Regenerate Alaska requested the cancellation and its money back.

Regenerate Alaska requested the cancellation and its money back, according to a statement provided by the Interior Department’s media office that said the lease was canceled and that the “Office of Natural Resources Revenue refunded full bonus bid and first year rentals.” The statement did not include the amount of the refund.
