 tracts on 1.1 million acres. The sale yielded a total of $14.4 million in high bids on 11 tracts. BLM subsequently issued leases for nine of the tracts, covering 437,804 total acres. Most leases went to the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA), a state-established public corporation. Two private companies that won leases later relinquished them.

Temporary Moratorium and Environmental Review
On January 20, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 13990. Among other provisions, the order directed the Secretary of the Interior to “place a temporary moratorium on all activities of the Federal Government relating to the implementation of the Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program” and to conduct a “new, comprehensive analysis” of the potential environmental impacts of the program in a manner consistent with applicable law. Pursuant to the executive order, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland issued Secretarial Order 3401 on June 1, 2021, with similar requirements.

In accordance with these directives, in June 2021, BLM issued suspensions of operations and production on the awarded leases, temporarily prohibiting exploration and development of the leased tracts. AIDEA, the state corporation that holds ANWR leases, filed a pending lawsuit contesting the legality of the suspensions and of the temporary moratorium. To support “future exploration planning,” AIDEA also initiated work on proposals for archeological surveying and 3D seismic surveying of its lease sites, but BLM informed AIDEA that it could not process permit applications until a supplemental environmental impact statement (EIS) had been completed for the program.

On August 4, 2021, BLM published in the Federal Register a notice of intent (NOI) to prepare a supplemental EIS for the ANWR oil and gas program. In the NOI, BLM stated that it anticipated releasing a draft supplemental EIS in six to eight months (April-June 2022). More recently, in court documents, the Administration reported that the draft supplemental EIS is expected in the third quarter of 2023. BLM has stated that additional work is needed to address issues related to the analysis of downstream greenhouse gas emissions that would stem from production of Coastal Plain oil, among other issues.

Alaska Native Lands in the Coastal Plain
Some lands within the outer boundary of the Coastal Plain are owned by Alaska Native corporations. (For more information, see CRS Report RL33872, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR): An Overview.
A 1983 agreement, known as the Chandler Lake Agreement, provided that energy development would not take place on these Alaska Native lands until Congress approved development of the Coastal Plain. P.L. 115-97 thus opened the possibility of oil and gas development on both the federal lands and the Alaska Native lands of the Coastal Plain. Alaska Native corporations applied for permits to conduct seismic exploration on their Coastal Plain lands, but BLM and FWS did not approve all the necessary permits. The Alaska Native corporations are co-plaintiffs in the AIDEA lawsuit mentioned in the previous section.

Issues for Congress
The conflict between oil and natural gas potential and valued natural habitat in the Refuge has long created dilemmas for Congress when considering activities on the ANWR Coastal Plain. Broader questions about U.S. energy and climate also have shaped the debate. Supporters of oil and gas leasing assert that development of the Coastal Plain would increase American energy security and substitute U.S.-produced energy for imports developed with fewer environmental safeguards than apply to the Refuge. Supporters also point to potential economic benefits for the Refuge’s Alaska Native communities and for the state of Alaska generally. Opponents contend that ANWR leasing would irremediably damage wildlife habitat and Alaska Native subsistence uses and, more broadly, that it represents a long-term investment in fossil fuels that would slow efforts to address climate change.

In the 118th Congress, H.R. 724 and S. 282 would repeal the ANWR leasing program and designate the Coastal Plain as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System under the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. §§1131 et seq.). Similar legislation was introduced in previous Congresses. In the 117th Congress, the House-passed version of budget reconciliation legislation (H.R. 5376) would have repealed the ANWR leasing program, canceled the awarded leases, and returned all related payments to the lessees. Other bills (H.R. 815 and S. 282) also would have repealed the program. Still other legislation (H.R. 1726) would have promoted oil and gas activity in the Coastal Plain by requiring congressional approval for a presidential leasing moratorium in the Refuge to take effect. None of these 117th Congress bills was enacted.

To the extent that Congress may consider a repeal of the program, there may be issues involving the contractual obligations already made to Coastal Plain lessees. A return of the lessees’ payments, as would have been provided by House-passed H.R. 5376 in the 117th Congress, could help to alleviate potential takings claims from lessees whose leases are likely to be deemed a property interest that may not be taken without just compensation pursuant to the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, as well as possible breach of contract claims by those lessees against the United States. However, the lessees might claim losses beyond the value of those payments. Also at issue are any potential ramifications of a repeal of the P.L. 115-97 provisions for development on the Alaska Native lands.

In addition to the basic question of whether to continue the program of oil and gas development, related questions have concerned potential constraints on the manner of development—for example, limits to the footprint of energy activities. Under P.L. 115-97, surface development is limited to 2,000 acres, which need not be concentrated in a single area. Some contend that newer technologies would help to consolidate operations and reduce the environmental impacts of development, whereas others maintain that facilities would likely spread out and significantly change the character of the Coastal Plain. For further discussion, see CRS Report RL33872, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR): An Overview. Congress may be interested in any potential additional mitigation measures recommended in the upcoming supplemental EIS, as well as in the timing for that EIS, which has extended beyond original estimates.

