According to a Washington Post article (U.S. Proposal Would Allow Oil Drilling ):
The Interior Department will announce a proposal Monday to allow oil and gas drilling in federal waters near Virginia that are currently off-limits and permit new exploration in Alaska’s Bristol Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, according to people who have seen or been told about drafts of the plan.
Don’t know if it will include areas off our shores. We will all have to wait and see.
