### sec.392AL Restrictions on giving overlapping authority priority
Overlapping authority priority may be recommended or given only if it is considered—
either—
it is unlikely the applicant and the overlapping permit holder will enter into—
for a geothermal permit—a geothermal coordination arrangement; or
for a GHG permit—a GHG coordination arrangement; or
an arrangement mentioned in subparagraph (i) for the proposed petroleum lease is not commercially or technically feasible; and
the public interest would be best served by not granting a petroleum lease to the applicant first.
