Its something like between 15 March and 15 July they can't do any exploration drilling as its the sage grouse breeding season. Have a look at this which explains it:
Seasonal Use: As authorized by permitting agency or agencies, activities (production, maintenance,
and emergency activity exempted) will typically be prohibited from March 15 – July 15 outside of the
NSO perimeter of an active lek in Core Areas where breeding, nesting, and early brood-rearing habitat
is present. Allowed maintenance and production activity will not occur between the hours of 4:00 -
8:00 am and 7:00 - 10:00 pm between March 15 – July 15. In areas used as winter concentration areas,
exploration and development activity will be prohibited December 1 – March 15. Activities may be
allowed during seasonal closure periods as determined on a case-by-case basis. Activities in unsuitable
habitat also may be approved year round on a case-by-case basis.
5. Noise: New noise levels, at the perimeter of a lek, should not exceed 40 dBA above ambient noise
(existing activity included) from 6:00 pm - 8:00 am during the breeding season (March 15 – July 15)
with the exception of those sites identified under Special Management Core Areas
