ACTION: Availability of Revised North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27)
Outer Continental Shelf Official Protraction Diagrams and Supplemental
Official Outer Continental Shelf Block Diagrams.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the availability of certain NAD 27-
based Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Official Protraction Diagrams
(OPDs) and Supplemental Official OCS Block Diagrams (SOBDs) depicting
geographic areas located in the Gulf of Mexico. BOEM, in accordance
with its authority and responsibility under the OCS Lands Act, is
announcing the availability of maps used for the description of
renewable energy, mineral, and oil and gas lease sales in the
geographic areas they represent.
The following twelve (12) OPDs (dated October 1, 2014) have been
revised to reflect coast line data of the Gulf Coast of Florida that
was originally approved by the U.S. Baseline Committee in 1999.
Specifically, the coast line, Submerged Lands Act boundary, and the OCS
Lands Act ``Section 8(g) Zone'' boundary have been revised. Eight (8)
SOBDs (dated October 1, 2014) located within OPD NH16-05 (Pensacola)
have been revised to reflect the intersection of the Submerged Lands
Act and Section 8(g) Zone boundaries for the States of Florida and
Alabama (known as the ``Florida wrap-around''). Two (2) SOBDs (dated
October 1, 2014) also located within OPD NH16-05 (Pensacola) have been
revised to reflect the intersection of the Submerged Lands Act and
Section 8(g) Zone boundaries with the ``Military Mission Line.''
BOEM is also publishing a total of six hundred ninety-two (692)
SOBDs that were generated by the Minerals Management Service (a
predecessor bureau of BOEM) using coast line data that was originally
approved by the U.S. Baseline Committee in 1999. These SOBDs (dated
March 1, 1999) reflect the Submerged Lands Act and the Section 8(g)
Zone boundaries adjacent to the Gulf Coast of Florida. In 2000, the
SOBDs were submitted to the State of Florida for signature, indicating
their concurrence with the MMS depiction of the boundaries. Although
Florida did not sign the SOBDs, the diagrams reflect the current
Federal position of these boundaries, and will eventually be superseded
by diagrams with an updated format and BOEM logo. BOEM will continue
working with Florida to resolve any areas of boundary discrepancy.
