DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement
Environmental Documents Prepared for Proposed Oil, Gas, and
Mineral Operations by the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
Region
AGENCY: The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and
Enforcement, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of the availability of environmental documents prepared
for OCS mineral proposals by the Gulf of Mexico OCS Region.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and
Enforcement (BOEMRE), in accordance with Federal Regulations that
[[Page 38674]]
implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), announces the
availability of NEPA-related Site-Specific Environmental Assessments
(SEA) and Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSI), prepared by BOEMRE
for the following oil-, gas-, and mineral-related activities proposed
on the Gulf of Mexico.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Public Information Unit, Information
Services Section at the number below. Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management, Regulation and Enforcement, Gulf of Mexico OCS Region,
Attention: Public Information Office (MS 5034), 1201 Elmwood Park
Boulevard, Room 250, New Orleans, Louisiana 70123-2394, or by calling
1-800-200-GULF.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEMRE prepares SEAs and FONSIs for
proposals that relate to exploration, development, production, and
transport of oil, gas, and mineral resources on the Federal OCS. These
SEAs examine the potential environmental effects of activities
described in the proposals and present BOEMRE conclusions regarding the
significance of those effects. Environmental Assessments are used as a
basis for determining whether or not approval of the proposals
constitutes a major Federal action that significantly affects the
quality of the human environment in accordance with NEPA Section
102(2)(C). A FONSI is prepared in those instances where BOEMRE finds
that approval will not result in significant effects on the quality of
the human environment. The FONSI briefly presents the basis for that
finding and includes a summary or copy of the SEA.
This notice constitutes the public notice of availability of
environmental documents required under the NEPA Regulations.
