Title: ●Helium Contracts(Section 610 Review) 
Abstract:

On October 2, 2013, Congress enacted the Helium Stewardship Act of 2013. This Act required the Department of the Interior (DOI), through the Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), to begin offering helium for auction or sale on an annual basis. Additionally, the Helium Stewardship Act of 2013 required BLM to dispose of the Federal Helium System (including the Federal Helium Reserve) as of September 30, 2021. Any excess helium and helium assets remaining on September 30, 2021, will be transferred to the General Services Administration (GSA), which will follow its statutory disposal process. Federal In-Kind users will continue to have access to helium until September 30, 2022, while the GSA completes its disposal process.