CRS InFocus Report: 'Panama - An Overview'; Hydrophilanthropy and My Relationship to Panama

June S. Beittel and Ramon Miro updated (17 May 2023) this CRS report: 'Panama: An Overview'.  

Download CRS_InFocus_Report_ Panama_Overview_17May2023

Panama’s central location in the Americas (linking North and South America), large financial sector, use of the U.S. dollar as currency, and transportation infrastructure—especially the Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans—make the country a global trade hub. Within Central America, it is arguably the closest strategic partner of the United States. 

Political and Economic Environment
Panama holds regular free and fair democratic elections and generally respects civil liberties and political rights, although corruption remains a challenge. Current President Laurentino “Nito” Cortizo of the center-left Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) won a narrow victory in May 2019 elections, receiving 33% of the vote in a seven-candidate contest. Cortizo’s PRD also won 35 seats in Panama’s 71-seat National Assembly; it is working in coalition with the National Republican Liberal Movement (Molirena), which has five seats in the assembly, providing the government with a legislative majority. Cortizo heads Panama’s seventh civilian government since the December 1989 U.S. military intervention that ousted the military regime of General Manuel Antonio Noriega.

Cortizo succeeded Juan Carlos Varela (2014-2019) of the center-right Panameñista Party. Varela served as vice president and foreign minister during the Ricardo Martinelli administration (2009-2014). The Varela administration pursued numerous corruption cases against Martinelli government officials, including Martinelli himself, who was investigated over irregularities in a public welfare program and illegal wiretapping and pardons. The United States extradited Martinelli to Panama in 2018; he was acquitted twice on illegal wiretapping charges, most recently in November 2021. In July 2022, Martinelli declared he would run for president in 2024. In January 2023, the U.S. Department of State designated Martinelli and his immediate family ineligible for entry into the United States under existing anti-corruption authorities due to Martinelli’s involvement in corruption in Panama.

In July 2019, President Cortizo introduced a legislative package of constitutional and public sector reforms intended to reduce corruption and improve public services. The reforms were largely sidetracked by the onset of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020 and stalled after a series of nationwide labor-related strikes and protests weakened public support for Cortizo and the PRD. In June 2022, Cortizo announced he had been diagnosed with a rare blood disorder but said he planned to serve through the end of his term in July 2024. Should the president be unable to complete his term, under Panama’s constitution, current Vice President José Gabriel Carrizo of the PRD would assume presidential duties. The next national elections, both legislative and presidential, are scheduled for May 2024.

Panama experienced severe public health and economic impacts as a result of the pandemic. As of March 2023 (latest data available), Panama reported around 1 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and 8,609 deaths, a mortality rate of 199 deaths per 100,000 people—the highest in Central America. Panama’s services-based economy, which averaged almost 6.2% growth annually from 2010 to 2019, according to International Monetary Fund (IMF) statistics, was especially vulnerable to the pandemic-induced global economic contraction in 2020. The sharp slowdown in international commerce and shipping caused Panama’s economy to contract by 17.9% that year. Growth returned in 2021, with GDP expanding by 15.3%, and the trend continued with an estimated 7.5% expansion in 2022. Increased copper mining revenues, a recovery in private investment, and strong activity related to the Panama Canal are contributing to the recovery. Tightening financial conditions since 2022 have dampened expectations forGDP growth in 2023 to a projected 4%, according to the IMF.

U.S.-Panama Relations
Close U.S.-Panamanian relations stem in part from the extensive linkages developed when the Panama Canal was under U.S. control (1914-1999) and Panama hosted major U.S. military installations. A bilateral free-trade agreement (FTA) that entered into force in 2012 has significantly liberalized bilateral trade. Because Panama has a services-based economy, it runs a large merchandise trade deficit with the United States. In 2022, the United States exported $12.0 billion in goods to Panama and imported $523 million in goods, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce; U.S. services exports to Panama in 2021 (most recent year available) amounted to $2.3 billion, and services imports amounted to $1.3 billion. The stock of U.S. foreign direct investment in Panama stood at $3.5 billion in 2021, a decrease of 11% from 2020. The bulk of U.S. investment in Panama is held in nonbank holding companies at $3.1 billion, followed by wholesale trade at $736 million and mining at $123 million.

Under the Biden Administration, high-level engagement with Panama is continuing. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas visited in April 2022 to discuss migration. President Cortizo participated in the White House’s virtual Summits for Democracy in December 2021 and March 2023 and in the June 2022 Summit of the Americas held in Los Angeles. In July 2022, Panama signed a memorandum of understanding with the United States (after joining Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic in the Alliance for Development in Democracy) to strengthen supply chain resiliency.

