Proposed Action
The Coast Guard published a Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking for ‘‘Salvage
and Marine Firefighting Requirements;
Vessel Response Plans for Oil’’ in the
Federal Register on May 10, 2002 (67
FR 31868). Please refer to this Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking for a summary of
the regulatory history behind that
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. The
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is
available in the DOT docket.
During the comment period on the
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, we
received comments both in the docket
and at public meetings challenging our
reliance upon an environmental
analysis done in 1992 to support the
publication of the original vessel
response plan requirements. These
comments argued that it was old and
out of date, and missing pieces that
would be required of an Environmental
Assessment done today. We reviewed
those comments, as well as the old
Environmental assessment/Finding of
No Significant Impact, and determined
that while the original study remains
valid for the non-salvage portion of the
vessel response plan we should conduct
a new Environmental Analysis before
finalizing the salvage and marine
firefighting rulemaking.
Draft Programmatic Environmental
Assessment
We have prepared a draft
Programmatic Environmental
Assessment. See ‘‘Viewing the
comments and draft Programmatic
Environmental Assessment’’ above. The
draft Programmatic Environmental
Assessment identifies and examines the
reasonable alternatives and assesses
their potential environmental impact.
We are requesting your comments on
environmental concerns that you may
have related to the Programmatic
Environmental Assessment. This
includes suggesting analyses and
methodologies for use in the
Programmatic Environmental
Assessment or possible sources of data
or information not included in the draft
Programmatic Environmental
Assessment. Your comments will be
considered in preparing the final
Programmatic Environmental
Assessment.

BILLING CODE 4310–6W–P
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Minerals Management Service
Federal Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
Administrative Boundaries Extending
from the Submerged Lands Act
Boundary seaward to the Limit of the
United States Outer Continental Shelf
AGENCY: Minerals Management Service
(MMS), Interior.
ACTION: Setting Federal OCS offshore
administrative boundaries beyond State
submerged lands for Department of the
Interior planning, coordination, and
administrative purposes.
SUMMARY: This notice informs the public
that the MMS has developed offshore
administrative lines from each adjoining
coastal state as described below. Having
these lines in place provides various
benefits, including:
1. Enhancing the Secretary’s ability to
ensure that the ‘‘4–C’s’’—
communication, consultation and
cooperation, all in support of
conservation—are considered as she
engages in efforts to identify which
State has the most interest in the
extended area offshore from its coastline
because of the increasing number of
commercial activities on the Federal
OCS, such as permits for liquefied
natural gas facilities, wind power, and
wave energy;
2. Providing the basis for more
accurate delineation of OCS planning
areas;
3. Assisting in ‘‘affected State’’ status
under the Coastal Zone Management
Act and the OCS Lands Act. For
example, section 18 of the OCS Lands
Act requires the Secretary to consider
the ‘‘laws, goals, and policies of affected
States.’’ Similarly, section 19 analysis
requires the Secretary to balance
national interests with the ‘‘well-being
of the citizens of the affected State’’;
4. Providing a more accurate basis for
the Secretary to consider support for, or
objections to, a State’s request to
analyze leasing off its shores. Without
such administrative lines, it is difficult
to define these areas accurately;
5. Assisting in the section 18
comparative analysis to determine ‘‘an
equitable sharing of developmental
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
127
benefits and environmental risks among
regions.’’ Such lines will more
accurately define the necessary
assumptions of what are ‘‘regions’’; and
6. Helping define appropriate
consultation and information sharing
with States. For example, section 19(e)
authorizes cooperative agreement with
affected States for such activities as
information sharing, joint planning,
review of plans, and environmental
monitoring. This is even more important
with the recent passage of the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 which gave the MMS
the authority to permit alternative and
renewable energy projects on the OCS.
Many of these projects will be located
in areas in which the MMS has not
recently been active.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Renee Orr, Chief, Leasing Division,
telephone 703–787–1215.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The MMS undertook this task in light
of the increasing number and type of
both traditional and non-traditional
energy, alternative energy-related, and
other activities on the OCS. Such
activities include sand and gravel
dredging; liquefied natural gas handling
facilities; wind, wave, and current
energy generation projects; and
mariculture, as well as other innovative
uses of the sea, seabed, existing oil and
gas operations, and OCS oil and gas
infrastructure that may be pursued in
the future. Therefore, the MMS believes
that it is appropriate to delineate
offshore administrative lines at this
time.
Methodology
Over the past two years, the MMS,
National Ocean Service, and
Department of State have been updating
the National Baseline which provides
the basis for developing international
jurisdictions, such as the Territorial Sea,
Contiguous Zone, and Exclusive
Economic Zone, as well as a basis for
the proposed boundaries seaward of the
Submerged Lands Act state waters. We
have used, to the extent practicable, the
updated National Baseline to derive
offshore administrative boundaries in
compliance with accepted cartographic
practice. The MMS has used the
computational software known as
CARIS LOTS ‘‘Limits and Boundaries.’’
One of the many features of this
software is that it takes a predetermined
baseline and determines boundaries for
states with an equidistant line for states
that are adjacent or a median line for
opposite states, based on geodetic
calculations. This software was
