Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA) received draft U.S. air quality permits for oil drilling in Alaskas Chukchi and Beaufort seas. The Environmental Protection Agencys permits, which are subject to 30 days of public comment, were issued today after the Environmental Appeals Board overturned previous approvals last year. The Hague-based company also needs authorization from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement to begin exploration.

Shells spokesman Curtis Smith didnt immediately respond to an e-mailed request for comment.
