   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2459
   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Western   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Shepherd and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Administrative Procedure Act. Plaintiffs challenges the 
   Bureau of Land Management's grant of eight drilling applications to 
   extract oil from beneath Lake Sakakawea, the plaintiffs' sole source of 
   drinking water. The Bureau's approval of the project, based on the record, 
   was not arbitrary or capricious because it met the statutory and 
   regulatory requirements- reasoned decisionmaking; the Bureau did not 
   prevent the plaintiffs from developing a sufficient record on relevant 
   issues.
