Restoring Community Input and Public Protections in Oil and Gas Leasing Act of 2020 This bill modifies several provisions related to oil and gas leasing on public lands. Among other things, the bill revises the competitive auction process to a competitive-sealed bidding process and eliminates non-competitive bidding; increases royalty and rental rates; requires lease sales to be held in each state no more than three times per year instead of quarterly; decreases lease term durations from 10 to 5 years, adds a number of new provisions related to protection of private surface estate owners; authorizes the Department of the Interior to issue master leasing plans; requires certain lease information be made available on public websites, including the names of all current and former lessees and operators; and imposes a new fee to submit an expression of interest for lands that the public is interested in leasing.