Migration.Large-scale northward migration through the treacherous Darién Gap region of Panama bordering Colombia has become a humanitarian and security concern for Panama and the region (see Figure 1). Migrants in the Darién face widespread criminality—including sexual violence—and a high risk of disease and injuries. Large concentrations of migrants also imperil Indigenous communities in the Darién, which are unprepared to receive them, and in other ecologically fragile areas.

Many migrants pay smugglers to guide them through the most difficult parts of the land route and to enter Central America by boat across the Gulf of Urabá on the Caribbean Sea. Panama cooperates with neighboring Colombia and Costa Rica to regulate the flow of migrants through its borders and prosecute smugglers. However, the scale of migration in recent years has challenged Panama’s border patrol, which must devote substantial resources to registration and biometric screening of migrants and to rescuing those in distress. Panama estimates that over 250,000 migrants passed through the Darién in 2022, nearly twice the 2021 number. The majority of migrant encounters in 2022 were of Venezuelans, estimated at 150,327; followed by Ecuadorians (29,356); Haitians (22,435); Cubans (5,961); and other nationalities. According to Panama’s National Migration Service, 127,678 migrants entered Panama through the Darién during the first four months of 2023—a sixfold increase over the same period in 2022. The United Nations predicts that up to 400,000 migrants, including families with children, may travel through the Darién in 2023.

Panama has worked closely with the United States and other countries in the region to advance cooperation on migration. Panama is a signatory of the 2022 Los Angeles Declaration on Migration and Protection, and it hosts some 145,000 resident Venezuelans, according to the International Organization for Migration. In April 2023, Panama, Colombia, and the United States announced a two-month coordinated campaign to combat migrant smuggling through the Darién and longer-term efforts to deter irregular migration through the region.

Drug Trafficking and Money Laundering. According to the State Department’s 2022 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report (INCSR), transnational drug trafficking organizations use Panama as a transit country to smuggle cocaine to the United States and other markets, with up to 30% of cocaine produced in Colombia passing through Panama. Nevertheless, according to the INCSR, Panama is among the region’s most capable partners in countering illicit narcotics. Panama has improved its compliance with international standards for anti-money laundering measures, but, according to the INCSR, deficiencies exist in information sharing, risk management, prosecutions of white-collar criminals, and implementation of a 2020 beneficial ownership law.

Concerns About China. Panama established diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China (PRC)—and cut ties with Taiwan—in 2017. In November 2017, Panama became the first country in Latin America to join China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which aims to develop PRC-controlled global infrastructure, transportation, trade, and production networks. Then-President Varela touted Panama’s participation in the BRI as an opportunity to improve Panama’s infrastructure and its connectivity to Asia. These projects have raised concerns among U.S. military leaders that the heavy operational presence of PRC-linked companies along the Panama Canal may present a security vulnerability for the United States. The Varela administration also signed some 30 cooperation agreements with China and began FTA negotiations. Since then, the Cortizo administration has canceled several planned Chinese projects, citing their lack of feasibility and the failure of some PRC-linked firms to fulfill obligations, and has suspended the FTA talks. China remains Panama’s second-largest trading partner.

U.S. Assistance. The United States allocated $12.5 million in bilateral aid to Panama in FY2022, including $11.3 million in global health funding to build on Panama’s COVID-19 response; $500,000 for nonproliferation, anti-terrorism, demining, and related programs (NADR); and $725,000 for International Military Education and Training (IMET). For FY2024, the Biden Administration requested $1.2 million for aid administered by the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development, in addition to support for regional and global programs administered by those and other agencies.

My Relationship to Panama
This report caught my eye. My first hydrophilanthropic work was conducted in the Southern Darién province working with the Embera Indians on their comarca. I made a number of trips down there under the auspics of Lifewater International from about 1998-2000. In May 2000 our team, composed of Loring Green, Bob Jarrett, Craig Woodring and I headed to Panama. We donated a small LS-100 drilling rig, a supply of mud, 500 feet of 4" PVC pipe, 4 Bush hand pumps, an electric submersible pump and other assorted equipment. We trained the Embera crew on the operation of the rig, borehole drilling, casing installation and pump installation. We did not return for a second trip because the Embera warned us of FARC (Colombian guerrillas) present in the dangerous Darién Gap area. We left in May 2005.

Fast forward to 2009 or so. Loring Green emailed me to say he had been contacted by a Peace Corps volunteer who had returned to the Darién (the PC had left right before we arrived in May 2000. Turns out that our Embera Indian crew was still drilling and installing wells. I had hoped to get back there and see what was needed. I have never gotten back there I doubt that I will.
